Keep raw and cooked foods separated.

Tip: For best results, freeze food in portions and avoid placing warm food directly inside.

NoFrost Technology

Automatic system prevents ice formation.

How it works: Cold air circulates evenly; moisture is carried outside.

Maintenance: Ensure air vents inside are not blocked by food.

Note: A thin layer of frost may appear temporarily during high humidity; this is normal.

Energy Saving Tips

Set temperature to -18°C; lower settings increase energy use.
Keep door closed as much as possible.
Ensure door seals are clean and intact.
Place away from ovens, radiators, and sunlight.
Allow hot food to cool before freezing.
