Setup, Compatibility & Care

This unit is a standard freestanding model. When installing, ensure there is adequate ventilation space around the sides and back to maintain efficiency. The door is reversible; if your kitchen layout requires a left-hand opening, follow the instructions in the included user manual to switch the hinges. To care for your appliance, wipe the interior glass shelves and surfaces with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges. Because this model uses Total No Frost technology, you do not need to turn the unit off for manual defrosting; simply ensure the air vents remain unobstructed to allow for continuous, efficient cooling.
