• Allow at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator and any adjacent walls to ensure proper air circulation.

Door Reversal

The door of this refrigerator can be reversed to open from either the left or right side. To reverse the door, carefully remove the plastic caps and screws from the top hinge, then remove the adjustable leg and screws from the bottom hinge. Reattach all components to the opposite side. This process typically takes about 5 minutes.

Operating Instructions

Temperature Control

The refrigerator features an adjustable thermostat control located inside the unit. Turn the dial to your desired setting. A higher number indicates a colder temperature. Allow several hours for the refrigerator to reach the set temperature after initial startup or adjustment.

Initial Startup

After plugging in the refrigerator, allow it to run for at least 2-3 hours before placing food items inside. This ensures the interior reaches a stable cooling temperature.

Storage Capacity

This 2.7 cubic foot compact refrigerator offers ample storage for beverages and small food items. It includes multiple wire shelves for organization and a separate ice cube chamber for freezing small quantities of ice.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Regular cleaning helps maintain the efficiency and appearance of your refrigerator. Unplug the unit before cleaning. Use a soft cloth with a mild detergent and warm water to clean the interior and exterior surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. The interior shelves are easy to remove for thorough cleaning.

Defrosting

This refrigerator features a manual defrost system. Frost will gradually accumulate on the freezing plate. When the frost layer becomes too thick (approximately 1/4 inch or 0.6 cm), manually defrost the unit. To defrost, unplug the refrigerator, remove all food items, and leave the door open. Place a towel at the bottom to absorb melted ice. Do not use sharp objects or heating devices to speed up the defrosting process.

If your refrigerator is not operating correctly, check the following common issues before contacting customer support:

• Refrigerator does not operate: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into the outlet. Verify the circuit breaker or fuse.
• Temperature is not cold enough: Ensure the temperature control is set correctly. Avoid frequent door openings. Check for proper air circulation around the unit.
• Unusual noises: Minor noises are normal during operation. Ensure the refrigerator is level and not touching any walls or cabinets.
