NoFrost Technology

Automatic defrosting system prevents ice buildup.

  2. Benefits: No manual defrosting needed; consistent temperature; better food preservation.
  3. Maintenance: Ensure air vents inside are not blocked by food packages.
  4. Indicator: Defrost cycle runs automatically; may hear fan or water dripping sounds occasionally.

WARNING! Do not attempt to manually defrost or scrape ice as NoFrost system handles it automatically.

Energy Saving Tips

Ensure door seals are clean and intact. Avoid frequent/long door openings. Position away from heat sources. Keep ventilation grills clear. Set temperature to -18°C unless specific needs.

Care & Cleaning
