Thawing
Frozen food can be thawed in a fridge compartment or at room
temperature. Small pieces of frozen food may be cooked directly, but
the cooking time will increase.
Tips on Freezing Foods
•The freezing process takes 24 hours. Do not add foods into the
freezer during this period.
•Freeze top quality, fresh, and thoroughly cleaned foods.
•Prepare the foods in small portions to make it freeze faster and can
be thawed in the required quantity.
•Wrap the foods with aluminum foil or polyethylene and make sure it
is airtight.
•Do not allow fresh unfrozen food to touch other frozen food. This is
to avoid a rise of temperature of the frozen foods.
•Lean foods freeze better and can be stored longer than fatty foods.
Salt can help preserve the foods.
•Consuming ice cubes immediately from the freezer may result in
frost burns.
•It is recommended to label each individual package with storing
date to keep tab of the storage period.
Tips on Storing Frozen Foods
•Make sure that the commercially frozen foods were adequately
stored by the retailer.
•Be sure that the frozen food is quickly transferred to the chest
freezer in the shortest amount of time.
•Do not open the door too frequently or leave it open for a long
period of time.
IMPORTANT!
If accidental defrosting occurs (for example in power outage),
defrosted foods must be consumed or cooked immediately. Cooked
foods can be re-frozen.

12
•Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food
manufacturers.
Cleaning and Maintenance
To make sure that the freezer is in optimum condition, the interior and
accessories must be cleaned regularly.
•Before performing cleaning activity, switch off the freezer and
unplug the power cord.
•Do not clean the freezer using steam cleaner. Moisture from the
steam may damage the electrical components and cause electric
shock. Hot steam may damage plastic components. Freezer must be
dried completely before use.
•Do not allow such substances to come in contact with the
appliances.
•Do not use abrasive cleaners.
•Remove the foods from the freezer and store in a cool and well
covered place.
•Clean the interior and accessories using cloth and lukewarm water.
After that, clean with clean water and dry completely.
•Dust can accumulate on the condenser and cause performance
drop. Clean the freezer condenser at least once a year using soft
brush or vacuum cleaner.
PART 4: MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT!
Freezer may not be connected to the main electrical socket during
cleaning! Risk of electric shock!
IMPORTANT!
Essential oils and organic solvent may damage plastic components.
For example lemon water, orange water, butyric acid, cleaner that
contains acetic acid.

13
•After everything is dried completely, install the accessories and
freezer to the initial position.
Defrosting
Freezer will become progressively covered with frost and must be
cleaned. Do not use sharp metal objects to scrape the frost because it
can damage the freezer. Use plastic scraper.
If the accumulated frost becomes very thick, complete defrosting should
be performed as follows:
•Unplug the unit. Remove the inner drain plug. Open the door and let
it open to accelerate the defrost process. Defrosting usually takes a
few hours.
•To collect the defrost water, place a tray beneath the outer drain
hole.
•Pull the outer drain dial and rotate 180°. The defrost water will flow
out of the freezer.
•When finished, push the outer drain plug back to its place. Reinstall
the inner drain plug. Monitor the water level in the tray to avoid
overflow.
•Clean the interior of the freezer and plug the power cord.
•Adjust the thermostat knob to the desired position.
LED Lamp Replacement
