Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: Ensure the freezer is placed on a flat, stable surface. Allow for adequate ventilation space around the sides and rear of the unit to ensure the Inverter Compressor can function efficiently.
Levelling: Adjust the feet at the bottom of the unit to ensure the freezer is level, which will help the door seal correctly and prevent excess noise.
Powering Up: After transport, wait at least 4-6 hours before plugging the appliance in to allow the coolant gas to settle.
Cleaning: While the No Frost system prevents interior ice build-up, you should periodically wipe the interior shelves and exterior cabinet with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Reversing the Door: If needed, consult the included instruction manual for the specific steps to move the hinge hardware to the opposite side to suit your room layout.
