Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure the appliance is placed on a level surface with adequate ventilation space on all sides to maintain efficiency. The unit features adjustable feet to help stabilize it on uneven flooring. During the initial setup, it is recommended to leave the unit standing for at least 4-6 hours before plugging it in to allow the cooling system to settle. For the reversible door setup, ensure you have the necessary tools and assistance, as the door hinges can be adjusted to open from either the left or right side. To clean, use a soft cloth with warm water and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage the interior plastic or glass shelves.
