Connect the refrigerator to a dedicated, properly grounded 230V AC power outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapter plugs. Ensure the power cord is not pinched or damaged.
Initial Operation
After placement and electrical connection, wait for at least 2-4 hours before plugging in the appliance. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Once plugged in, set the desired temperature using the control panel. Allow the refrigerator to run for several hours (e.g., 4-6 hours) to reach optimal cooling temperatures before storing food.
