3.1 Unpacking and Placement

1. Remove all packaging materials, including the foam base and adhesive tape.
2. Place the refrigerator upright in its desired location. It is crucial to allow the appliance to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant fluids to settle, preventing potential damage to the cooling system.
3. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. Leave at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space on the sides and back, and 8 inches (20 cm) on top for proper air circulation.

3.2 Leveling the Refrigerator

The refrigerator is equipped with adjustable legs and movable wheels for easy positioning and leveling.

• Use the adjustable feet at the front to level the unit. Turn clockwise to raise and counter-clockwise to lower.
• The rear wheels allow for easy movement. Once in place, ensure the front feet are adjusted to stabilize the unit.
