Energy Saving Tips

Position away from heat sources (ovens, radiators, direct sunlight). Ensure door seals are clean and tight. Allow hot food to cool before freezing. Maintain recommended temperature (-18°C). Defrost regularly if ice exceeds 5mm (though NoFrost minimizes this). Keep condenser coils clean (located at back or underneath).

Care & Cleaning

Unplug before cleaning. Clean interior with mild detergent and warm water. Wipe door seals carefully. Clean exterior with soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Clean condenser coils annually with soft brush or vacuum.

CAUTION! Never use steam cleaners, sharp objects, or electrical appliances inside freezer.
