Troubleshooting
Appliance is not turning on.
Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Test the outlet with another appliance. Ensure the fuse or circuit breaker for the outlet has not tripped. Allow the appliance to stand for at least 4 hours after moving before plugging it in.
Food is not cold enough in the fridge or freezer.
Verify that the temperature settings are correct. Ensure the door is fully closed and the seal is intact. Avoid overfilling the compartments, which can restrict airflow. Make sure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance. If recently installed, allow time for it to reach the set temperature.
Excessive frost build-up in the freezer.
Ensure the freezer door is sealing properly and is not being left open for extended periods. Avoid placing hot food directly into the freezer. Periodically defrost the freezer compartment as per the user manual to remove excess ice and maintain efficiency.
Unusual noises coming from the appliance.
Check if the appliance is level; adjust the leveling feet if necessary. Ensure nothing is touching the back or sides of the unit, which could cause vibrations. Some normal operating noises, such as gurgling (refrigerant flow) or humming (compressor), are expected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the appliance for any visible damage. Ensure all internal components (shelves, drawers) are present and secure.
Placement: Choose a firm, level surface. Allow adequate ventilation space around the appliance as specified in the user manual (typically 5-10 cm at the back and sides, and 30 cm above). Avoid placing it near heat sources like ovens, radiators, or direct sunlight.
Leveling: Adjust the front leveling feet to ensure the appliance is stable and level. This prevents vibrations and ensures proper door closure.
Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the interior and exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
Power Connection: After placing and leveling, wait at least 4 hours before plugging the appliance into a grounded electrical outlet. This allows the refrigerant fluid to settle, preventing compressor damage.
Compatibility
Kitchen Size: Its compact yet spacious design makes it suitable for various kitchen sizes, from small apartments to larger homes.
Electrical Requirements: Designed for standard household electrical outlets. Ensure your home's electrical supply meets the appliance's requirements (check the rating label).
Care & Maintenance
Regular Cleaning: Clean the interior regularly with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents that could damage surfaces.
Defrosting: If frost builds up in the freezer compartment (which is typical for non-frost-free models), manually defrost it periodically to maintain efficiency. Refer to your user manual for the recommended defrosting procedure.
Door Seals: Periodically check the door seals for wear and tear. Clean them with a damp cloth to ensure a tight seal, which is crucial for energy efficiency and food preservation.
Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation openings (at the back and sides) are not blocked. This allows proper airflow for the condenser, maintaining cooling performance.
Light Bulb Replacement: > Info needed: Instructions for replacing the internal light bulb should be found in the user manual.
Power Outages: During power outages, keep the doors closed to maintain the internal temperature for as long as possible.
