2. Setup Instructions
2.1 Unpacking and Placement
Carefully unpack the refrigerator and remove all packaging materials. Ensure the appliance is placed on a firm, level surface to prevent vibrations and ensure proper door alignment. Allow adequate space around the refrigerator for proper ventilation (at least 10 cm on sides and back, 30 cm on top) to ensure efficient cooling and prevent overheating.

2.2 Electrical Connection
This product requires a 15 Amp power supply. If only a 5 Amp socket is available, use a suitable conversion adapter. After delivery and placement, it is recommended to wait at least 5 hours before switching on the refrigerator. This allows the refrigerant to settle, preventing potential damage to the compressor.
2.3 Initial Cleaning
Before first use, clean the interior and exterior of the refrigerator with a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Wipe dry thoroughly. Ensure all shelves and drawers are properly installed.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Temperature Control
The refrigerator is equipped with an in-built LED Display Panel for instant control and access to temperature settings. The freezer operates between -14°C and -24°C, while the main refrigerator unit operates between 2°C and 8°C. Adjust the temperature using the controls on the LED panel to suit your storage needs.

The integrated Multi Airflow System ensures smooth and uniform airflow into all storage compartments. This consistent cooling helps maintain optimal temperatures and freshness for your food items.
3.4 Water Dispenser
