3. Setup
3.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the unit for any shipping damage. While units are designed to operate as expected, some may have exterior dings or scratches from transit. Retain packaging for potential returns or claims.

The unit features an efficient hot gas loop built into the condensate pan for effective evaporation of excess water, minimizing the need for manual draining.
5.4 Door Gaskets
Magnetic door gaskets are removable and replaceable without tools, allowing for easy cleaning and maintenance to ensure a tight seal.
6. Troubleshooting
If the refrigerator is not cooling properly, check the following:
- Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functioning outlet.
- Verify the temperature setting on the digital display is appropriate for your needs.
- Check that the doors are fully closed and the gaskets are sealing properly.
- Ensure there is adequate airflow around the unit and that the condenser coils are not obstructed or dirty.
- Avoid overloading the unit, which can restrict air circulation.
For persistent issues or complex repairs, contact a qualified service technician. Do not attempt to repair the refrigeration system yourself.
