Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect for any transit damage. It's recommended to have two people for moving due to its size and weight (81 kg gross).

Dimensions: The unit measures W890 x D609 x H1778 mm. Verify your kitchen space allows for these dimensions, plus adequate clearance for doors to open fully.
Leveling: Adjust the adjustable feet to ensure the appliance is perfectly level. This is crucial for optimal operation and door alignment.
Power Connection: Plug the appliance into a dedicated, properly grounded power outlet. Wait at least 4-6 hours before switching it on for the first time to allow compressor fluids to settle.
This is a freestanding American Style fridge freezer. It is not designed for integrated installation.
Ensure your electrical supply meets the specifications outlined in the user manual.
Cleaning: Disconnect from power before cleaning. Clean the interior and exterior surfaces regularly with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. For the interior, use a solution of baking soda and water to neutralize odors.
