3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, including tape and protective films. Inspect the refrigerator for any damage during transit. Keep packaging materials for potential future transport or service.
3.2 Placement
- Place the refrigerator on a firm, level floor.
- Ensure adequate space around the unit for proper air circulation (at least 10 cm at the back and sides, 30 cm at the top).
- Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Do not place in areas with extreme temperatures or high humidity.
3.3 Leveling
Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the refrigerator to ensure it stands stable and level. This prevents vibrations and ensures proper door sealing.
3.4 Power Connection
Plug the refrigerator into a dedicated, grounded 3-prong electrical outlet. Do not use adapters or extension cords. Allow the refrigerator to stand for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerants to settle.
3.5 Initial Startup
After plugging in, the refrigerator will begin cooling. It may take several hours for the internal temperature to reach the desired level. Avoid placing food inside until the refrigerator has reached its operating temperature.
