Installation

Blue Star’s dealer technician will carry out the installation of your Chest Freezer. However, for your general information, the following aspects need to be taken care of during installation:

The appliance should be installed at a suitable site, on a good, firm and level surface.
Any floor unevenness should be corrected at the time of installation.
A gap of at least 6 inches (150mm) must be allowed on all sides to facilitate adequate air circulation on all sides of the cabinet.
The appliance is full of fluid/refrigerant that is used to cool it. In transit, it may get shaken around, so it is better to let it settle before it is plugged in.
Leave the appliance stand in the final position for at least 3 hours before switching it on, so that the refrigerant circuit stabilises and no operating problems occur.
The appliance should be connected to a single phase 230V 50Hz AC supply by means of a three-pin plug, suitably earthed. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green : Earth Blue/Black : Neutral Red : Phase
It is recommended that the interior of the appliance be cleaned before putting it to use. Lukewarm water containing a little bicarbonate of soda, mixed in the proportion of 1 teaspoonful of bicarbonate to 500ml of water, should be used for the purpose.

Operation of Blue Star Hard Top

The red lamp lights up whenever the appliance is connected to live electricity supply.
The green lamp indicates that the compressor is running or not. It goes off automatically when the temperature inside the cabinet reaches to set point as per thermostat knob setting.
The thermostat can be found on the front side of the appliance.
The thermostat knob can be used to set the desired temperature.

It can be adjusted as per the modes given below:

Freezer mode: From –14°C ± 2°C to –27°C ± 2°C.
Cooler mode: From 5°C to –6°C ± 2°C.

Use only dedicated power socket for supply to the appliance. Do not use an extension cord; it may cause overloading and intermittent tripping of other appliances or household lights.
Never splash water on your appliance. It may cause short circuit.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding (earthing) reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. In order to prevent possible electric shock, this appliance must be grounded. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if you have doubts on whether the appliance is properly grounded. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in an electric shock.
Never unplug your appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.

Caution

Before use, the appliance must be placed horizontally and on a levelled base. Only by this way an unimpeded circuit of the refrigerant and optimum function can be ensured.
When your appliance is in operation, do not touch the cold surface in the cabinet, particularly with your hands that are damp or wet. Skin could adhere to these extremely cold surfaces. It may cause frostbite.
Wait for 10 minutes or longer before reconnecting the plug. (It may cause the operation of the appliance to fail.)
Do not install the appliance in a wet place or a place where water or rain splashes. (Deterioration of insulation of electrical parts may cause electrical leakage.)

If you are not using the appliance for an extended period, leave the lid open to prevent odours building up inside. When the appliance lid is open, always set the lock in closed position and keep the key away from small children to prevent accidents.

Technical safety

This appliance contains a small amount of natural refrigerant (R290, R600a), a natural gas that is environment friendly. Though it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuits are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. In the event of eye contact with the refrigerant, wash your eyes instantly with plenty of running water and call/consult an eye specialist immediately. If a leak is detected,

avoid any flames or anything which creates a spark,
switch off at the mains and unplug the appliance,
ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several minutes, and
call Blue Star Ltd.

The room must be 1 cubic metre in size for every 8g of R290 or R600a, whichever refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate. The refrigerant charge quantities are as per international standards. Never start up an appliance showing any sign of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer. The amount of refrigerant used in the appliance depends upon the size of the room where it will be installed. This can prevent creation of flammable gas and air mixture if a leak in refrigerating circuit occurs.

Maintenance of Blue Star Hard Top Chest Freezer CHFSD200

Frosting

Small amount of frost will accumulate inside the appliance, depending upon the frequency and duration of the lid operation or the amount of moisture inside and relative humidity outside. It is essential to ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form at places where it will affect the close fitting of the lid, which might allow air to penetrate the cabinet, thus encouraging continuous running of the compressor.

Removing frost

Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with a brush or a plastic scraper.

Do not use metal or sharp scrapers which may lead to removal of paint from the surface of the cabinet.
Remove all dislodged frost from the cabinet floor. For the removal of light frost, it is not necessary to switch off the appliance.
For removing heavy ice deposits, the appliance should be completely disconnected from the power supply and emptied.
The contents should be placed in a cardboard box and wrapped in thick blankets or layers of paper to keep them cold.

Cleaning

Clean the inside with warm water mixed with a little bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly.
Wash all removable parts in the same way and reassemble. Do not forget to insert the drain plug.
Clean the condenser with the blower every fortnight.

Defrost Water Drainage Method

There is a water conduit at the bottom of the appliance; when defrosting, pull out the plastic cover; defrosted water will drip into the hole and flow out. (Note: Please keep the plastic cover safe during the defrosting and put it back after defrosting is done.)
Pull out the water conduit by 20-25mm until the water hole can be seen.
Twist the water conduit until the arrow points downward.
After defrosting is done, make sure there is no more water coming out; then put the plastic cover back in place and make the arrow point upward.
