2. Safety Information
Always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator.
- Ensure the appliance is properly grounded.
- Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
- Keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
- Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
- Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning or performing maintenance.
3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Unpacking
Remove all packaging materials, including tape and protective films. Inspect the refrigerator for any damage during transit.
3.2 Placement
Place the refrigerator on a firm, level floor. Ensure adequate space around the appliance for proper ventilation. This model is designed for flush-to-wall installation, requiring only 4mm clearance from the wall for the door to open up to 110 degrees without obstruction.

3.3 Leveling
Adjust the leveling feet to ensure the refrigerator is stable and level. This helps prevent vibrations and ensures proper door sealing.
3.4 Initial Power-on
After installation, wait at least 2-3 hours before plugging the refrigerator into a power outlet. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Once plugged in, allow the appliance to cool for several hours before loading food.
4. Operating Instructions

6. Troubleshooting
Before contacting service, check the following common issues:
- Refrigerator not cooling: Check if the power cord is properly plugged in, the temperature settings are correct, and the door is fully closed.
- Unusual noises: Some noises are normal (e.g., refrigerant flowing, compressor starting). Ensure the refrigerator is level and not touching a wall.
- Water on the floor: Check the drain pan and ensure the drain hose is not blocked.
