Maintain a standard clearance around the sides and back to allow for proper airflow. This unit is designed for indoor use within a temperature range of 16°C to 38°C; do not install it in unheated rooms.
For maintenance, the freezer section requires manual defrosting when ice buildup reaches a few millimeters thick. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
