To set the temperature, locate the temperature control dial inside the freezer compartment. Adjust the dial to the desired setting, typically between -18°C and -22°C for optimal freezing. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize.
First, check that the freezer is plugged in and the power is on. Ensure the door is closed tightly and the seal is not damaged. Clean the condenser coils and check the temperature setting. If the issue persists, contact a professional technician.
Defrost the freezer when the ice build-up is about 3-5 mm thick. Typically, this should be done every 6 months, but it may vary based on usage.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the interior and exterior surfaces, checking the door seals for integrity, and cleaning the condenser coils every 6 months to ensure efficient operation.
To prevent odors, regularly clean the interior with a mixture of baking soda and warm water. Ensure food is properly sealed and use activated charcoal or baking soda inside the freezer to absorb any lingering smells.
Unusual noises may be due to the freezer not being level, causing vibrations. Check for loose items in the freezer and ensure the appliance is on a stable surface. If the noises persist, contact a service technician.
Check for obstructions around the door seal and ensure items inside do not prevent closing. Inspect the door gasket for damage and clean it to enhance sealing. If necessary, replace the gasket.
It is not recommended to place hot food directly into the freezer as it can raise the internal temperature and affect other stored items. Allow food to cool to room temperature before freezing.
Improve efficiency by keeping the freezer full to maintain low temperatures, ensuring the door seals are tight, and placing the freezer in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources.
Keep the freezer door closed to maintain the temperature as long as possible. Once power is restored, check the condition of the food. If the outage lasts more than 24 hours, consider discarding perishable items.
