Setup, Compatibility & Care

  2. Power: Plug the appliance into a grounded power outlet. Allow the fridge to stabilize before adding food.
  3. Cleaning: Clean the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Clean the exterior with a soft cloth. Regularly clean the door seals to maintain a good seal.
  4. Temperature Control: Use the digital display to set the desired temperatures for both the refrigerator and freezer. A recommended fridge setting is between 3°C and 5°C. A freezer setting of -18°C is usually ideal.
