4.5 Power Connection
Plug the appliance into a dedicated 120 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 Amp AC outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapter plugs. Allow the fridge to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Temperature Control
The temperature inside the mini fridge is controlled by a thermostat dial located inside the unit. Turn the dial to adjust the cooling intensity. Higher numbers indicate colder temperatures. For initial cooling, set the dial to the coldest setting for a few hours, then adjust to your desired level.
5.2 Storage Optimization
Utilize the adjustable glass shelves, crisper drawer, and door bins to organize your food and beverages efficiently. The removable shelves allow for customization to accommodate taller items.

This mini fridge features a manual defrost system. Frost will accumulate on the cooling plate. When the frost layer becomes about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick, it is time to defrost. Unplug the unit, remove all contents, and allow the frost to melt naturally. Place a towel at the bottom to absorb water. Do not use sharp objects to remove frost.
