Before plugging in the unit, ensure the power supply matches the voltage and amperage requirements listed on the product's rating label. Connect the unit to a dedicated, grounded electrical circuit.
4. Initial Cleaning
Before first use, clean the interior and exterior surfaces with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
5. Initial Startup
After placement and cleaning, plug in the unit. Allow the refrigerator to operate for at least 2-4 hours empty to reach its set temperature before loading with products.
Operating Instructions
1. Digital Temperature Controller
The unit is equipped with a digital temperature controller for precise temperature management. The display shows the current internal temperature.

2. Adjusting Temperature
Refer to the specific instructions provided with your digital controller for detailed steps on adjusting the temperature set point. Generally, pressing a 'SET' button allows you to view and then modify the desired temperature using arrow keys.
3. Loading the Refrigerator
Load products evenly within the drawers. Avoid blocking the internal air circulation vents to ensure consistent cooling. The robust forced air refrigeration system is designed for rapid cooling and temperature stability.
4. Power Switch
The unit features a main power switch, typically located near the digital controller. Use this switch to turn the unit on or off.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Migali refrigerator.
1. Cleaning the Interior
Disconnect power before cleaning. Remove all contents and shelves/drawers. Wash interior surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects.

2. Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and a stainless steel cleaner or mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive pads or cleaners that can scratch the surface.
3. Condenser Coil Cleaning
The condenser coil, typically located at the rear or bottom of the unit, should be cleaned regularly (every 1-3 months) to maintain efficiency. Disconnect power. Use a brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris from the coil fins. A dirty condenser coil can significantly reduce cooling performance and increase energy consumption.
