4.1 Unboxing

Carefully remove the refrigerator from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any shipping damage. Retain packaging materials for future transport if needed.

4.2 Placement

This appliance is designed for freestanding installation. Ensure the refrigerator is placed on a flat, stable surface capable of supporting its weight when fully loaded. For optimal performance and to prevent overheating, allow adequate ventilation:
