Delay 5 minutes before restarting if operation has been interrupted. TEMPERATURE CONTROL Power Run Initially, set the chest freezer control at mid position. If you wish a colder temperature,set the desired compartment control to a higher number. The knob should be kept upright normally to adjust the temperature. Power: when the light is on, the power is on. Run: when the light is on, the compressor is working normally. “0” stop the compressor. “7” is the strongest cooling position and is suitable for fast freezing. Do not keep the knob at this point for long. ADVICE ON FOOD STORAGE 1. Never store hot food in the chest freezer. Always wait until cooled off. 2. When storing, cover food with vinyl wrap or store in acontainer with lid. When moisture in the food evaporates, taste and nutrition of the food disappear as well. 3. Never place bottles in the freezer compartment.They may break while freezing. 4. Never refreeze food that has been thawed after being frozen. This would cause the taste and nutrition to disappear. 5. Clean food before yous tore it, so that adjacent food will not be spoiled. 6. There must be space between the foods stored in the cabinet, between the foods and the inner surface of the cabinet, so as to keep good ventilation of cold air and freeze evenly. Do not put in any bottled or canned beverage with freezing point above the temperature in the cabinet when it is below zero. 7. For foods that should be moisture-free or lose water easily, wrap them up with hermetical food bags or fresh films before putting in the cabinet for the sake of avoiding smell-mixing and reducing frosting. 8. Storage of volatile and combustible gases, liquids such as strong alkalies, strong acids, petrol, etc. is forbidden. 5 CARE AND CLEANING Cleaning-Inside ● To clean the inside,use a soft cloth dampered with solution of at ablespoon of baking soda to a quarter of water, or some mild detergent. ● This solution both cleans and neutralizes odors.
