After installation, allow freezer to stabilize before loading food.

  1. Initial cooling: Turn on freezer and set to recommended temperature (-18°C / 0°F).
  2. Wait for stabilization: Let run empty for 2-3 hours to reach set temperature.
  3. Set temperature: Use digital panel to adjust as needed.
  4. Load food: Place items evenly, avoiding blocking air vents.
  5. Activate Super freeze: Use before adding large quantities of unfrozen food.

CAUTION! Do not load food until temperature indicator shows stable freezing temperature.

Energy Saving Tips

Maximize efficiency to reduce power consumption.

  1. Set optimal temperature: -18°C (0°F) is sufficient for long-term storage.
  2. Keep door closed: Minimize opening duration and frequency.
  3. Ensure seals are tight: Check door gaskets regularly for leaks.
  4. Allow hot food to cool: Never place warm food directly in freezer.
  5. Maintain ventilation: Keep rear grille and sides clear of dust and obstructions.
  6. Defrost manually if needed: Although NoFrost, clean interior periodically.
  7. Load fully but not overfilled: A well-stocked freezer operates more efficiently.

Note: Using Super freeze increases energy use; activate only when necessary.

Maintenance & Defrosting

NoFrost system eliminates need for manual defrosting. Regular cleaning is required.

  1. Unplug freezer before cleaning.
  2. Interior cleaning: Remove all food; wipe with solution of mild detergent and warm water.
