2. Leveling
Ensure the refrigerator is level by adjusting the leveling feet at the bottom. A level appliance operates more efficiently and prevents door alignment issues.
3. Power Connection
Plug the refrigerator into a dedicated 110-volt grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapter plugs.
4. Initial Cooling
After plugging in, allow the refrigerator to cool for at least 2-4 hours before placing food inside. This allows the internal temperature to stabilize.
Operating Instructions
1. Temperature Control
The refrigerator features an adjustable thermostat with 7 settings. Turn the dial inside the refrigerator compartment to select your desired temperature. Setting '1' is the warmest, and '7' is the coldest. Adjust the setting based on the amount of food stored and ambient room temperature.

Maintenance
1. Defrosting
This refrigerator features a manual defrost system. When frost accumulates to about 1/4 inch thick in the freezer compartment, it's time to defrost:
- Unplug the refrigerator from the power outlet.
- Remove all food items from both compartments and store them in a cooler to prevent spoilage.
- Leave the doors open to allow frost to melt naturally. You can place towels at the bottom to absorb water.
- Once all frost has melted, clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
- Plug the refrigerator back in and allow it to cool for a few hours before returning food.
Do not use sharp objects or heating devices to remove frost, as this can damage the cooling system.
2. Cleaning
Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene and efficiency:
- Unplug the appliance before cleaning.
- Wash the interior with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Use a soft cloth or sponge.
- Clean removable shelves and the crisper drawer with warm, soapy water.
- Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. For stainless steel surfaces, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner.
- Ensure all parts are dry before plugging the refrigerator back in.
