Setup and Installation
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, including tape and protective films. Keep packaging materials out of reach of children. Inspect the refrigerator for any shipping damage.
2. Placement
Choose a location that is level, dry, and well-ventilated. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources. Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the refrigerator for the doors to open fully and for proper air circulation. Recommended clearances: 5 cm (2 inches) at the back, 5 cm (2 inches) at the sides, and 10 cm (4 inches) at the top.

3. Leveling
Use the adjustable leveling feet at the bottom of the refrigerator to ensure it is stable and level. A level appliance operates more efficiently and prevents door alignment issues.
4. Electrical Connection
Plug the refrigerator into a dedicated, grounded 220 Volt AC outlet. Do not use multi-outlet adapters or extension cords. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified service technician.
5. Initial Cleaning
Before first use, clean the interior of the refrigerator and freezer compartments with a mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry thoroughly.
6. First Power-On
After plugging in, allow the refrigerator to run for at least 4 hours before placing food inside. This allows the internal temperature to stabilize.
Operating Instructions
1. Control Panel
The control panel is located on the exterior of the refrigerator door, providing easy access to temperature settings and special functions.

2. Temperature Settings
Use the control panel to adjust the temperature for both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Recommended settings are typically 3°C (37°F) for the refrigerator and -18°C (0°F) for the freezer. Adjust as needed based on ambient temperature and food load.
3. Water Dispenser
To dispense water, place a glass under the dispenser nozzle and press the lever. Ensure the water tank is filled if it's a manual fill system, or that the water line is connected if it's plumbed.
4. Interior Organization
The refrigerator features adjustable tempered glass shelves and spacious drawers, including an "Express Station" and dedicated drawers for fruits, vegetables, fish, and meat. These allow for flexible storage and easy organization of various food items.

Maintenance and Care
1. Cleaning the Interior
Clean the interior regularly with a solution of mild soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Remove shelves and drawers for thorough cleaning. Rinse and dry all parts completely before returning them to the refrigerator.
2. Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. For stainless steel surfaces, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner and polish in the direction of the grain to prevent streaks.
3. Door Gaskets
Inspect and clean the door gaskets regularly to ensure a tight seal. A dirty or damaged gasket can lead to inefficient cooling and increased energy consumption.
4. Condenser Coils
The condenser coils, usually located at the back or bottom of the refrigerator, should be cleaned periodically (at least once a year) to remove dust and debris. This improves cooling efficiency and extends the life of the appliance. Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning the coils.
5. Automatic Defrost
This refrigerator features an automatic defrost system, eliminating the need for manual defrosting of the freezer compartment.
