1. Unpacking the Refrigerator
Carefully remove the refrigerator from its packaging. Ensure that all protective materials, such as tape and foam, are removed from both the interior and exterior of the unit. Check for any visible signs of damage or missing parts.
2. Positioning the Refrigerator
Place the refrigerator in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as stoves or radiators. Ensure that there is enough space around the unit for air circulation—at least 5 cm on the sides and back.
3. Leveling the Refrigerator
Adjust the leveling legs at the bottom of the refrigerator to ensure it is stable and level. This can be done by turning the legs clockwise or counterclockwise until the desired level is achieved.
4. Electrical Connection
Connect the refrigerator to an appropriate electrical outlet. Ensure that the outlet matches the power requirements specified in the manual. Avoid using extension cords or power strips to prevent any electrical hazards.
5. Initial Cleaning
Clean the interior of the refrigerator with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
6. Temperature Settings
Set the refrigerator temperature to the recommended setting as indicated in the manual. Allow the unit to run for a few hours to reach the desired temperature before storing any food inside.
7. Final Checks
Ensure that the refrigerator door seals properly and that there are no gaps. Check the unit for any unusual noises or vibrations. Make sure all controls and indicators on the control panel are functioning correctly.
