Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, place the appliance on a level surface with adequate ventilation clearance (at least 5cm on the sides and back). Once positioned, wait at least four hours before plugging it into a grounded electrical outlet to allow the refrigerant to settle.

  3. Sync the fridge to your home Wi-Fi network to receive temperature alerts.
