Yes, the doors are reversible, allowing you to choose which side the door opens from to best suit your kitchen layout.

This freezer has a 4-star rating, which indicates it can safely store food at -18 °C and below.

Troubleshooting
Freezer not cooling sufficiently
Ensure the door is fully closed and the seal is intact. Check that the thermostat is set to a colder setting. Verify that the condenser coils are clean and free of dust. Do not overload the freezer.
Excessive frost build-up (despite 'No Frost')
Ensure the door is not being left open for extended periods. Check for obstructions blocking the air vents inside the freezer. If the problem persists, contact customer support.
Freezer is making unusual noises
Some operational noises like humming or clicking are normal. If the noise is loud or vibrating, check that the freezer is level using the adjustable feet and that it is not touching walls or other appliances.
Freezer not turning on
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into the outlet. Test the outlet with another appliance to ensure it is working. Check your home's circuit breaker.
Temperature alarm is active
This indicates the internal temperature has risen above the safe level. Ensure the door is closed properly and not blocked. Allow time for the freezer to cool down after loading new food or if the door was open. If the alarm persists, check for other troubleshooting steps related to cooling.
