Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Position on level floor.

Choose location: Place on stable, level surface away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
Ventilation: Ensure minimum clearance (5 cm sides, 10 cm back, 30 cm top) for air circulation.
Level appliance: Adjust front feet using a wrench to ensure door closes properly.
Electrical connection: Plug into grounded 220-240V/50Hz outlet. Do not use extension cords.
Door reversal (if needed): Follow instructions in separate door reversal guide.

WARNING! Freezer is heavy; use two people for moving. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent overheating.

First-Time Setup

After installation, allow freezer to stabilize before use.

Initial cooling: Plug in and switch on. Set to recommended temperature (-18°C).
SuperCool mode: Activate SuperCool for 24 hours before loading food to achieve optimal temperature.
Temperature setting: Use control panel to set desired freezer temperature.
Alarm test: Check door alarm by leaving door open for 2 minutes (alarm should sound).
Load food: Once temperature is stable, arrange food items evenly.

CAUTION! Do not load large quantities of unfrozen food at once. Allow freezer to reach set temperature first.

Tip: Keep door openings brief and infrequent to maintain stable temperature.

Storage Organization

Organize food for optimal freezing and easy access.

Shelves: Adjust height to accommodate different package sizes.
Door compartments: Store smaller items, frozen vegetables, ice packs.
Labeling: Label packages with contents and date for first-in-first-out use.
Air circulation: Do not overpack; allow air to circulate around items.
Hot food: Cool to room temperature before freezing to reduce energy use.

WARNING! Do not block air vents inside freezer. Ensure packages are sealed to prevent freezer burn.

NoFrost Technology

Automatic defrosting system eliminates ice buildup.

How it works: A fan circulates cold air evenly. Evaporator coils periodically heat to melt frost; water drains to evaporation tray.

Benefits: No manual defrosting needed, consistent temperature, better energy efficiency, more storage space (no ice buildup).

Note: Slight humming during defrost cycle is normal. Ensure drainage hole at back is not blocked.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug before cleaning. Use mild detergent and soft cloth.

Interior: Remove all food. Wipe shelves and walls with solution of warm water and mild detergent. Rinse with damp cloth and dry.
Exterior: Clean door and control panel with soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Door seals: Wipe gaskets regularly to ensure proper seal.
Condenser coils: Vacuum rear coils annually to maintain efficiency (only if accessible).

CAUTION! Never use sharp objects to remove ice (not needed with NoFrost). Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
Freezer not cooling	Power issue / settings	Check plug connection; ensure power is on; verify temperature setting.
Alarm sounds	Door open / temperature rise	Close door properly; check if large food load added recently; mute alarm if needed.
Unusual noise	Vibration / fan	Ensure freezer is level; check for items touching back wall; noise during defrost cycle is normal.
Water inside or under unit	Drain blockage / spill	Check drainage hole at back; clean if blocked; wipe spills immediately.
Display not working	Power / child lock	Check power supply; disable child lock (press and hold for 3 seconds).
Ice forms despite NoFrost	Door seal / usage	Check door seal for damage; avoid leaving door open for long periods.
