Frequently Asked Questions - TWLFZ-80 Aspira

How do I set the temperature on the Aspira TWLFZ-80 freezer?

To set the temperature, rotate the thermostat dial located inside the freezer. A higher number indicates a colder temperature. For normal operation, set it to medium. Adjust as needed based on the amount of food stored.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

Defrost the freezer when the frost is about 5 mm thick. Unplug the unit, remove all food, and let the ice melt. Clean the interior with a mild detergent. Do not use sharp objects to remove frost.

What should I do if the freezer is not freezing properly?

Check that the power cord is plugged in and the thermostat is set correctly. Ensure the door seals tightly. Avoid overloading the freezer. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician.

How do I clean the freezer?

Unplug the freezer and remove all food. Wash the interior with a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Clean the condenser coils at least once a year.

What is the recommended clearance for installation?

Leave at least 10 cm of space behind and above the freezer for proper ventilation. Place it on a level surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

The door does not close properly. How can I fix it?

Check if the freezer is level. Adjust the front leveling feet if necessary. Inspect the door gasket for dirt or damage. Clean the gasket with warm water. If damaged, replace the gasket.

Can I store hot food directly in the freezer?

No, allow hot food to cool to room temperature before placing it in the freezer. Hot food raises the internal temperature and consumes more energy.

What is the maximum capacity of this freezer?

The Aspira TWLFZ-80 has a total capacity of 200 liters. Do not exceed the maximum load indicated on the rating plate to ensure proper airflow and efficiency.

How do I change the fuse?

The freezer uses a 10-amp fuse (UK) or a 16-amp fuse (EU). Unplug the unit, open the plug cover, and replace the fuse with one of the same rating. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

What should I do during a power failure?

Keep the freezer door closed. Food will stay frozen for about 24 hours if the freezer is full. Avoid opening the door. When power returns, check food temperature. Do not refreeze thawed food.
