Unpacking

Carefully remove all packaging materials, including foam and adhesive tape. Inspect the refrigerator for any damage. Keep packaging materials out of reach of children.

Door Reversal

The door orientation is reversible. If you wish to change the door swing direction, please refer to the detailed instructions provided in the full product manual or contact Hisense customer service for assistance. This process typically involves moving hinges and door stops.

Initial Power-On

After placing the refrigerator, wait at least 2-4 hours before plugging it into a 220V power outlet (Type G plug). This allows the refrigerant to settle. Once plugged in, the refrigerator will begin to cool. Allow several hours for the appliance to reach its optimal operating temperature before storing food.

3. Operating Instructions

Temperature Control

The refrigerator features an adjustable temperature control dial located inside the fresh food compartment. Settings typically range from 'Cold' (1) to 'Colder' (7). Adjust the dial to your desired cooling level. A mid-range setting (e.g., 3-5) is usually sufficient for general use.
