Setup, Compatibility & Care
When positioning your freezer, ensure there is adequate ventilation space around the sides to allow for efficient heat dissipation. Since the unit comes with a 1.8m power cord, it offers reasonable flexibility for placement near an outlet. Before first use, it is recommended to let the unit stand for several hours to allow the coolant to settle. For daily care, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Periodic manual defrosting is necessary to prevent ice buildup, which can impact performance; always empty the freezer and allow ice to melt naturally—avoid using sharp objects to scrape ice as this can damage the internal lining.
