Placement

• Place the refrigerator on a flat, stable surface capable of supporting its weight when fully loaded.
• Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space around the back and sides for proper ventilation.
• Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can affect cooling performance and energy efficiency.
• This unit is suitable for both freestanding and built-in installations, ensuring adequate ventilation is maintained.

Leveling

The refrigerator is equipped with 4 adjustable feet at the bottom. Use a level to ensure the appliance is perfectly level. Adjust the feet by turning them clockwise or counter-clockwise until the unit is stable and level.

Electrical Connection

• Plug the appliance into a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapter plugs.

Initial Use

• Before loading beverages, clean the interior with a mild detergent and warm water.
• Allow the refrigerator to stand upright for at least 2 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerants to settle.
• Run the empty refrigerator for 24 hours to ensure proper cooling before loading.

Operating Instructions

Temperature Control

The refrigerator features a 7-stage mechanical knob for temperature adjustment, located inside the unit. Turn the knob to select your desired cooling level. Higher numbers indicate colder temperatures (e.g., 7 for coldest, 1 for warmest). The recommended operating temperature range is 32°F to 50°F.
