Troubleshooting

Freezer not cooling

Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure the temperature control is set correctly. Verify that the door is closing properly and the seals are intact. Make sure ventilation around the unit is not blocked.

Excessive frost build-up

This indicates the need for manual defrosting. Follow the defrosting instructions in the 'Care' section. Ensure the door is not left open frequently and that warm, moist air is not trapped inside.

Unusual noise

Some operational noise is normal. However, if the noise is loud or persistent, check that the freezer is level on the floor and that nothing is touching the back of the unit.

Freezer smells unpleasant

Clean the interior thoroughly with a mild detergent and water. Ensure all food items are properly wrapped and sealed. Leaving the door open for a while with the unit unplugged and clean can also help dissipate odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the freezer is placed on a level surface using the adjustable feet for stability.
  2. Allow at least 10 cm of space around the back and sides for adequate ventilation.
  3. Connect the power cord to a suitable electrical outlet.
  4. Allow the freezer to run empty for several hours to reach the desired temperature before loading food.

Compatibility:

  • Climate Class: SN/T/ST/N (Operates in ambient temperatures from 10°C to 43°C).

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Ensure the freezer is switched off and unplugged before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth.
  • Defrosting: This is a manual defrost model. When ice build-up reaches approximately 1cm thick, unplug the freezer and remove all food. Allow the ice to melt naturally or use a plastic scraper carefully. Wipe away water and dry thoroughly before restarting.
  • Ventilation: Keep the ventilation areas clear of obstructions.
