3.1 Disimballaggio
Rimuovere con cura tutto il materiale di imballaggio. Ispezionare il frigorifero per verificare eventuali danni subiti durante il trasporto. Segnalare immediatamente eventuali danni al rivenditore.
3.2 Posizionamento
This refrigerator is designed for freestanding installation. Place the appliance on a firm, level surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources (like stoves or radiators), and moisture.

3.3 Livellamento
Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the refrigerator to ensure it is stable and level. This helps in proper door alignment and efficient operation.
3.4 Collegamento elettrico
Connect the refrigerator to a dedicated power outlet. This model features stabilizer-free operation within a voltage range of 160-300V. However, for optimal protection and performance, especially in areas with frequent voltage fluctuations outside this range, a separate voltage stabilizer is recommended.
4. Istruzioni per l'uso
4.1 Avvio iniziale
After installation, wait for at least 2-4 hours before plugging in the refrigerator. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Once plugged in, set the temperature control and allow the refrigerator to cool for several hours before loading food.

5. Manutenzione
5.1 Pulizia degli interni
Before cleaning, unplug the refrigerator. Clean the interior regularly with a solution of mild soap and warm water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh detergents, or solvents.
5.2 Pulizia dell'esterno
Pulire le superfici esterne con un panno morbido, damp cloth. For stainless steel finishes, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner. Avoid using abrasive pads or cleaners that could scratch the surface.
5.3 Sbrinamento
This is a frost-free refrigerator, meaning manual defrosting of the freezer compartment is not required. Any frost that forms will be automatically removed.
