Initial Setup:
Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials.
Placement: Position the fridge freezer on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources (like ovens or radiators), and excessive moisture. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the back and sides for optimal performance.
Leveling: Use the adjustable feet (if present) to ensure the appliance is level. This helps with door sealing and efficient operation.
Power Connection: Plug the appliance into a grounded electrical outlet.
First Use: Allow the fridge freezer to stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle. Once plugged in, allow it to run empty for a few hours (e.g., 2-4 hours) to reach its optimal operating temperature before loading it with food.
Compatibility:

Care and Maintenance:
Cleaning:
Interior: Regularly clean the interior with a mild detergent and warm water. Wipe spills immediately. Remove shelves and drawers for thorough cleaning when needed.
Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Door Seals: Keep door seals clean and free of food debris to ensure a tight seal and energy efficiency.
Defrosting:
Freezer: > Info needed: Specific defrosting instructions (manual or frost-free). Many retro style freezers require manual defrosting. Defrost when frost buildup is about 5-10mm thick to maintain efficiency.
Fridge: The fridge section typically self-defrosts; condensation will drip into a tray and evaporate.
Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation grilles at the back or sides are not blocked by dust or other objects to allow proper airflow and prevent overheating.
Power Outages: During long power outages, keep the doors closed to maintain internal temperatures for as long as possible.
