Defrosting

This model requires manual defrosting. Defrost when ice buildup reaches approximately 5mm thickness.

1. Turn the thermostat dial to "0" or "OFF" and unplug the appliance.
2. Remove all food, placing it in a cool box or another freezer.
3. Place towels or a shallow pan at the bottom to collect melting water.
3. Leave the door open to allow ice to melt naturally. Do not use sharp objects or heaters to speed up the process.
4. Once defrosted, clean the interior (see Care & Cleaning).
5. Plug in the appliance, set the thermostat, and allow it to reach temperature before reloading food.

WARNING! Never use metal tools or electrical heaters to remove ice as this can damage the cooling system and create safety hazards.

Care & Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures hygiene and efficiency.

1. Unplug the appliance before any cleaning.
2. Use a soft cloth dampened with a solution of warm water and mild detergent to clean the interior and exterior surfaces.
3. Clean door seals gently to remove food residue and ensure a proper seal.
4. Dry all surfaces thoroughly before plugging the appliance back in.
5. Clean the condenser coil (located at the back) with a brush or vacuum cleaner at least once a year to maintain efficiency.

CAUTION! Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or scouring pads. Never pour water directly over or inside the appliance.

Energy Saving Tips

• Ensure the door seal is clean and intact.
• Allow hot food to cool to room temperature before freezing.
• Defrost regularly to prevent excessive ice buildup.
• Position the freezer away from heat sources and in a cool, well-ventilated area.
• Avoid opening the door frequently or leaving it open for extended periods.
• Ensure the freezer is not overloaded, allowing air to circulate freely.
