Setup:
Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Allow the fridge to stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerant fluids to settle.
Placement: Position the fridge on a flat, stable surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit, especially at the back and sides, to allow heat dissipation. Do not place it in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
Leveling: Use the adjustable feet at the bottom to ensure the fridge is perfectly level. This helps with door alignment and efficient operation.
Power Connection: Plug the fridge into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the appliance's requirements.
Compatibility:
This appliance is specifically designed for under-counter installation. Measure your available space carefully to ensure a proper fit.
It is suitable for compact kitchens, utility rooms, offices, or as an overflow fridge.
Care:
Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the interior and exterior with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Remove shelves and drawers for thorough cleaning.
Defrosting: The 13-liter freezer section will require manual defrosting when ice buildup reaches approximately 3-5mm thickness. Turn off the appliance, remove contents, and allow the ice to melt naturally. Wipe dry before restarting.
Door Seal Maintenance: Keep the door seal clean and free of debris to ensure a tight seal and maintain energy efficiency.
Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation grilles at the back of the appliance remain unobstructed to prevent overheating and maintain optimal performance.
