Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Placement: Ensure the fridge is placed on a level surface with adequate space around it for ventilation. Allow at least 5cm of space at the back and sides.
- Power Connection: Plug the fridge into a grounded outlet.
- Initial Operation: Allow the fridge to run for a few hours before filling it with food to reach the desired temperature.
- Temperature Settings: Use the internal display to set the desired temperatures for the fridge and freezer compartments.
Compatibility

Care
- Cleaning: Clean the interior and exterior regularly with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Defrosting (If Necessary): Although the freezer has a No Frost system, the fridge compartment may still need occasional defrosting if ice builds up.
- Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation openings at the back of the fridge are clear to maintain cooling efficiency.
- Door Seals: Check the door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and airtight. Clean them with a damp cloth.
- Handle: Wipe the handle regularly to remove dirt and maintain its shine.
