Follow these steps before turning on your new refrigerator:

2. Place the refrigerator in a space leaving clearance space 

around: 2 to 3 cm clearance space on the sides, 10 cm on the 
back and 5 to 10 cm on top. Keep the refrigerator away from 
heat sources such as stoves, ovens, heaters or sun light.

3. To level the refrigerator, turn the leveling screws that are on 

the lower front part, adjust them so that the refrigerator is 
slightly tilted backwards. In this way the door will close itself.

4. Let the refrigerator stand for 2 to 3 hours before connecting to 

a power supply, this will allow the gas and oil to settle before 
starting the cooling process.

5. Place the temperature control in the middle position.
  Let the refrigerator run for at least 24 hours to reach an 

adequate temperature.

  The voltage required for its operation is 127 V~ at a nominal 

frequency of 60 Hz. Never install any other device at the same 
contact as it may cause voltage variation.

Temperature control

The cooling level of the 
refrigerator is selected by 
moving the temperature control, 
depending on the quality of the food inside the 
refrigerator. You can select from moderate temperatures (Min/1) 
to extreme cold (Max/3) according to the cold conditions you want.
