4. Pre-freeze: Spread items out initially to freeze faster, then stack.
5. Use baskets: For smaller items like berries, ice packs.

Tip: Keep an inventory list on the door to track contents and reduce door opening time.

Frost Free Operation

Automatic defrosting system eliminates manual defrosting.

1. How it works: Fan circulates air; heating elements periodically melt frost on evaporator.
2. Water drainage: Melted water evaporates automatically; no drip tray to empty.
3. Maintenance: Ensure air vents inside are not blocked by food packages.
4. Noise: Occasional humming or dripping sounds during defrost cycle are normal.

WARNING! Do not attempt to manually defrost or scrape ice as Frost Free system handles it automatically.

Energy Saving Tips

Maximize efficiency to reduce electricity consumption.

• Set thermostat to -18°C; colder settings increase energy use.
• Keep door closed; minimize opening time and frequency.
• Ensure door seals are clean and tight.
• Place freezer away from heat sources (oven, radiator, sunlight).
• Allow hot food to cool before freezing.
• Keep freezer at least ¾ full for optimal efficiency (use water bottles if needed).

Care & Cleaning

Unplug before cleaning. Clean every 3-6 months.

1. Exterior: Wipe with soft damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
2. Interior: Remove all food. Clean with solution of warm water and baking soda (2 tbsp per litre).
3. Shelves and drawers: Wash with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry completely.
4. Door seals: Clean with water and soft brush to remove debris.
5. Condenser coils (rear): Vacuum dust every 6-12 months to maintain efficiency.
