Setup and Installation
Unpacking and Placement

Electrical Connection
Before plugging in, ensure the voltage specified on the rating label matches your household's power supply (240 Volts). Allow the refrigerator to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before connecting it to power to allow refrigerants to settle.
Door Reversibility
The refrigerator door is designed to be reversible, allowing it to open from either the left or right side. Refer to the detailed instructions in the separate door reversal kit (if included) or consult a qualified technician for this procedure.
Operating Your Refrigerator
Temperature Control
The temperature inside the refrigerator is controlled by a thermostat. Adjust the dial to your desired setting. A higher number typically indicates a colder temperature. Start with a medium setting and adjust as needed based on ambient temperature and food load.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Defrosting
This refrigerator features an automatic defrost system for the refrigerator compartment. The freezer compartment may require periodic manual defrosting if excessive ice buildup occurs. To manually defrost, turn off the appliance, remove all food, and allow the ice to melt naturally. Do not use sharp objects to remove ice.
Cleaning the Refrigerator
Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene and efficiency:
- Interior: Clean the interior with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry thoroughly. Remove shelves and drawers for easier cleaning.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild detergent.
- Door Gaskets: Clean door gaskets regularly to ensure a tight seal.
- Always unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
Power Outages and Extended Absence
In case of a power outage, keep the refrigerator door closed to maintain temperature as long as possible. For extended absences, unplug the unit, empty all food, clean thoroughly, and leave the door slightly ajar to prevent odors and mold growth.
