Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the refrigerator for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.
3.2 Placement
Place the refrigerator on a firm, level surface capable of supporting its weight (approximately 98.66 kg). Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 cm (4 inches) from walls or other objects to allow for proper airflow and heat dissipation. Avoid direct sunlight or proximity to heat sources.

Connect the refrigerator to a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet. Verify that the power supply matches the specifications: 220-240 Volt / 1N/PE / 50 Hz.
3.4 Initial Cleaning
Before first use, clean the interior and exterior of the refrigerator with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3.5 Shelf Installation
The refrigerator comes with 4 height-adjustable grids and 4 pairs of stainless steel rails. Insert the rails into the desired slots on the interior walls and place the grids securely on top of the rails. Ensure shelves are level and stable before loading.
