Interior of the freezer
The freezer keeps the food fresh for a long time and is suitable for storing meat, fish, ice cream and other foods that are not intended to be consumed in the short term.
The freezer is equipped with three shelves and five drawers.

3. Plug in the power cord.
4. Let the freezer run empty for 2-3 hours (in warmer weather, let the freezer run empty for 4+ hours).
   Your freezer is now ready for use.

NOTE!
The default temperature in the freezer is -18 °C. This is the recommended temperature setting when the freezer is initially powered on.
Make sure the recommended temperature setting is selected (the Colder setting).
