Setup Instructions

Proper setup is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your refrigerator. Please follow these steps carefully:

1. Unboxing: Carefully remove all packaging materials, including tape and protective films. Retain packaging for future transport if needed.
2. Placement: Position the refrigerator on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources (like stoves or radiators), and moisture. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit (at least 4 inches from walls). The dimensions are approximately 26.77"D x 27.56"W x 67.13"H.
3. Leveling: Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the refrigerator to ensure it is stable and level. This helps in proper door alignment and efficient operation.
4. Door Swing Reversal: The door hinges are reversible, allowing you to change the door swing direction to suit your kitchen layout. Refer to the detailed user guide for specific instructions on reversing the door swing.
5. Power Connection: Plug the refrigerator into a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet. Avoid using extension cords or adapters. Allow the refrigerator to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerants to settle.
6. Initial Cooling: After plugging in, allow the refrigerator to cool for several hours (at least 4-6 hours) before loading it with food.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your refrigerator, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips. For more detailed solutions, please consult the full user guide.

• Refrigerator Not Cooling: Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure the temperature control is set correctly. Verify that the door is fully closed and not obstructed.
• Unusual Noise: While the refrigerator is designed for whisper-quiet operation (43 dB), occasional noises can occur. Check if the unit is level and stable. Ensure no items inside are vibrating against each other or the walls.
• Excessive Frost/Ice Buildup: Although the unit is frost-free, ensure the door seal is intact and not damaged, as a faulty seal can lead to moisture ingress and ice formation. Avoid leaving the door open for extended periods.
• Water Leakage: Check if the drain pan is properly positioned and not overflowing. Ensure the drain hose is not clogged.
