3. Neteja inicial
Before first use, clean the interior and exterior of the freezer with a soft cloth and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
4. Connexió d'alimentació
After placement and cleaning, allow the freezer to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it into a power outlet. This allows the refrigerant fluids to settle, preventing potential damage to the cooling system. Plug the freezer into a dedicated, grounded 115V/60Hz electrical outlet.
5. Funcionament inicial
Once plugged in, the freezer will begin to cool. Set the adjustable thermostat to your desired temperature. It is recommended to allow the freezer to run for several hours (e.g., 4-6 hours) empty before loading it with food to ensure it reaches the optimal freezing temperature.
Instruccions de funcionament
1. Control de temperatura
The freezer features an adjustable thermostat located on the front of the unit. Turn the dial to select a temperature setting between -10°F and 10°F. A lower number indicates a warmer temperature, while a higher number indicates a colder temperature. Adjust the setting based on your storage needs and ambient conditions.
