3. Electrical connection: Plug into grounded 120V AC outlet; avoid using extension cords.
4. Door reversal (if needed): Follow instructions in manual to change door hinge side.

WARNING! Do not place near ovens, radiators, or in direct sunlight. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent overheating.

First-Time Setup

After installation, allow unit to stabilize before loading food.

1. Initial cooling: Turn on and set to recommended temperature (-18°C / 0°F). Let run empty for 2-3 hours.
2. Temperature setting: Use control panel to adjust to desired setting.
3. Load food: Place items evenly, avoiding overpacking to ensure proper air circulation.
4. Fast freeze: Activate Fast Freeze function when adding large quantities of unfrozen food.

CAUTION! Do not load food until unit has reached stable temperature. Keep door closed as much as possible during initial cooling.

Storage Guidelines

For optimal performance and food preservation.

1. Organization: Store similar items together; use baskets for small items.
2. Air circulation: Do not block air vents; leave space between items.
3. Pre-freezing: Cool hot foods before placing in freezer.
4. Packaging: Use airtight containers or freezer bags to prevent freezer burn.
5. Labeling: Date all items; follow recommended storage times.
6. Loading order: Place frequently used items in front for easy access.

Tip: Maximum storage capacity is 25 kg (55 lbs) distributed evenly across shelves.

NoFrost Technology

Automatic defrosting system eliminates manual defrosting.

1. How it works: Circulates cold air to prevent moisture buildup and ice formation.
2. Benefits: Consistent temperature, no ice scraping needed, better food preservation.
3. Maintenance: Ensure air vents are not blocked; clean condenser coil annually.
4. Indicator: No special indicators; operates automatically in background.

Note: Slight humming during defrost cycle is normal. Energy use may briefly increase during cycle.

Energy Saving Tips

Reduce electricity consumption while maintaining performance.

• Set temperature to -18°C (0°F); lower settings increase energy use.
• Keep door closed as much as possible; check seal regularly.
• Allow hot foods to cool before freezing.
• Defrost frozen items in refrigerator, not at room temperature.
• Ensure adequate ventilation around unit.
• Clean condenser coils every 6-12 months.
• Use Fast Freeze function only when necessary.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug before cleaning. Use mild detergent and soft cloth.

1. Interior: Remove all food. Wipe with solution of warm water and baking soda (2 tbsp per quart).
2. Exterior: Clean with damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
3. Door seal: Wipe clean; check for damage or debris that might prevent sealing.
4. Condenser coil: Vacuum dust from rear or bottom grill every 6-12 months.
5. Shelves/baskets: Remove and wash with mild detergent; dry thoroughly before replacing.

CAUTION! Never use sharp objects to remove ice (not needed with NoFrost). Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners.
