Designed to make life easier, No Frost technology keeps a constant flow of air inside the freezer, preventing ice build-up so you never have to defrost again. Thanks to FreezerProtect, this model performs the same in garages or outbuildings, safely operating in temperatures as low as -15°C*, ideal when kitchen space is limited. The Fast Freeze function locks in freshness by rapidly lowering the temperature after loading your groceries, while the Inverter Compressor ensures quiet, efficient performance and steady cooling to help reduce energy use. Inside, bright LED lighting gives you a clear view of every shelf, and the Door Open Alarm alerts you if the door is left open, helping you save energy and keep your food perfectly preserved. *Certain models only. We do not recommend using your fridge compartment in low ambient temperatures.

Troubleshooting
Freezer not cooling adequately
Check that the door is closing properly and the seal is intact. Ensure the temperature setting is correct and that the air vents inside are not blocked. Clean condenser coils if they appear dusty.
Freezer is making unusual noises
Some operational noises are normal, especially from the compressor or fan. Ensure the unit is level on the floor. If noises are loud or persistent, check for obstructions or contact customer support.
Excessive frost build-up (despite No Frost)
This can indicate the door has been left open frequently or for extended periods, or that the door seal is faulty. Check the door seal and ensure it is clean and making full contact. If the problem persists, contact customer service.
Door alarm keeps sounding
Ensure the freezer door is fully closed. Check for any obstructions preventing the door from sealing completely. If the alarm continues after the door is securely shut, there may be a fault with the sensor or alarm system.
