Excessive frost build-up

Perform a manual defrost. Ensure the door is not left open for extended periods and that hot food is allowed to cool before being placed inside.

Some operational noises, like humming or gurgling, are normal. If the noise is loud or persistent, ensure the freezer is level and not touching surrounding surfaces. Check for any obstructions.

Interior light not working

Check if the freezer is powered on. The bulb may need replacing. Contact customer support if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Position the freezer in its desired location, ensuring adequate ventilation around the sides and back.
Allow the freezer to stand upright for at least 4-6 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.

Set the adjustable thermostat to your desired temperature. Allow several hours for the freezer to reach the target temperature before loading it with food.

Care:

Manual Defrost: Periodically defrost the freezer when ice build-up reaches approximately 5-10mm. Unplug the unit, remove food (storing it in cool boxes or other freezers), and leave the lid open. Use the provided drain plug or a cloth to remove meltwater. Never use sharp objects to chip away ice.
Cleaning: After defrosting, clean the interior with a mild detergent and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. The exterior can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
