After the waiting period, plug the appliance into a suitable electrical outlet. Ensure the light inside the refrigerator compartment is on, indicating the appliance is functioning.

4. Temperature Settings

Set the refrigerator temperature to a middle setting, typically around 3 on the dial, to allow for optimal cooling before placing any food items inside.

5. Initial Cleaning

Clean the interior of the refrigerator thoroughly with warm water and baking soda to remove any manufacturing residues before placing food inside.
