- Placement:
- Place the refrigerator on a flat, stable surface strong enough to support its weight when fully loaded.
- Ensure adequate ventilation. For freestanding use, allow at least 2 inches of space around the sides and back. For built-in installation, ensure the front ventilation grille is unobstructed.
- Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heat sources (e.g., oven, radiator).

- Install Shelves: Insert the metal detachable shelves into the desired positions. They can be adjusted to accommodate different beverage sizes.
- Install Door Handle (if not pre-installed): Attach the door handle using the provided screws and tools.
