4.1 Placement
Place the refrigerator on a flat, stable surface. Allow adequate space around the unit for proper ventilation (at least 4 inches on sides and back). Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
4.2 Leveling the Appliance

4.3 Reversible Door Installation
The door of your mini fridge can be reversed to open from either the left or right side, depending on your space requirements. Refer to the detailed diagrams in the separate door reversal guide (if provided) or contact customer support for assistance. This process typically involves moving the hinges from one side to the other.
5. Operation
5.1 Initial Use
Before plugging in, allow the refrigerator to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Clean the interior with a damp cloth before first use. Plug the appliance into a dedicated power outlet.
5.2 Temperature Control
The refrigerator features a 5-level thermostatic control system. The temperature range is approximately 32.9°F (0.5°C) to 56.48°F (13.6°C). The freezer section operates between -0.4°F and 18°F.
- Turn the thermostat dial to adjust the cooling intensity.
- Mode 3 is recommended for daily use to maintain optimal food freshness.
- Higher numbers on the dial indicate colder temperatures.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning the Interior
Unplug the appliance before cleaning. Use a soft cloth with a mild detergent and warm water to clean the interior surfaces, shelves, and crisper drawer. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. The removable shelves and crisper drawer can be taken out for easier cleaning.

6.2 Defrosting the Freezer
Over time, frost may accumulate in the freezer compartment. Defrost the freezer when the frost layer is about 0.2 inches (5 mm) thick. To defrost:
- Unplug the refrigerator.
- Remove all food items from the freezer and store them in another cold place.
- Leave the freezer door open to allow the frost to melt naturally. Place a towel or tray to collect water.
- Use the provided defrost tool to gently scrape away ice, avoiding sharp objects that could damage the lining.
- Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior thoroughly before plugging the unit back in.
