Troubleshooting
The appliance is making a louder than normal noise
Ensure the freezer is sitting perfectly level on the floor. Vibrations can occur if the feet are not adjusted correctly.
Excessive frost build-up
Check that the lid is closing tightly and the seal is not damaged. High humidity in the room can also increase frost accumulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Positioning: Place the freezer on a level, solid surface. Use the integrated castor wheels to maneuver the unit into place, then ensure it is stable.
- Ventilation: Leave at least 10cm of space around the sides and back to allow for proper airflow, which is critical for the compressor's longevity.
- Initial Power-On: Let the appliance stand upright for at least 4–6 hours before plugging it in to allow the coolant to settle.
- Cleaning: As this unit is not frost-free, you must manually defrost it periodically. To do this, turn the thermostat to 'off,' remove all food, and allow the ice to melt. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild detergent to wipe down the interior.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the door seal for debris. A clean seal ensures the freezer stays airtight and maintains its temperature efficiency.
