Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure you have a flat, level surface with dimensions of 84.5cm(H) x 112cm(W) x 70cm(D). Although the unit features castor feet for mobility, ensure the freezer is securely positioned before filling it. For the first time, allow the unit to sit for several hours after transport before plugging it in to allow the coolant to settle. To maintain the appliance, periodically remove ice buildup manually using the front drain hole. Avoid using sharp metal tools to scrape ice, as this can damage the internal lining.
