5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning the Freezer
Always unplug the freezer before cleaning. Clean the interior and exterior surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, sharp objects, or solvents. The anti-bacterial and anti-mildew door seal should be wiped clean to ensure optimal performance and hygiene.

This freezer is not frost-free and will accumulate frost over time. Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches approximately 5mm thickness. To defrost:
- Unplug the freezer from the power outlet.
- Remove all food items and store them in another freezer or cooler.
- Leave the freezer door open to allow the frost to melt naturally. Place towels or a shallow pan at the bottom to collect water.
- Once defrosted, wipe the interior dry with a clean cloth.
- Plug the freezer back in and allow it to reach the desired temperature before returning food items.
Do not use sharp objects or heating devices to remove frost, as this can damage the cooling system.
