Check temperature regularly via digital display.
Use SuperCool when adding large quantities of unfrozen food.
Avoid frequent door openings to maintain stable temperature.
If power outage occurs, keep door closed; food will stay frozen for up to 24 hours.

Tip: Place a thermometer inside to verify temperature accuracy periodically.

Storage Guidelines

Organize food for efficient cooling and easy access.

Pre-freeze fresh food: Use SuperCool function or freeze in small portions.
Label and date all packages.
Do not block air vents inside the compartment.
Store similar items together (meats, vegetables, prepared meals).
Maximum storage times: Follow food safety recommendations (e.g., poultry 9-12 months, vegetables 8-12 months).
Do not store liquids in glass containers (expansion may cause breakage).

WARNING! Do not store flammable, explosive, or corrosive substances. Keep children from climbing inside.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug before cleaning. Never use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or hot water.

Interior: Wipe with soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water. Rinse with damp cloth and dry.
Exterior: Clean door and handle with mild detergent; stainless steel models use appropriate cleaner.
Shelves/Drawers: Remove and wash separately in lukewarm water.
Condenser (rear): Vacuum dust annually to maintain efficiency.
Door seals: Wipe clean to ensure proper sealing.

CAUTION! Do not use steam cleaners, sharp objects, or electrical appliances inside the freezer.

Energy Saving Tips

Place in a cool, dry area away from ovens, heaters, and direct sunlight.
Ensure door seals are tight; test by closing door on a piece of paper—it should hold firmly.
Allow hot food to cool to room temperature before freezing.
Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator compartment to reduce cooling load.
Keep the freezer reasonably full; a full freezer retains cold better than an empty one.
Set temperature to -18°C (0°F); colder settings increase energy use.
