4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

Regular cleaning is crucial for hygiene and optimal performance. Always disconnect the freezer from the power supply before cleaning.

• Interior: Clean the interior surfaces, including shelves and walls, with a mild, food-safe detergent and warm water. The rounded inner corners and pressed inserts facilitate easy cleaning. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to prevent ice buildup.
• Exterior: Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a damp cloth and a mild cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
• Door Seals: Regularly inspect and clean the door seals to ensure they are free from food debris and remain flexible. Damaged or dirty seals can lead to air leaks and increased energy consumption.

4.2 Defrosting

The freezer features an automatic defrost function. During the defrost cycle, ice accumulated on the evaporator is melted, and the water drains into an internal water drain. Ensure this drain remains clear to prevent water accumulation inside the compartment. If excessive ice buildup occurs despite automatic defrost, manually defrost the unit by emptying it, turning it off, and leaving the door open until all ice has melted. Clean and dry the interior before restarting.

4.3 Monoblock Cooling System

The monoblock cooling system is designed for easy maintenance. For any technical issues or deeper cleaning of the cooling components, it is recommended to contact a qualified service technician.

5. Troubleshooting

Before contacting service, check the following common issues:

• Freezer not cooling: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in. Check the circuit breaker. Verify the temperature setting on the digital display. Ensure the door is fully closed and not left open for extended periods.
• Excessive ice buildup: Check if the door seal is intact and clean. Ensure the automatic defrost function is operating correctly. Avoid frequently opening the door.
• Condensation on door frame: The unit has a heated door frame to prevent condensation. If condensation occurs, ensure the ambient humidity is not excessively high and the door seal is functioning correctly.
• Unusual noises: Some operational noises are normal (e.g., compressor running, refrigerant flow). If you hear loud or unusual noises, ensure the unit is level and not touching any walls or objects.

If problems persist after checking these points, contact a qualified service technician.
