Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Placement: Ensure the unit is placed on a flat, stable surface. Use the adjustable feet to level the fridge to prevent vibrations or door misalignment.
- Clearance: Leave at least 5cm of space around the sides and back to allow for proper airflow and heat dissipation.
- Installation: As a freestanding model, simply connect to a standard 220-240V, 50Hz electrical outlet. The cord length is 1.55m, providing decent flexibility for positioning.
- Cleaning: Wipe the interior with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the glass shelves.
- Maintenance: Periodically check for frost build-up in the freezer compartment. When the frost layer exceeds 3-5mm, power off the unit and allow it to defrost naturally to maintain energy efficiency.
