Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the unit is placed on a level, solid surface using the integrated castors. Allow adequate ventilation space around the sides and back to ensure the compressor can breathe, especially given its 750W power draw. Connect the unit to a dedicated 230V power supply.
Compatibility: This unit is purpose-built for 600 x 400mm bakery and patisserie trays. Please ensure you have sufficient tray stock as they are not included with the freezer.
Care: Clean the stainless steel exterior with food-safe stainless steel cleaner. Regularly clear dust from the condenser coils to prevent the motor from overworking. Since this model features manual defrosting, check the interior regularly; if frost thickness exceeds 5mm, turn off the unit, remove the contents, and allow the ice to melt naturally. Never use sharp metal tools to chip away ice as this can damage the internal lining.
