3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, including tape and protective films. Inspect the freezer for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your retailer immediately.
3.2 Placement
Place the freezer on a firm, level floor. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for proper ventilation (at least 10 cm on sides and back). Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources. The integrated castor wheels allow for easy movement and positioning.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Initial Startup
After plugging in the freezer, allow it to run empty for at least 2-4 hours to reach its optimal operating temperature (below -18°C) before loading with food items.
4.2 Temperature Control
The freezer is equipped with a temperature control knob, typically located on the exterior. Turn the knob to adjust the internal temperature. For most frozen foods, a setting that maintains temperatures below -18°C is recommended. Refer to the specific markings on your unit for precise adjustments.
4.3 Loading the Freezer
The 320-liter capacity and double-door top-opening design allow for easy organization. Distribute food evenly to allow for proper air circulation. Avoid overloading the freezer, as this can hinder efficient freezing.

5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
Regularly clean the interior and exterior of the freezer. Unplug the unit before cleaning. Use a soft cloth with mild detergent and warm water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects. Ensure the interior is completely dry before plugging the unit back in.
5.2 Defrosting
The freezer will accumulate frost over time. When the frost layer becomes about 0.5 cm thick, it's time to defrost. Unplug the unit, remove all food, and open the lids. The defrost drain allows for hassle-free water removal. Place a tray or towel beneath the drain to collect water. Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior before restarting.
5.3 Power Outage
In case of a power outage, keep the freezer lids closed to maintain the internal temperature for as long as possible. The insulation will help keep food frozen for several hours.
