Desembalaje:

1. Retire con cuidado todos los materiales de embalaje, incluido el embalaje interno y las películas protectoras.
2. Inspect the freezer for any signs of damage. If damaged, do not plug it in and contact your retailer.

Colocación:

• Choose a location with a firm, level floor that can support the weight of the freezer when full.
• Ensure there is adequate space around the freezer for proper ventilation. A minimum of 10cm (4 inches) clearance on the sides and back is recommended.
• Avoid placing the freezer in direct sunlight or near heat-emitting appliances like ovens, radiators, or cookers.
• The freezer is suitable for use in outbuildings and garages, provided the ambient temperature remains within its operational range.

Nivelación del aparato:

The freezer is equipped with adjustable feet. Use a spirit level to ensure the appliance is perfectly level. Adjust the feet by turning them clockwise or anti-clockwise until the freezer is stable and level. This helps ensure efficient operation and proper door sealing.

After positioning and leveling the freezer, wait at least 2-4 hours before plugging it into the power outlet. This allows the refrigerant fluids to settle, preventing potential damage to the cooling system.

Once plugged in, the power indicator light (usually green) will illuminate, indicating the unit is receiving power. Allow the freezer to run empty for 24 hours to reach its optimal operating temperature before loading it with food.

Limpieza del exterior:

Antihielo:

Over time, frost will accumulate on the interior walls of the freezer. Excessive frost buildup reduces efficiency and storage capacity. Defrost the freezer when the frost layer is about 5-10mm (0.2-0.4 inches) thick.

1. Desconecte el congelador de la toma de corriente.
2. Remove all food items and place them in a cooler or another freezer.
3. Open the lid and place towels or a shallow pan at the bottom to collect melting ice. The freezer has a drain plug at the bottom for easier water removal.
4. Allow the frost to melt naturally. You can speed up the process by placing bowls of hot water inside the freezer (do not use sharp objects to chip away ice).
5. Una vez descongelado, limpie y seque bien el interior.
6. Cierre la tapa, vuelva a enchufar el congelador y déjelo enfriar durante algunas horas antes de volver a introducir los alimentos.

Cuidado del sello de la puerta:

Regularly clean the door gasket (seal) with a damp cloth to ensure it remains flexible and forms a tight seal. A damaged or dirty seal can lead to inefficient operation and increased frost buildup.

Using the Ice Scraper:

The included ice scraper can be used to gently remove light frost buildup without damaging the interior surfaces. Do not use metal or sharp objects.
