Allow Refrigerant to Settle: Before plugging in your refrigerator, allow it to stand upright for at least 4 hours. This allows the refrigerant fluid to settle properly, which is crucial for the longevity and efficient operation of the appliance, especially if the unit was transported on its side.

Adjustable Feet: The refrigerator is equipped with adjustable feet to ensure stability and proper leveling on uneven surfaces. Adjust as needed to prevent wobbling.
Door Reversibility: The door hinges are reversible, allowing you to change the door swing direction to best suit your space and preference. Refer to the detailed instructions in the included physical manual for this procedure.

Maintenance
To ensure the long-term performance and cleanliness of your Electactic compact refrigerator, regular maintenance is recommended:
Manual Defrost: This refrigerator does not have an automatic defrost function. Manual defrosting is required periodically to remove ice buildup in the freezer compartment. Refer to the full user manual for detailed defrosting instructions.
Cleaning: Regularly clean the interior and exterior surfaces of the refrigerator. The removable glass shelves can be easily taken out for thorough cleaning. Use a mild detergent and soft cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your refrigerator, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
Refrigerator Not Cooling: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check the temperature control setting; it might be set too high. Verify that the refrigerator is not placed in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Allow adequate space for air circulation around the unit.
Excessive Noise: Check if the refrigerator is level. Adjust the leveling feet if necessary. Ensure that no objects are vibrating against the back or sides of the unit.
Ice Buildup in Freezer: This is normal for manual defrost models. Perform a manual defrost as described in the Maintenance section.
Door Not Closing Properly: Check if the door gasket is clean and free from obstructions. Ensure the shelves and contents inside are not preventing the door from closing fully.
