Verify operation: Control panel should illuminate; compressor may start after short delay.

Tip: For long absences, empty and clean freezer, then disconnect from power. Leave door slightly ajar to prevent odors.

Using the Freezer

Optimal use for food preservation.

Preparing food: Cool cooked food to room temperature before freezing. Package in airtight containers or freezer bags.
Loading: Do not overload; leave space between items for air circulation. Place newer items at bottom/back.
SuperFreeze: Activate 2-3 hours before adding large quantity of unfrozen food.
Defrosting: No manual defrosting needed with NoFrost system.
Ice production: Use ice cube trays provided; empty regularly to prevent sticking.
Storage times: Follow recommended storage durations for different food types (see included guide).
Power failure: Keep door closed; food will remain frozen for approximately 24 hours if freezer was full.

WARNING! Do not store explosive substances, bottled carbonated drinks, or glass containers with liquids that may freeze and burst. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet hands.

Energy Saving Tips

Ensure door seals are clean and intact. Avoid frequent or prolonged door opening. Allow hot food to cool before freezing. Ensure adequate ventilation around appliance. Set temperature to -18°C unless specific needs require lower. Regularly defrost if ice exceeds 5mm thickness (though NoFrost minimizes this). Position away from heat sources like ovens or radiators.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug before cleaning. Use mild detergent and warm water solution; never use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or scouring pads.

Exterior: Clean with soft damp cloth; dry thoroughly.
Interior: Remove shelves and drawers; wash with soapy water, rinse, dry completely.
Door seals: Wipe carefully with clean water; check for damage or food particles.
Condenser: Vacuum dust from rear grille every 6-12 months to maintain efficiency.
Long storage: Empty, clean, dry, leave door slightly open to prevent mold.

CAUTION! Never use steam cleaners, hot water, or sharp objects for cleaning. Do not pour water directly on appliance.
