3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Unpacking
Remove all packaging materials, including tape and protective films. Dispose of packaging responsibly. Check for any damage during transit.
3.2 Location
Place the refrigerator on a firm, level floor. Ensure there is adequate space around the appliance for proper ventilation (at least 5 cm on sides and back, 10 cm on top). Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources. The ambient temperature should be between 10°C and 43°C (50°F and 110°F).
3.3 Leveling
Adjust the leveling feet to ensure the refrigerator is stable and level. This prevents vibrations and ensures proper door sealing.

The Smart Inverter Compressor adjusts its power to maintain optimal temperature, resulting in energy savings and quieter operation. It continuously monitors conditions and adjusts cooling power as needed.
4.3 DoorCooling+
DoorCooling+ provides additional cooling from the top of the refrigerator, helping to keep items stored in the door shelves colder and fresher.
4.4 Linear Cooling System

4.5 Movable Ice Maker
Your refrigerator is equipped with a movable ice maker in the freezer compartment. To make ice, fill the ice tray with water and place it in the designated area. Once frozen, twist the tray to release the ice cubes into the storage bin. The ice maker can be removed if more freezer space is needed.
