3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove the appliance from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.
3.2 Placement
- Place the refrigerator on a firm, level surface capable of supporting its weight when fully loaded.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 cm (4 inches) from walls and other objects on all sides (back, top, and sides) to allow for proper airflow and heat dissipation.
- Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heat sources (e.g., ovens, radiators) to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency.
- The appliance is designed for indoor use only.
3.3 Leveling
The unit is equipped with adjustable feet and castors. Use the adjustable feet to level the appliance. Proper leveling is crucial for door alignment and efficient operation.
3.4 Electrical Connection
Before connecting, ensure the voltage and frequency of your power supply match the specifications on the appliance's rating label (220-240V/50Hz). Connect the unit to a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet.
3.5 First Use
After positioning and connecting the unit, allow it to stand for at least 2-4 hours before switching it on. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Once powered on, allow the refrigerator to cool down to the desired temperature before loading products.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Control Panel
Figure 4: Detail of the electronic control panel, showing the digital temperature display and control buttons.
The refrigerator features an electronic control panel, typically located at the bottom front of the unit. This panel includes a digital display showing the current internal temperature and buttons for adjustment.
4.2 Temperature Adjustment
- The standard operating temperature range for this model is 2°C to 8°C (35.6°F to 46.4°F).
- Use the arrow buttons (usually up/down) on the control panel to set the desired temperature.
- The display will show the set temperature briefly, then revert to displaying the current internal temperature.
4.3 Loading Products
- Ensure products are pre-chilled before placing them in the refrigerator to maintain stable internal temperatures.
- Do not overload shelves, as this can obstruct airflow and reduce cooling efficiency.
- Arrange products to allow for proper air circulation around them.
4.4 Interior Shelves

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your refrigerator.
5.1 Cleaning the Interior
- Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.
- Clean the interior regularly with a mild detergent and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Wipe dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent mold and mildew.
- Clean shelves and door seals regularly. Ensure door seals are free of debris to maintain a tight seal.
5.2 Cleaning the Exterior
- Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
- For glass doors, use a glass cleaner.
5.3 Condenser Coil Cleaning
The condenser coil, located at the bottom rear of the unit, should be cleaned periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) to ensure efficient operation. Dust and debris on the coil can reduce cooling efficiency and increase energy consumption.
- Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
- Carefully remove the front grille (if applicable) to access the condenser coil.
- Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust and lint from the coil.
- Replace the grille securely.
5.4 Automatic Defrost
This unit features an automatic defrost system. During the defrost cycle, ice accumulated on the evaporator coil is melted and drained. You may notice water collecting in a drip tray, which then evaporates. This process is normal and does not require manual intervention.
