Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Placement: Ensure the fridge freezer is placed on a level surface with adequate ventilation space around the unit. Allow a 5cm gap from the wall.

  3. Initial Start-up: Allow the fridge to run for at least 2 hours before adding food. This allows the appliance to reach the correct operating temperature.
