Setup Instructions
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the refrigerator for any shipping damage. Keep packaging materials for future transport if needed.
- Placement: Position the refrigerator on a flat, stable surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit, especially if freestanding. For built-in installation, refer to the dimensions (22.4"D x 23.4"W x 33.9"H) to ensure proper fit and airflow.
- Leveling: Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the unit to ensure it is perfectly level. This is crucial for proper door alignment and efficient operation.
