Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, place the unit on a flat, level surface, utilizing the adjustable feet for stability. This is a freestanding appliance and should not be built into cabinetry; ensure there is adequate ventilation space around the unit as specified in the manual to maintain efficiency. The fridge operates on a standard 220-240V power source with a 1.8m cord. Care should be taken to clean the interior periodically using a soft cloth and mild detergent. While the fridge section features an automatic defrost function, the 26-litre ice box is a manual-defrost 4-star compartment, so you should monitor it for ice accumulation and defrost as needed to maintain cooling efficiency. Always ensure the door is closed properly to engage the door alarm if left ajar.
