3. Setup Instructions

- Placement: Position the refrigerator on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the unit for proper ventilation.
- Leveling: Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the refrigerator to ensure the unit is stable and level. This helps in efficient operation and prevents vibrations.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, clean the interior and exterior of the refrigerator with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.

4. Operating Instructions
Your Saeoola Mini Fridge is designed for user-friendly operation. Follow these steps for optimal performance:
- Temperature Control: The refrigerator features a 7-level temperature control knob located inside the fresh food compartment. Rotate the knob to adjust the temperature. Setting '1' is the warmest, and '7' is the coldest. The refrigerator compartment temperature range is 32°F to 50°F, and the freezer compartment range is -0.4°F to 28.4°F.
- Compartment Usage: The top compartment is the freezer, suitable for frozen foods, ice cream, and making ice. The lower compartment is the refrigerator, ideal for fresh produce, beverages, and dairy products.
- Removable Shelves and Crisper Drawer: The glass shelves are removable, allowing for flexible storage space. The crisper drawer is designed to keep fruits and vegetables fresh.
- Internal LED Light: A bright LED light illuminates the interior of the refrigerator compartment for convenience.
- Low Noise Operation: The refrigerator operates quietly, with a noise level under 37 dB, making it suitable for bedrooms and offices.

5. Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your refrigerator.
- Cleaning the Interior: Unplug the appliance. Remove all food and shelves. Wash the interior surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner.
- Defrosting the Freezer: This unit features manual defrost. When frost accumulates to about 0.2 inches (5 mm) thick, unplug the refrigerator and remove all contents from the freezer. Allow the frost to melt naturally. Use the provided ice shovel to remove ice, but do not use sharp objects. Clean and dry the freezer thoroughly before plugging the unit back in.
- Door Gaskets: Clean the door gaskets regularly to ensure a tight seal. A dirty gasket can lead to inefficient cooling.
- Power Outage: In case of a power outage, keep the refrigerator door closed to maintain temperature for as long as possible.
6. Troubleshooting Guide
Before contacting customer service, please refer to the following common issues and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator does not operate. | Not plugged in; circuit breaker tripped; temperature control set to 'OFF'. | Ensure plug is secure; reset circuit breaker; turn temperature control to desired setting. |
| Temperature is too warm. | Door not closed properly; frequent door openings; warm food placed inside; poor ventilation; temperature control set too high. | Check door seal; reduce frequency of openings; allow hot food to cool before storing; ensure adequate clearance around unit; adjust temperature control to a colder setting. |
| Excessive noise. | Unit not level; objects vibrating against the unit; normal compressor operation. | Adjust leveling feet; ensure nothing is touching the refrigerator; some noise from compressor is normal. |
