Do not block air vents inside the cabinet.
Allow hot food to cool to room temperature before freezing.

Tip: Pre-freeze items like berries on a tray before bagging to prevent clumping.

Energy Saving Tips

Set temperature to recommended -18°C (0°F).
Ensure door seals are clean and tight.
Minimize door opening frequency and duration.
Allow adequate ventilation space around the unit.
Use Super Freeze function only when necessary.
Defrost (if manual intervention needed) when frost layer exceeds 1/4 inch.

Note: NoFrost system handles most frost automatically; manual defrost is rarely needed.
