4.2 Power Connection
After placing the unit, wait at least 12 hours before plugging it into a grounded electrical outlet. This allows the refrigerant to settle, preventing potential damage to the cooling system.
4.3 Door Reversal
The refrigerator doors are reversible and can be installed to open from either the left or right side. Refer to the detailed diagram for hinge adjustment and reinstallation steps. This process typically involves unscrewing hinges, moving them to the opposite side, and reattaching the doors.
