3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the appliance for any damage. Keep packaging materials away from children.

3.3 Leveling
The appliance comes with leveling feet. Adjust these feet to ensure the refrigerator is level and stable. A level unit operates more efficiently and prevents door alignment issues.

The door hinges are reversible, allowing you to change the door swing direction to suit your installation needs. Refer to the detailed diagram in the separate door reversal instructions (not included in this manual) for specific steps.
