  2. Water drainage: Melted frost water evaporates automatically.
  3. Benefits: Consistent temperature, no ice buildup, better food preservation.
  4. Maintenance: Ensure air vents are not blocked by food items.

Note: Slight humming during defrost cycle is normal.

Energy Saving Tips

Maximize efficiency to reduce electricity consumption.
