Before first use, clean the interior and exterior of the refrigerator with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
3.4 Power Connection
Plug the refrigerator into a dedicated 220V, 50Hz, AC power outlet. Allow the refrigerator to stand for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerants to settle.
3.5 First Use
After plugging in, allow the refrigerator to operate for several hours (approximately 4-6 hours) to reach its optimal cooling temperature before storing food items.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Temperature Control
Your refrigerator is equipped with Intellisense Inverter technology which senses and analyzes conditions to optimize cooling. Temperature settings can be adjusted via the control panel located inside the refrigerator. Refer to the markings on the control panel for specific settings (e.g., 'Min' for warmer, 'Max' for colder).
4.2 Auto Defrost Technology
The Vitamagic PRO features automatic defrost technology, eliminating ice buildup in the freezer compartment. This system melts excess ice automatically, so there is no need for manual scraping or switching off the appliance for defrosting.

5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning the Interior
Regularly clean the interior with a solution of mild soap and warm water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
5.2 Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel finishes, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner. Do not spray water directly onto the refrigerator.
5.3 Gasket Care
The anti-bacterial door gasket should be cleaned regularly to ensure a tight seal. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. A damaged gasket can lead to inefficient cooling.
5.4 Defrosting
As your refrigerator features Auto Defrost Technology, manual defrosting is generally not required. If excessive ice buildup occurs due to unusual conditions, contact customer support.
