Initial Setup
After positioning the refrigerator, it is crucial to allow it to rest for at least 8 hours before plugging it into the electrical outlet. This allows the refrigerant and oils to settle, preventing potential damage to the cooling system.
Connect the refrigerator to a dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 3-pin (Type B) grounded electrical outlet.
Operation
Temperature Controls
The refrigerator features adjustable temperature controls. Locate the thermostat dial inside the fresh food compartment. Turn the dial to adjust the cooling intensity. A higher number typically indicates colder temperatures. Start with a medium setting and adjust as needed based on food load and ambient temperature.
