4. Configuration et installation
4.1 Déballage
- Retirez tous les matériaux d'emballage, y compris la mousse et le ruban adhésif.
- Vérifiez que le congélateur n'a pas subi de dommages liés au transport. Signalez immédiatement tout dommage à votre revendeur.
4.2 Placement
- Choose a location with a firm, level floor that can support the weight of the freezer when fully loaded.
- Ensure there is at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space around the sides and back of the freezer for proper air circulation.
- Avoid placing the freezer in direct sunlight or near heat-generating appliances like ovens, radiators, or dishwashers.
- N’installez pas le congélateur dans des zones où la température est susceptible de descendre en dessous de 5°C (41°F) ou de monter au-dessus de 38°C (100°F).
4.3 Connexion électrique
- Before plugging in, allow the freezer to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours to allow the refrigerant to settle.
- Connect the freezer to a dedicated, grounded 120V, 60Hz electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord or a multi-outlet adapter.
- Ensure the electrical circuit is protected by a fuse or circuit breaker.
5. Mode d'emploi
5.1 Démarrage initial
- After plugging in the freezer, allow it to operate empty for 2-3 hours to reach the desired temperature before loading food.
5.2 Contrôle de la température
The freezer features a temperature control dial, typically located on the front lower right side. This dial allows you to select between cooling, freezing, and temperature maintenance modes.
- Cooling Mode (Refrigerator): Use for items requiring refrigeration, generally between 2°C and 8°C.
- Freezing Mode (Freezer): Use for long-term storage of frozen foods, typically between -18°C and -26°C.
- Adjust the dial to the desired setting based on the type of food being stored and the required temperature.
5.3 Fast Freezing Function
To rapidly freeze fresh food, activate the 'Fast Freezing' option on the control panel. This function quickly lowers the internal temperature to approximately -30°C to preserve food quality. Once the food is frozen, you can return the freezer to its regular operating mode.
5.4 Chargement des aliments
- Do not overload the freezer. Leave space for air to circulate around items.
- For best results, pre-package food in airtight containers or freezer bags.
