Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure the appliance is placed on a level surface; you can use the adjustable feet to stabilize it. With a width of 545mm, it fits well into most standard cabinetry gaps. For the reversible door setup, ensure you have adequate clearance on the opposite side before installation. Maintenance is minimal thanks to the Total No Frost technology; simply wipe the interior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent periodically. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the glass shelves. Keep the 1.8m cord clear of heat sources and ensure proper airflow around the back of the unit for optimal energy performance.
