4.1 Unpacking

1. Carefully remove all packaging materials, including foam and adhesive tape.
2. Inspect the refrigerator for any damage incurred during transit. Report any damage to your retailer immediately.
3. Remove all internal accessories and clean them before use.

4.2 Placement

• Place the refrigerator on a firm, level floor that can support its weight.
• Allow adequate space around the appliance for proper ventilation (at least 10 cm on sides and back, 30 cm at top).
• Avoid placing the refrigerator near heat sources such as stoves, radiators, or direct sunlight.
• This is a freestanding appliance and should not be built into cabinetry without proper ventilation considerations.

4.3 Leveling

Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the refrigerator to ensure it is stable and level. This helps reduce vibration and ensures proper door sealing.

4.4 Power Connection

• Before plugging in, allow the refrigerator to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
• Connect the refrigerator to a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet with the correct voltage and frequency as indicated on the rating label. The appliance is corded electric.
• Do not use extension cords or ungrounded adapters.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Initial Start-up

After connecting to power, the refrigerator will begin cooling automatically. Allow the appliance to operate for several hours (e.g., 4-6 hours) before placing food inside to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature.

5.2 Temperature Control

The Ham HM120SRF refrigerator features a fixed temperature setting. It is designed to maintain an optimal temperature for general food preservation without user-adjustable controls. Avoid frequent door openings to maintain stable internal temperatures.

5.3 Food Storage

• Store food in sealed containers to prevent moisture loss and odor transfer.
• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator; allow it to cool to room temperature first.
• Organize food on the glass shelves to allow for proper air circulation.

The refrigerator is equipped with a lock and key for security. Insert the key into the lock and turn to secure or unlock the door. Always keep the key in a safe place, out of reach of children.
