Placement

Place the refrigerator on a firm, level floor. Ensure adequate space around the appliance for proper ventilation. The dimensions of the unit are 59.5 cm (width) x 68.2 cm (depth) x 186 cm (height).

Leveling

Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the refrigerator to ensure it is stable and level. This helps prevent vibrations and ensures proper door sealing.

Electrical Connection

Connect the refrigerator to a dedicated 50 Volt electrical outlet. The appliance uses an electrical cable for power. If a plug is not pre-installed, consult a qualified electrician for proper installation according to local electrical codes.

Initial Operation

After placement, allow the refrigerator to stand upright for at least 3 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Once plugged in, the unit will begin cooling to its pre-set temperatures.

Door Orientation

The refrigerator doors are factory-set to open from the right. Refer to the full service manual for instructions on reversing the door swing, if desired.
