Setup and Installation
Unpacking
- Carefully remove all packaging materials, including tape and protective films.
- Inspect the refrigerator for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.
- Retain packaging materials for future transport or if the unit needs to be returned.
Placement
- Place the unit on a firm, level floor capable of supporting its weight when fully loaded.
- Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for proper ventilation (minimum 10 cm on sides and rear, 30 cm above).
- Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources (radiators, ovens), or areas with high humidity.
- Use the adjustable feet to level the appliance. The unit also has 4 castors for easy movement before final placement.
Initial Cleaning
Before first use, clean the interior and exterior surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry thoroughly.
Power Connection
After placement and leveling, wait at least 2-4 hours before plugging the unit into a grounded electrical outlet. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Connect to a dedicated circuit if possible.
Operating Instructions
Temperature Control
The refrigerator is equipped with an electronic temperature control system and a digital thermometer. The recommended temperature range for this unit is 2 to 10 °C.
- To adjust the temperature, refer to the specific instructions for the electronic controller model (usually involving pressing 'SET' and using arrow keys).
- The digital display shows the current internal temperature.
Loading the Refrigerator
- Distribute items evenly on the shelves to ensure proper air circulation.

Maintenance
Cleaning
- Daily: Wipe down the exterior and interior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
