FAQs
What does 'Total No Frost' mean?
Total No Frost technology prevents the formation of ice crystals inside the freezer. This means you will not have to manually defrost the appliance, saving you time and effort, and ensuring more consistent cooling.
How do I reverse the door on this freezer?
The doors are reversible for installation flexibility. Please refer to the user manual for detailed, step-by-step instructions, as it involves unscrewing hinges and reattaching the door to the opposite side.
What is the 'Fast Freeze' function for?
The Fast Freeze function rapidly lowers the temperature in the freezer. It's ideal for quickly freezing newly added food items, which helps to preserve their flavour, texture, and nutritional value. It also prevents the temperature of already frozen items from rising.
What is the annual energy consumption?
The annual energy consumption is rated at 236 kWh, contributing to its 'E' energy efficiency class.
What is the operating temperature range?
The freezer operates within a temperature range of -18 to -10 °C.
How long will food stay frozen if the power goes out?
The freezer can store food for up to 10 hours during a power failure, assuming the door remains closed.
Can I adjust the shelves inside the freezer?
Yes, the freezer features adjustable shelves, allowing you to customize the interior space to accommodate items of different sizes.
Troubleshooting
Freezer not cooling sufficiently
Check if the temperature is set correctly, ensure the door is closing properly, and verify that the condenser coils are clean and free from dust. Also, check if the 'Fast Freeze' function is active and if the freezer has been recently overloaded with warm food.
Excessive frost build-up (despite No Frost)
Ensure the door is not left ajar for extended periods and that the door seals are intact and clean. If the issue persists, there might be a fault with the No Frost system, and service may be required.
Unusual noises
Some operational noises are normal (e.g., compressor running, fan circulating air). However, if you hear loud buzzing, rattling, or grinding, check that the freezer is level and not touching surrounding cabinets. If noise persists, contact customer support.
Door won't close properly
Ensure the freezer is level. Check for any obstructions inside or outside the freezer that prevent the door from closing. Inspect the door seals for damage or debris.
Interior light not working
Check if the light bulb needs replacing or if it's loose. Ensure the freezer is plugged in and receiving power. If the issue persists after checking the bulb, the light fixture or wiring may need attention.
