How do I defrost the freezer?

What should I do if the door won't close?
Check for items blocking the door. Ensure the freezer is level, and the door seals are clean and undamaged.
How often should I clean the freezer?
Clean the interior every few months, or when needed. Clean the exterior regularly.
What is the Fast Freeze function?
The Fast Freeze function quickly lowers the freezer's temperature to rapidly freeze fresh food, preserving its texture and nutrients.
What is the storage time during a power failure?
The freezer can keep food frozen for up to 24 hours during a power outage, provided the door remains closed.
What is the warranty period?
The product includes a 10-year parts warranty and 1 year for labour.
Troubleshooting
Freezer not cooling.
Check the power supply. Ensure the freezer is plugged in and the outlet is working. Verify the temperature settings. Check for any obstructions to the vents inside the freezer.
Excessive ice build-up.
This is unlikely due to No Frost, but check the door seals for any gaps. Ensure the door closes properly. If the issue persists, the freezer may need professional servicing.
Freezer is noisy.
Ensure the freezer is level. Some noises are normal; however, excessive noise could indicate a problem with the compressor. Contact customer support.
Door open alarm sounds continuously.
Check if the door is fully closed. Ensure nothing is obstructing the door. If the problem persists, the sensor may be faulty, and you should contact customer service.
The interior light is not working.
Check the light bulb and replace it if necessary (refer to the manual for the correct type). If the light still does not work, contact customer service.
