2.3 Leveling

Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the appliance to ensure it stands stable and level. This prevents vibrations and ensures proper door sealing.

2.4 Electrical Connection

Connect the appliance to a grounded power outlet. Ensure the voltage (230 Volts) matches your household supply. Do not use extension cords or multiple adapters.

2.5 Initial Operation

After connecting to power, allow the freezer to stand for at least 4 hours before loading it with food. This allows the refrigerant to settle. The appliance will begin to cool down to the set temperature.

Always unplug the freezer before cleaning. Clean the interior and exterior surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. The No Frost feature eliminates the need for manual defrosting, but regular cleaning of surfaces is still recommended.

4.2 Door Seal Care

Periodically check and clean the door seals to ensure they are free from food particles and remain flexible. A clean, tight seal helps maintain optimal temperature and energy efficiency.
