5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Initial Start-up
Once plugged in, the refrigerator will begin cooling. Allow several hours for the appliance to reach its optimal operating temperature before storing food.
5.2 Electronic Temperature Control
Your refrigerator features an electronic temperature control system for precise temperature management. Use the one-touch control to adjust settings. The super cooling function can be activated for rapid cooling of newly added items.
5.3 Cooling Zone
