3. Setup
3.1 Unpacking
Carefully unpack the refrigerator and remove all packaging materials, including tape and protective films. Inspect the appliance for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your retailer immediately.
3.2 Placement
Place the refrigerator on a firm, level surface. Ensure adequate clearance around the appliance for proper ventilation. Maintain at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space at the back and sides, and 30 cm (12 inches) at the top for optimal cooling performance and energy efficiency. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
3.3 Electrical Connection
Connect the refrigerator to a dedicated, grounded power outlet (230 Volts, Type F - 2 pin German plug). Do not use adapters or extension cords. Ensure the voltage and frequency match the ratings on the appliance's rating plate.
3.4 Initial Cleaning
Clean the interior and exterior surfaces of the refrigerator with a damp cloth and mild detergent before first use. Dry thoroughly.
3.5 First Power On
Allow the refrigerator to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours after moving it before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle. After plugging in, allow the appliance to cool for several hours (at least 4-6 hours) before loading food.
