Ecomax 169L Chest Freezer

Efficient Local Cooling: The Ecomax 169L Chest Freezer (BD-169)

Maximize your storage and minimize your expenses with the Ecomax 169L Chest Freezer. Engineered for durability and high performance, the BD-169 is the ideal solution for small households, apartments, or retail kiosks across Kenya. Because this unit is locally manufactured by Ecomax, you enjoy the peace of mind that comes with dedicated local maintenance and technical support.

The Gold Standard of Energy Savings

Electricity costs can eat into your budget, but the Ecomax BD-169 is built to be “KPLC-friendly.” With a 3-star energy rating and a power-sipping 120W rating, this freezer uses only 188kWh per year. It provides the consistent, deep-freeze performance you need while keeping your monthly utility bills at an absolute minimum.

Smart Features for Daily Convenience

While compact, the BD-169 doesn’t skip on features. The internal sliding glass lid provides a secondary barrier against heat, ensuring your food stays frozen even during frequent lid openings. For maintenance, the front-mounted defrost drain makes cleaning out the unit a simple, mess-free task.

Key Features:

• Rapid Cooling Tech: Powered by R600a refrigerant for fast, eco-friendly freezing.

• Precision Control: Use the front-mounted mechanical thermostat to dial in the perfect temperature.

• Dual Protection: Includes a sturdy handle with an integrated lock and key for secure storage.

• Optimized Organization: Comes with a hanging wire basket to keep smaller, frequently used items easily accessible.

• Silent Performance: Low-noise operation makes it perfect for indoor use without the constant hum of a loud compressor.

Ecomax BD-169 Maintenance & Care Guide

Keep Your 169L Freezer Running Like New:

• The “Local Advantage” Service: Since your Ecomax BD-169 is manufactured in Kenya, always ensure you use genuine Ecomax spare parts for any future repairs. This protects your 1-year warranty and keeps the 120W motor running at peak efficiency.

• Strategic Placement for Visibility: Because this model does not have an internal light, place your freezer in a well-lit area of your kitchen or shop. This helps you find items quickly without keeping the lid open for too long, which saves energy.

• Defrosting via the Front Drain: Don’t let ice build-up steal your storage space. Use the front-mounted defrost drain to easily empty water during cleaning. Never use sharp metal objects to scrape ice; a plastic scraper or letting it melt naturally protects the internal lining.

• Optimize the 120W Rating: To keep your electricity consumption at the promised 188kWh per year, avoid placing hot food directly into the freezer. Let food cool to room temperature first so the compressor doesn’t have to work overtime.

• Sliding Glass Care: Keep the internal sliding glass clean. A clear glass lid allows you to see your inventory without opening it, keeping the cold air trapped and reducing the “start-stop” frequency of the compressor.
