2. Leveling
Use the two leveling front legs to ensure the refrigerator is perfectly level. This is crucial for optimal performance and to prevent vibrations and noise. Adjust by turning the legs clockwise or counter-clockwise until the unit is stable.
3. Door Reversal (Optional)
The door is reversible. If you wish to change the door swing direction, refer to the detailed instructions in the comprehensive User Manual PDF linked in the "Warranty & Support" section.
4. Initial Cleaning and Power Connection
Before first use, clean the interior and exterior of the refrigerator with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Allow the unit to air dry completely. Plug the power cord into a dedicated 120V/60Hz grounded electrical outlet. Allow the refrigerator to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerants to settle.
Operating Instructions
1. Temperature Control
The digital control panel is located inside the unit at the top. Use the temperature control buttons to set your desired temperature between 37°F and 61°F. The display will show the current internal temperature. You can switch between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C) using the dedicated selector button.

2. Interior Lighting
The white LED interior light can be turned on or off via a button on the control panel. This feature allows for better visibility of your beverages.
3. Arranging Beverages
Utilize the sliding wire shelves to organize your beverages. For larger bottles, shelves can be removed to create more vertical space. Ensure bottles and cans do not obstruct the internal fan or touch the back wall for optimal cooling.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Interior
Unplug the unit before cleaning. Wash the interior surfaces and removable shelves with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
2. Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent. For stainless steel surfaces, use a stainless steel cleaner and polish in the direction of the grain. Regularly clean the condenser coils at the back of the unit to maintain efficiency.
3. Defrosting
This unit features a frost-free defrost system, minimizing the need for manual defrosting. However, if excessive frost builds up, unplug the unit and allow the frost to melt naturally. Do not use sharp objects to remove frost.
