3. Setup
3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, including protective films and tapes. Inspect the appliance for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.
3.2 Placement
- Place the refrigerator on a firm, level surface capable of supporting its weight when fully loaded.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 cm (4 inches) from walls or other objects on all sides to allow for proper airflow and heat dissipation.
- Avoid direct sunlight or proximity to heat sources (e.g., ovens, radiators) as this will affect cooling performance and increase energy consumption.
- The appliance is equipped with 2 adjustable feet at the front and 2 rollers at the rear for easy positioning and leveling. Use the adjustable feet to ensure the unit is perfectly level to prevent door misalignment and ensure proper operation.
3.3 Electrical Connection
Before plugging in the unit, allow it to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours. This allows the refrigerant to settle, preventing potential damage to the cooling system.
- Connect the appliance to a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet.
- Do not use extension cords or adapter plugs.
- Verify that the power supply matches the requirements specified on the appliance's rating label (220-240V/50Hz).
3.4 Initial Cleaning
Before first use, clean the interior and exterior of the refrigerator with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Temperature Control
The TefCold SCU1425 Frameless features a mechanical temperature controller, typically located inside the cabinet or at the rear. The recommended operating temperature range is +2 to +10 °C. Adjust the thermostat dial to set the desired temperature. Lower numbers usually indicate colder temperatures.
4.2 Loading the Refrigerator
Arrange products to allow for proper air circulation. Do not block the air vents inside the cabinet. Overloading the refrigerator can impede airflow and reduce cooling efficiency.
4.3 Internal Lighting
The refrigerator is equipped with LED lighting integrated into the door frame to illuminate the contents. This lighting typically operates automatically when the door is opened or can be controlled by a switch, if present.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene.
- Interior: Clean the interior regularly with a mild, non-abrasive detergent and warm water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Remove shelves for easier cleaning.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Condenser: The condenser coils (typically located at the rear or bottom of the unit) should be cleaned periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) to remove dust and debris. This improves cooling efficiency and extends the lifespan of the unit. Always unplug the unit before cleaning the condenser.

5.2 Defrosting
This appliance features an automatic defrosting system, minimizing the need for manual defrosting. During the defrost cycle, ice accumulated on the evaporator coils melts and drains away. Ensure the drain hole is clear to prevent water buildup.
5.3 Shelf Adjustment
The refrigerator comes with 5 black sheet metal shelves. These shelves are adjustable to accommodate various product heights. To adjust, simply lift the shelf, reposition the shelf supports to the desired height, and reinsert the shelf.
