Operating Instructions
Temperature Control
The refrigerator features a manually adjustable thermostat with 7 levels, ranging from 1 to 8 °C. Turn the thermostat dial to your desired setting. A lower number indicates a warmer temperature, while a higher number indicates a colder temperature. Adjust the setting based on the ambient temperature and the amount of food stored.
Freezer Compartment
The mini fridge includes a small freezer compartment (2 liters capacity) designed for quick cooling of items. It is suitable for short-term storage of items requiring colder temperatures but is not intended for long-term storage of ice cubes or ice cream.
