3.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove all packaging materials, including protective films and tapes. Keep packaging materials out of reach of children. Inspect the appliance for any damage during transit. If damage is found, do not install or operate the appliance and contact your retailer immediately.

3.2 Placement

Choose a location with a solid, level floor that can support the weight of the refrigerator when fully loaded. Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance. Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 cm (4 inches) from the back and sides to allow for proper air circulation and heat dissipation.

• Do not place in areas with extreme cold, as this may affect performance.
• Ensure the appliance is level by adjusting the front feet.

3.3 Electrical Connection

Connect the appliance to a dedicated, grounded power outlet. The voltage and frequency ratings must match those indicated on the appliance's rating label. Do not use extension cords or multi-outlet adapters. Allow the refrigerator to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerants to settle.

4.1 Control Panel

The digital control panel is located on the upper left door, allowing easy access to temperature settings and special functions.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene and efficiency. Unplug the appliance before cleaning.

• Interior: Clean with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Exterior: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel surfaces, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner.
• Door Seals: Clean regularly to ensure a tight seal, which is crucial for energy efficiency.
• Condenser Coils: Periodically vacuum the condenser coils at the back or bottom of the appliance to remove dust and debris. This improves cooling efficiency.

If ice accumulation occurs due to unusual conditions, ensure door seals are intact and contact service if the issue persists.
