FAQs
How often do I need to defrost this freezer?
Thanks to the Low Frost system, you will need to defrost it significantly less often than a standard freezer. Typically, manual defrosting might only be required once a year, depending on usage and ambient conditions.
What is the 'Power Failure Safe' feature?
This feature ensures that your food remains frozen for up to 12 hours in the event of a power outage, helping to prevent spoilage.
Can this freezer be placed under a counter?
No, this is a freestanding upright freezer and requires adequate ventilation space around it. It is not designed for built-in installation.
What is the star rating, and what does it mean?
The 4-star rating indicates that this freezer is suitable for storing food for extended periods, often up to 12 months, at temperatures of -18°C or lower.
How do I adjust the temperature?
The temperature is controlled by a rotary thermostat located inside the freezer. Turn the dial to a higher number for colder temperatures and a lower number for warmer temperatures.
Can the freezer door be opened from the left side?
Yes, the door hinges are reversible, allowing you to change the direction of the door opening to suit your kitchen layout.
What is the annual energy consumption?
The estimated annual energy consumption is 191 kWh.
Troubleshooting
Freezer not cooling sufficiently
Check if the thermostat is set correctly. Ensure the door is closing properly and not left ajar. Verify that ventilation openings are not blocked. Avoid overloading the freezer.
Excessive ice build-up
The Low Frost system helps, but frequent door openings or storing warm food can increase ice. Ensure the door seals are clean and intact. Defrost the unit if ice thickness exceeds 5mm.
Freezer is making unusual noises
Some operational noises are normal (e.g., compressor hum, refrigerant flow). Check if the freezer is level. If noises are loud or persistent, contact customer support.
Water leaking from the freezer
Ensure the defrost drain is not blocked. Check that the freezer is level, as an incline can cause water to pool. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the freezer is placed on a level surface, away from direct sunlight or heat sources like ovens or radiators.
- Allow at least 5 cm of space around the back and sides for ventilation.
- Connect the power cord to a grounded electrical outlet.
- Allow the freezer to run for at least 2-3 hours to reach the optimal temperature before loading food.
Compatibility:
- This is a freestanding appliance and cannot be built-in.
- The reversible doors allow for left or right-hand opening, adaptable to your kitchen layout.
- Ensure your electrical outlet is compatible with the freezer's power requirements.
Care:
- Cleaning: For optimal performance, clean the interior regularly. Unplug the appliance, remove all food, and use a mild detergent with a damp cloth. Wipe dry thoroughly.
- Defrosting: The Low Frost System reduces ice build-up, but manual defrosting will eventually be necessary. Unplug the appliance, open the doors, and place towels to absorb melting ice. Never use sharp objects to chip away ice. Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior before switching it back on.
- Ventilation: Keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
