3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Unpacking

  • Carefully remove all packaging materials.
  • Inspect the unit for any shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to the retailer.
  • Allow the refrigerator to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it into a power source. This allows the refrigerant fluids to settle.

3.2 Placement

The Velivi beverage refrigerator is designed for both freestanding and built-in (under-counter) installations.

  • Freestanding: Place the unit in a location with sufficient space around it for air circulation.
  • Built-in (Under-Counter): Ensure the cabinet opening meets the required dimensions. The unit's front venting system allows for flush installation.
  • Avoid placing the unit near heat sources (e.g., oven, radiator, direct sunlight) or in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations.
  • Ensure the floor is level and strong enough to support the unit when fully loaded. Adjustable feet are provided for leveling.

3.3 Electrical Connection

  • Connect the unit to a dedicated, grounded 115V/60Hz AC outlet.
  • Do not use an adapter or extension cord.
  • The power plug type is Type A - 2 pin (North American).

3.4 Door Reversal (Optional)

The door is factory-set to open from the left. If you need to reverse the door swing, it is technically possible by rotating the door upside down. However, be aware that reversing the door may affect the functionality of the door lock, as the lock mechanism might not align correctly on the reversed side. Consult a qualified technician if you are unsure about performing this procedure.
