FAQs
How do I reverse the door on my freezer?
The freezer features a reversible door. You will need to carefully follow the instructions provided in your user manual for the specific steps to safely detach and reattach the door on the opposite side. This typically involves removing hinge pins and re-installing them.
How often should I defrost the freezer?
As this model likely requires manual defrosting, you should defrost it when the layer of ice on the interior walls reaches approximately 5-6 mm in thickness. Regular defrosting ensures optimal energy efficiency and cooling performance.
What does 'Energy Efficiency Class E' mean?
Energy Efficiency Class E indicates that the freezer operates with a good level of energy efficiency, helping to minimize electricity consumption compared to less efficient models. While not the highest rating available on the market, it represents a conscious effort to save energy.
Can I place this freezer under a counter?
This is a freestanding upright freezer and is designed to stand on its own. While its compact size might seem suitable for under-counter placement, it requires adequate ventilation space around its sides and back to operate efficiently and prevent overheating. We recommend consulting the user manual for specific clearance requirements, but generally, it's not designed to be built-in.
How many cooling modes does the mechanical thermostat have?
The mechanical thermostat on this freezer offers three adjustable cooling modes, allowing you to select the appropriate temperature setting for your needs.
What are the exact dimensions of the freezer?

Troubleshooting
Freezer is not cooling or not cold enough.
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Verify the thermostat setting; ensure it's not set to 'Off' or the lowest setting. Check if the door is fully closed and the seal is intact. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.
Freezer is making excessive noise.
Ensure the freezer is level by adjusting the adjustable front feet. Check if any objects inside or outside the freezer are vibrating against the unit. Ensure the freezer is not touching a wall or other appliances.
Excessive ice build-up inside.
This usually indicates the door is not sealing properly, allowing warm air to enter. Check the door gasket for damage or obstructions. If the door seal is fine, it's time for a manual defrost. Ensure the door is not left open for extended periods.
Door won't close properly.
Check if the freezer is level; an unlevel unit can cause door misalignment. Ensure there are no food items or packaging obstructing the door. Inspect the door gasket for any damage or stickiness.
Unpleasant odor inside the freezer.
Clean the interior thoroughly with a mild cleaning solution. Store food in airtight containers to prevent odors from spreading. Consider placing an open box of baking soda inside to absorb persistent odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Living and Home freezer, follow these guidelines.
Setup Instructions
- Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and internal protective elements.
- Placement: Choose a level, well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and dampness. Allow adequate space around the unit for air circulation (at least 10 cm from walls).
- Leveling: Adjust the adjustable front feet to ensure the freezer is perfectly level. This prevents excessive noise and ensures the door seals correctly.
- Door Reversal (Optional): If desired, reverse the door opening direction. Consult the specific instructions in your user manual for a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to safely perform this operation.
- Initial Power-On: Plug the freezer into a dedicated, properly grounded electrical outlet. Allow the unit to stand for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerant fluids to settle.
- Temperature Setting: Set the mechanical thermostat to your desired cooling level. It's recommended to start at a medium setting and adjust as needed.
- Pre-Cooling: Allow the freezer to cool down for several hours (ideally 4-6 hours) before placing food inside.
Compatibility
This is a freestanding upright freezer, meaning it is designed to stand independently and should not be built into cabinetry without proper ventilation considerations. Its compact size and reversible door make it compatible with a wide range of small spaces.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the interior regularly with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
- Defrosting: As this model likely requires manual defrosting, monitor ice build-up. Defrost the freezer when the ice layer reaches about 5-6 mm thick to maintain efficiency. Refer to your manual for the safest defrosting procedure.
- Door Seal Check: Periodically inspect the door gasket for cracks or damage. A tight seal is crucial for energy efficiency and proper cooling. Clean the gasket regularly to remove food debris.
- Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation grilles at the back or sides are not blocked, as proper airflow is essential for the compressor's performance and longevity.
