3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials. Ensure no parts are missing or damaged. Keep packaging materials away from children.

Place the mini fridge on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Allow at least 4 inches of space around the back and sides for proper ventilation. This appliance is designed for freestanding installation.
3.3 Door Reversal (Optional)
The door hinges are reversible, allowing the door to open from either the left or right side. Refer to the detailed diagram in the full product manual for specific instructions on reversing the door. This process typically involves unscrewing hinges, moving the door, and reattaching hinges on the opposite side.
3.4 Power Connection
Plug the appliance into a dedicated, grounded 115 Volt AC outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapter plugs. Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerating fluids to settle.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Temperature Control
The mini fridge features an adjustable thermostat located inside the unit, typically at the top. Turn the dial to adjust the cooling temperature. Settings range from MIN (least cold) to MAX (coldest). The recommended operating temperature range is 39-60°F (3.9-15.6°C).
4.2 Interior LED Light
The unit is equipped with an automatic LED interior light that illuminates when the door is opened. There is also a manual ON/OFF switch for the light, usually located near the thermostat control.

Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Clean the interior and exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. The glass shelves can be removed and washed with warm, soapy water.

This unit features an automatic defrost system, minimizing the need for manual defrosting. If excessive frost builds up, unplug the unit and allow the frost to melt naturally. Do not use sharp objects to remove frost.
