1. Preparation before starting:
Make sure to place the freezer on a flat, well-ventilated surface away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Let a new or moved freezer sit for 2-6 hours before powering on, and let it idle for 2-6 hours to stabilize the internal temperature.
2. Temperature regulation:
Adjust the temperature according to the season and the items stored. In summer, set the thermostat to a slightly higher temperature to reduce the compressor running time and energy consumption; in winter, do the opposite to ensure the best freezing effect. (Reference temperature for refrigeration of various foods: beverages: 2-10 ℃, fruits and vegetables: 5-10 ℃, dairy products: 0-5 ℃, fresh fish: -2~2 ℃)
3. Place goods:
There should be gaps between goods to ensure air circulation. Before placing hot food in the refrigerator, let it cool to room temperature.
4. Daily maintenance:
Regularly clean the inside and outside of the freezer with a mild detergent, and avoid using corrosive detergents such as abrasive powder or alkaline solutions. Check and clean the drain hole to prevent blockage.
5. Defrosting:
Direct cooling freezers need to be manually defrosted regularly to prevent thick ice from affecting refrigeration efficiency; automatic defrosting freezers do not require manual intervention, but it should be noted that the temperature may rise slightly during the defrosting process.
6. Safety precautions:
Use a dedicated grounded three-pin power socket. Avoid stacking debris around the refrigerator or placing it too close to the wall to ensure better ventilation and safety.
