Setup, Compatibility & Care
Placement: Place the freezer on a level surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and damp environments. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.

Cleaning: Clean the interior regularly with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners. The exterior can be wiped down with a soft cloth.
