Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, follow these guidelines:
- Placement: Place the unit on a flat, level surface. Utilize the adjustable feet to prevent rocking or vibration.
- Ventilation: Leave at least 10cm of clearance on all sides to allow for proper airflow and heat dissipation.
- Initial Startup: After moving or delivery, allow the unit to stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
- Cleaning: Defrost the freezer manually when ice buildup reaches 5-10mm. Use a plastic scraper—never use metal tools as they can puncture the lining. Wipe the interior with a mild detergent and dry thoroughly.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the door seal for debris; a clean seal ensures the freezer remains energy efficient.
