4. Setup Guide
4.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, including foam and tape. Ensure no parts are left inside the unit. It is recommended to keep the original packaging for future transport or service needs.
4.2 Placement
Place the refrigerator on a flat, solid surface strong enough to support the unit when fully loaded. This appliance is designed for freestanding installation only. Allow at least 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator and any adjacent walls to ensure proper air circulation and cooling efficiency.
4.3 Leveling the Unit
The refrigerator is equipped with adjustable feet at the front. Turn the leveling feet clockwise to raise the unit or counter-clockwise to lower it. Ensure the unit is level to prevent vibrations and ensure proper door sealing.
4.4 Initial Operation
After placing the unit, allow it to stand upright for at least 2-3 hours before plugging it into a power source. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Once plugged in, let the unit run empty for approximately 4 hours to reach its operating temperature before loading with beverages.

6. Care and Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
Always unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. Clean the interior and exterior surfaces regularly with a mild detergent and warm water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects, as they can damage the surfaces. Ensure all surfaces are dry before plugging the unit back in.

This appliance features a manual defrost system. Frost buildup on the evaporator plate is normal. When the frost layer becomes about 1/4 inch thick, unplug the unit and allow the frost to melt naturally. Place a towel at the bottom to absorb water. Do not use sharp objects to remove frost.
6.3 Power Outage
In case of a power outage, keep the refrigerator door closed to maintain the internal temperature for as long as possible. Avoid opening the door unnecessarily.
