3. Fast Freeze: Use this function when adding a large quantity (more than 1 kg) of unfrozen food.
4. Defrosting: This model features auto-defrost (No-Frost). No manual defrosting is required.
5. Ice Making: Fill the provided ice tray with water and place it in the freezer compartment.

Tip: Label and date all stored items. Use the "first in, first out" principle.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Unplug the freezer before any cleaning or maintenance.

1. Exterior: Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
2. Interior: Remove all food. Clean shelves and interior surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry completely.
3. Door Seals: Wipe clean with water only to maintain elasticity. Check seals periodically for damage.
4. Condenser Coils (rear): Vacuum the dust from the rear grille at least once a year to maintain efficiency.
5. Defrost Water Drain (if applicable): Ensure it is not blocked.

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