3.1 Uitpak

1. Verwyder alle verpakkingsmateriaal, insluitend skuim en kleefband.
2. Inspect the freezer for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your retailer immediately.
3. Remove any internal accessories and wash them with lukewarm water and a mild detergent before use.

3.2 Plasing

• Place the freezer on a flat, solid surface strong enough to support it when fully loaded.
• Ensure there is at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space on all sides and at the back for proper air circulation.
• Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources (stoves, heaters), or extremely cold environments. The ideal ambient temperature range is 50°F to 90°F (10°C to 32°C).

3.3 Nivellering

The freezer must be level for proper operation. If the freezer is not level, the door gasket may not seal properly, affecting cooling performance. Adjust the leveling feet (if present) or use shims under the freezer as needed.

3.4 Kragverbinding

Plug the freezer into a dedicated, grounded 115V/60Hz electrical outlet. Do not use a multi-outlet adapter or extension cord. Allow the freezer to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerants to settle.

4. Bedryfsinstruksies

4.1 Aanvanklike opstart

1. After plugging in the freezer, set the temperature control dial to the 'MAX' or coldest setting.
2. Allow the freezer to operate empty for 2-4 hours to reach its operating temperature.
3. Once the freezer has cooled sufficiently, you can begin loading food.

4.2 Temperatuurbeheer

The temperature control dial allows you to adjust the internal temperature. Settings typically range from 'MIN' (least cold) to 'MAX' (coldest). A medium setting is usually sufficient for general frozen food storage. Adjust the setting based on ambient temperature and how often the lid is opened.

4.3 Wenke vir die berging van voedsel

• Moenie die vrieskas oorlaai nie. Laat ruimte vir lug om rondom items te sirkuleer.
• Package food properly in airtight containers or freezer bags to prevent freezer burn.
• Vermy om warm kos direk in die vrieskas te plaas; laat dit eers afkoel.
• Minimize lid openings to maintain a consistent internal temperature and conserve energy.

5. Onderhoud

2. Remove all food and store it in another freezer or cooler.
3. Place a shallow pan or towels under the drain plug (if applicable) to collect defrost water.
4. Open the lid and allow the ice to melt naturally. You can speed up the process by placing bowls of hot water inside (do not use boiling water or sharp objects).
5. Sodra dit ontdooi is, maak die binnekant deeglik skoon en droog dit af.
6. Close the drain plug, plug in the freezer, and allow it to cool before returning food.

5.3 Krag Outage Care

Tydens 'n krag outage, keep the freezer lid closed to maintain the internal temperature for as long as possible. Food can remain frozen for several hours depending on the freezer's insulation and how full it is.
