• Keep packaging materials out of reach of children.

4.2 Placement

• Place the cooler on a flat, stable surface strong enough to support its weight when fully loaded.
• Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit. Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space at the back and sides, and 30 cm (12 inches) at the top for proper air circulation.
• Avoid placing the cooler in direct sunlight or near heat sources (e.g., ovens, radiators).

The cooler is equipped with adjustable feet. Use a spirit level to ensure the unit is perfectly level. Adjust the feet by turning them clockwise or counter-clockwise until the cooler is stable and level. Proper leveling is crucial for efficient operation and to prevent door alignment issues.

4.4 Initial Power-On

• Plug the power cord into a dedicated 220V, 60Hz grounded electrical outlet.
• The cooler will begin to cool. Allow it to operate for several hours (e.g., 24 hours) empty to reach the desired temperature before loading beverages.

• Always unplug the cooler before cleaning.
• Remove all beverages and shelves.
• Wash the interior surfaces and shelves with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth.
