Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, ensure the unit is placed on a level surface. After moving the fridge freezer, wait at least 4-6 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle. The unit must have at least 5cm of clearance from walls on the sides and back to ensure proper heat dissipation.

Maintenance is straightforward: use a damp cloth and mild detergent to clean interior surfaces. Because this unit is not self-defrosting, you should monitor the freezer for ice buildup; when the frost layer exceeds 3-5mm, perform a manual defrost by unplugging the unit and allowing the ice to melt naturally. Never use sharp objects to remove ice, as this can damage the internal cooling coils.
