  4. Door reversal (if needed): Follow instructions in manual to change door hinge side.
  5. Initial rest: Let unit stand upright for at least 4 hours before first power-on.

WARNING! Do not tilt beyond 45 degrees to avoid compressor damage. Use two people for moving.

First-Time Setup

After installation rest period, power on the freezer.

  1. Initial cooling: Set temperature to -18°C (-0.4°F) or colder using control panel.
  2. Super freeze: Activate super freeze function for 24 hours before loading food for optimal performance.

Storage Organization

Optimize freezing performance and organization.

  1. Pre-freeze food: Cool cooked food before placing in freezer.
  2. Package properly: Use airtight containers or freezer bags to prevent freezer burn.
  3. Label and date: Mark packages with contents and date.
  4. Load evenly: Distribute items across shelves for optimal air circulation.
  5. Use drawers: Store smaller items in drawers; larger items on shelves.
  6. Maximum capacity: Do not exceed recommended load; leave space between items.

Tip: Place newer items behind older ones to use food in chronological order (FIFO).

NoFrost Technology

Automatic system prevents ice formation.

  1. How it works: A fan circulates cold air; moisture is collected on a hidden evaporator and periodically evaporated.
  2. Benefits: No need for manual defrosting; consistent temperature; better food preservation.
  3. Maintenance: Ensure air vents inside are not blocked by food packages.
  4. Indicator: No special indicator; system operates automatically in cycles.

Note: A thin layer of frost may appear temporarily after loading unfrozen food; this will clear automatically.

Energy Saving Tips

Reduce power consumption.

Care & Cleaning

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

  1. Interior: Wipe with soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water. Rinse with clean water cloth and dry.
  2. Exterior: Clean door and control panel with damp cloth; dry thoroughly.
  3. Door seals: Clean gently to maintain elasticity; check for debris.
  4. Condenser (rear): Vacuum dust from grille periodically to maintain efficiency.
  5. Defrost drain (if accessible): Check and clear if necessary (normally not needed with NoFrost).

CAUTION! Do not use steam cleaners, and never pour water into or over the appliance.
