Important safety instructions of Euhomy Upright Freezer MF-3.0-Y
WARNING: READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE. WHEN USING THIS APPLIANCE, ALWAYS EXERCISE BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
NOTE: If the refrigerator/freezer has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time wait 24 hours before plugging the unit in.
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care guide.
This freezer must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the installation section.
Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the connector end.
Unplug your freezer before cleaning or before making any repairs.
Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your freezer.
If your old freezer is not being used, we recommend that you remove the doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
WARNING: After your freezer is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
Do not refreeze foods, which have been thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 reads: “…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 40˚F”.
“…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat.”
“…Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of its eating quality as you can.
This freezer should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.
Do not operate your freezer in the presence of explosive fumes.
DANGER
Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer, take off the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
Euhomy Upright Freezer MF-3.0-Y Installing your freezer
UNPACKING YOUR FREEZER
Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the freezer accessories inside and outside.
Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape, or printed materials before powering on the freezer.
ADJUSTING YOUR FREEZER
Your freezer is designed for freestanding installation only. It should not be recessed or built-in.
Place the freezer on a surface strong enough to support it fully loaded.
When moving the freezer, never tilt it more than a 45-degree angle. This could damage the compressor and the sealed system.
If the freezer is tilted let it stand in an upright position for at least 24 hours prior to plugging in. This is to allow the refrigerant to settle.
PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
To assure your freezer works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation, plumbing, and electrical connections. The following are recommended clearances around the freezer:
Sides… 4” (102mm)
Back. 4” (102mm)
Top. 4” (102mm)
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT
Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with proper grounding to power the freezer.
Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order to accommodate a two plug outlet.
This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the freezer and may result in a shock hazard.
USE OF EXTENSION CORD
Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug.
The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD LONGER THAN 12 FT.
INSTALL LIMITATIONS
Do not install your freezer in any location not properly insulated or heated e.g. garage etc. Your freezer was not designed to operate in temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.
Select a suitable location for the freezer on a hard even surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected.
Freezer Feature and Use
OPERATING YOUR FREEZER
- Once the freezer is in its proper place, plug it in an electrical outlet having 115 volts and 15 amps.
Set the temperature, on the temperature control knob. “1” is the warmest and “7” is the coldest. Initially set the temperature on “4”. Place food inside the freezer. After using the freezer for 24 hours set the freezer to your desired setting.
In case you unplug your freezer or experience an electrical outage, allow 5 minutes before plugging it back in.
GENERAL FEATURES
Adjustable temperature dial: Your freezer will automatically maintain the temperature level you select. The temperature control dial has 7 settings plus OFF. “1” is the warmest, “7” is the coldest. Turning the dial to OFF stops cooling the freezer. Set the dial to “4” and allow 24 hours to pass before adjusting the temperature to your needs.
NOTE: If the freezer has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time wait 24 hours before plugging the unit in.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

- The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.
DEFROSTING
For most efficient operations and minimum energy consumption, defrost whenever the frost becomes 1/4” thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove the frost, as it may damage the cooling coils.
(A punctured coil will void the warranty). Use only a plastic scraper. Do not use boiling water as it may damage the unit.Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
Turn the temperature control to the OFF position and unplug the unit. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer door open.
NOTE
Monitor the defrost pan to avoid overflow.
When defrosting is complete, wipe the interior of the freezer with a soft cloth. Plug-in power cord back into the electrical outlet.
Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
Return the food into the freezer.
DOOR ALIGNMENT
Your freezer has two leveling legs which are located in the front bottom corners of your freezer.
After properly placing your freezer in its final position, you can level your freezer.
Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them counterclockwise to raise your freezer or by turning them clockwise to lower your freezer.
The freezer door will close easier when leveling legs are extended.

Life tips
QUESTION | ANSWER |
Are the shelves insidethe freezer movable? |
The shelves in our 1.1and 2.1 Cu.Ftfreezers are movable, while the shelves in our 3.0 Cu.Ft freezer are immovable. The reason is that because the inner space of the 3.0 Cu.Ft freezer is bigger, in order to achieve a good cooling effect, there is a cooling tube attached to each shelf. The shelves are designed immovable so as to prevent the cooling tube from being damaged. |
I hearthe compressor turnson and off. Is that normal? |
The temperature range of our freezer is from -7 to - 8 degree F. Pleasekindly note thatthe temperature willbe a little higher when you measure the temperature with the door open. |
Why are there some white spots on the outside surfaceof the freezer |
It's normal.The compressor turns on automatically when the temperature insidethe freezer is higher thanthe settled temperature and turns off automatically when the temperature inside the freezer reaches the settled temperature. |
Where is the temperature dial of the freezer? |
For details, pleaserefer to P4.Open the protective cover, twist out the screw, pull out the leakage hole of the protective cap on the other side, and fix the hinge on it with screws. Both the top and bottom of the freezer need to replace the hinges |
Why is the freezer making a sound when it is plugged in? |
Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations are normal operating sounds that you may hear. They are made while refrigerant is circulating through the coolingcoils. Besides, the thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off |
Why doesthe freezer havea smell of gasoline? |
The freezer was cleaned by detergent before it was sent out from the factoryand there is paint on the backof the freezer. We suppose it'sbeen put in the box for too long. If the freezercan work right,then there is no problem with it. You just need to put it in a ventilated place for some time and then the smell will disappear. |
Why are the twosides of the freezer very hot? |
Please do not getthe freezer too close to the wall.It's better to leave a 4 inches gap between the freezer and the wall,so that the freezer can dissipate heat well. If the sides are really hot, please plug it off for 30 mins-1 hour to give it a rest and then plug in. |
Is it necessary to put a drip pan under the freezer? |
We think it is not necessary to put a drip pan under the freezer because the temperature insideof the freezer is below 7.6 degree F, there will be no water dripping down. And our freezer will not produce liquid waste. |
