3. Setup

3.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove all packaging materials, including foam and adhesive tape. Dispose of packaging responsibly. Check the appliance for any damage during transit.

3.2 Placement

• Place the refrigerator on a firm, level floor. Use the adjustable feet to ensure stability and proper door alignment.
• Allow adequate space around the appliance for proper ventilation (at least 10 cm at the back and sides).
• Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., stoves, radiators) to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency.

3.3 Electrical Connection

Connect the refrigerator to a dedicated, grounded power outlet. Ensure the voltage and frequency match the specifications on the rating label of the appliance. Do not use extension cords or multiple socket adapters.

3.4 Initial Cleaning

Before first use, clean the interior and exterior of the refrigerator with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.

3.5 First Use

After placement and cleaning, allow the refrigerator to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Once plugged in, let it run for several hours (e.g., 4-6 hours) to reach its operating temperature before storing food.

4. Operating Instructions

4.2 Food Storage Guidelines

• Fresh Food Compartment: Store fruits and vegetables in the crisper drawers. Dairy products, cooked foods, and beverages should be placed on shelves. Ensure food is covered to prevent drying out and odor transfer.
• Freezer Compartment: Use for long-term storage of frozen foods. Package items tightly to prevent freezer burn. Do not place hot food directly into the freezer.
• 4-Door Design: The multi-door design allows for better organization and reduces cold air loss when opening specific sections.

4.3 No Frost Technology

This refrigerator is equipped with No Frost technology, which prevents ice build-up in the freezer compartment. This means manual defrosting is not required.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

• Interior: Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Remove shelves and drawers for thorough cleaning.
• Exterior: Wipe down with a soft cloth and mild soap. For stainless steel surfaces, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner.
• Door Seals: Clean door gaskets regularly to ensure a tight seal. A dirty or sticky gasket can prevent the door from closing properly, leading to energy loss.
• Always unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.

5.2 Power Outage

In case of a power outage, keep the refrigerator doors closed to maintain the internal temperature for as long as possible. Food can remain safely frozen for several hours depending on the ambient temperature and how full the freezer is.
