Choose a location that is dry, well-ventilated, and away from direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g., stove, radiator).

Before first use, wipe the interior of the freezer with a damp klud og et mildt rengøringsmiddel. Tør grundigt.
5. Operating Your Chest Freezer
5.1 Control Panel and Mode Selection
Your Defy Multimode Chest Freezer features an intuitive control panel allowing you to switch between three modes: Freezer, Chiller, and Fridge. Locate the control panel, typically on the lower front or side of the unit.
- Fryser tilstand: For long-term storage of frozen foods (typically -18°C to -24°C).
- Chiller Mode: Ideal for keeping beverages or fresh produce very cold, but not frozen (typically 0°C to 4°C).
- Køleskabstilstand: For general refrigeration of fresh foods (typically 2°C to 8°C).
Refer to the markings on your specific control panel to select the desired mode and temperature setting.
5.2 Temperaturkontrol
Adjust the thermostat dial or digital controls to your desired temperature. For initial use, set to the coldest setting for 24 hours before loading food.
5.3 Fyldning af fryseren
Do not overload the freezer. Allow space for air to circulate around items for efficient cooling. For best results, pre-cool the freezer for several hours before adding large quantities of food.

6. Pleje og vedligeholdelse
6.1 Optøning
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches about 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thick. Turn off the freezer and unplug it. Remove all food items and place them in a cooler. Open the lid and allow the frost to melt naturally. Use a soft cloth to wipe away melted water. Do not use sharp objects to remove ice.
6.2 Rengøring af indersiden
After defrosting, clean the interior with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before restarting the freezer.
6.3 Rengøring af ydersiden
Tør de udvendige overflader af med en blød, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Keep the condenser coils at the back clean by gently vacuuming them periodically to ensure efficient operation.
6.4 Power Outage Retningslinjer
Thanks to Chill-In Technology, your freezer can maintain temperature for up to 140 hours during a power outage. Keep the lid closed as much as possible to retain cold air. Do not open the lid unnecessarily.
