USE OF THE APPLIANCE  
Before plugging in your freezer for the first time,  
remove all packaging materials, clean freezer with a  
damp soft cloth then wipe dry.  
Temperature Control  
There is a thermostat control knob located inside the  
freezer. Markings on the control knob are: MIN / NOR /  
MAX / OFF. MIN being the warmest setting and MAX  
is the coldest setting. It is recommended to set the  
knob at NOR position for normal use.  
Lock  
This freezer is equipped with a built-in lock and two  
keys are supplied.  
Storing Frozen Food  
When using the freezer for the first time or after  
defrosting, turn the temperature control to MAX setting  
for at least two hours before introducing food to be  
stored.  
All frozen food products should be placed in the  
freezer as soon as possible to avoid the frozen food  
from defrosting.  
Storage recommendation printed on the food’s  
packaging should always be followed.

Freezing Fresh Food  
Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out  
under the most hygienic conditions as freezing alone  
does not sterilize the food. It is advisable to freeze the  
food by packing it into separate meal portions and not  
in bulk form. Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs  
into the freezer. Prior to storing the frozen food, pack it  
in plastic bags, aluminum sheets or freezing  
containers and place into the freezer.  
Defrosting  
Remove the electrical plug from the wall socket, open  
the door and remove all contents. Defrost using a  
plastic scraper, or let the temperature rise naturally  
until the frost melts. Then wipe away the remaining ice  
and water. Once finished, plug the freezer back in and  
check the thermostat knob is on the correct setting. It  
is recommended to defrost when ¼” of frost develops  
on the walls.  
Cleaning your freezer  
Always unplug unit before cleaning. Mix a solution of 2  
tbsp baking soda to 1 qt water. Dampen cloth in this  
solution to clean and then dry with soft cloth.

Troubleshooting  
Please check the following:  
The freezer is not working  
-
-
-
Check the plug is inserted correctly and firmly into  
the wall socket  
Check there is power to the wall socket by  
plugging in another appliance.  
Check the fuse.  
The freezer is noisy when running  
-
-
-
Make sure freezer is level and not in contact with  
another appliance or furniture.  
A gentle trickling sound is normal; this is likely  
coolant flowing through the unit.  
Sound of compressor – compressor will run more  
frequently when temperature is high.  
The freezer does not cool sufficiently  
-
If the door has been opened too often, or it has  
been left open for a while it will take time for the  
freezer to reach its set temperature.  
-
Be sure the unit has sufficient clearance,  
especially in the rear. Obstructed airflow will  
reduce cooling efficiency.
