Tip: For long absences, you may empty the freezer, disconnect power, clean, and leave the door slightly ajar to prevent odors.

Using the Freezer

Optimal use ensures efficiency and food safety.

1. Loading food: Pre-cool hot food to room temperature before freezing. Package food airtight to prevent freezer burn.
2. Organization: Use baskets for smaller items. Place newer items behind older ones (first-in, first-out).
3. Freezing fresh food: Use Super Freeze function (if available) for large quantities. Spread packages to allow air circulation.
4. Ice making: Fill ice trays ¾ full; twist to release cubes.
5. Door open alarm: Alarm will sound if door is open >60 seconds. Close door firmly to stop.
6. Temperature alarm: Sounds if interior temperature rises significantly (e.g., due to power failure). Check food condition.

WARNING! Do not store explosive substances, bottled carbonated drinks, or glass containers with liquids that may freeze and burst.

Energy Saving Features

NoFrost technology reduces energy consumption by eliminating manual defrosting. Ensure door seals are clean and tight. Do not set thermostat colder than necessary. Allow hot food to cool before freezing. Keep the freezer well-ventilated (clearances).

1. Exterior: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
2. Interior: Remove baskets and shelves. Clean with solution of warm water and baking soda. Rinse and dry.
3. Door seals: Clean gently with water and soft cloth to maintain seal.
4. Condenser (rear): Vacuum dust from the rear grille every 6-12 months to maintain efficiency.

CAUTION! Do not use steam cleaners. Never pour water inside or over the appliance.
