Users can expect consistent freezing performance, maintaining food quality over time. The low noise level means it can comfortably sit in an open-plan living area or bedroom without being a disturbance, while its energy efficiency contributes to lower utility bills over its lifetime.
Unpack: Carefully remove the freezer from its packaging. Ensure all packing materials are discarded responsibly.
Placement: Choose a level, stable surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources (like ovens or radiators) to ensure optimal performance. Leave adequate space around the unit for ventilation.
Door Reversal (Optional): If you need to change the door's opening direction to suit your space, refer to the detailed instructions in the user manual. This typically involves unscrewing hinges, flipping the door, and reattaching the hinges on the opposite side.
Initial Power-Up: Plug the freezer into a grounded power outlet. Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in to let the refrigerant settle. Once plugged in, let it run empty for a few hours to reach optimal freezing temperature before loading food.
Space: Designed for countertop placement or under-table use, fitting into tight spaces (H51 x W44 x D47cm).
Environment: Suitable for indoor use in dry, temperate environments. Ideal for kitchens, utility rooms, dorms, or small offices.
Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Ensure the freezer is unplugged before cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Defrosting: As a manual defrost unit, you will need to periodically defrost the freezer to remove ice buildup. Excessive ice can reduce efficiency. Unplug the unit, remove contents, allow ice to melt naturally (using towels to absorb water), then clean and dry thoroughly before restarting.
Door Seal: Periodically check the door seal for any signs of damage or gaps. A good seal is crucial for maintaining internal temperature and energy efficiency.
Ventilation: Ensure the vents at the back of the unit are clear and not obstructed, allowing for proper airflow and heat dissipation.
Power Cord: Inspect the power cord regularly for any damage. Do not use if the cord is frayed or damaged.
