Troubleshooting
Fridge is not cooling or not cold enough.
First, check if the fridge is plugged in correctly and the power outlet is working. Ensure the temperature control dial is set to a colder setting (lower number). Verify the door is closing completely and the seal is intact. Avoid placing the fridge in direct sunlight or near heat sources, and ensure proper ventilation around the unit.
Excessive ice buildup in the ice box.
This is normal for a manual defrost ice box. It requires periodic manual defrosting. Unplug the unit, remove all contents, and allow the ice to melt naturally. You can speed this up by placing a bowl of warm water inside, but avoid using sharp objects to chip ice.
Fridge is making unusual noises.
Ensure the fridge is level using its adjustable feet. Check that nothing is touching the back or sides of the unit, causing vibrations. A slight humming or gurgling sound from the refrigerant is normal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Check for any damage during transit.
- Placement: Choose a level surface away from direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g., ovens, radiators). Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit – generally, a few inches of clearance on the sides and back is recommended for efficient operation.
- Leveling: Use the adjustable feet at the bottom of the fridge to ensure it is perfectly level. This prevents excessive noise and helps the door seal properly.
- Reversible Door (Optional): If desired, you can change the door's opening direction. This typically involves unscrewing hinges and reinstalling them on the opposite side. Refer to the specific instructions in your user manual.
- Initial Power-On: After placing and leveling, wait at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle, preventing potential damage. Set the thermostat to your desired temperature.
Compatibility
This mini fridge is designed for indoor use and plugs into a standard electrical outlet. Its compact dimensions make it highly compatible with various settings:
- Worktops: Fits neatly on kitchen counters or office desks.
- Under Desks: Can be tucked away in a home office or study.
- Bedrooms: Ideal for keeping drinks and snacks close at hand.
Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the interior and exterior surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. For stubborn spots, use a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.
- Defrosting: The ice box will accumulate frost over time. When frost buildup is about 0.5cm thick, it's time to manually defrost. Turn off and unplug the fridge, remove all contents, and allow the frost to melt. Place a towel to absorb water. Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior thoroughly before plugging it back in.
- Door Seal: Regularly check the door seal for any damage or dirt that could compromise its effectiveness. A clean, intact seal ensures efficient cooling.
