4. Allow hot food to cool: Never place warm food directly in freezer.
5. Ensure proper ventilation: Keep vents clear and maintain clearance around appliance.
6. Defrost manually if needed: Although NoFrost, check occasionally for minor ice buildup.

WARNING! Do not block interior air vents with food items.

Maintenance & Defrosting

2. Cleaning exterior: Use soft cloth with mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
3. Door seals: Wipe gaskets regularly to ensure proper seal.
