Before plugging in the fridge, it is crucial to allow it to stand upright for at least 5 hours (or as recommended by some users, turn it upside down for 5 hours, then right side up for 1 hour). This allows the refrigerant fluids to settle properly within the absorption system, ensuring optimal performance and preventing potential issues.

Place the fridge on a stable, level surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit, especially at the rear where the cooling system is located, to allow for proper heat dissipation.

4.2 Instal·lació de portes reversibles

The fridge features a reversible door, allowing you to change the door's opening direction from left to right or right to left to suit your installation space. Refer to the diagrams below for guidance on reversing the door. This process typically involves unscrewing hinges, flipping the door, and reattaching hinges on the opposite side.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1 Connexió d'alimentació

The Smad fridge supports two power input options:

• 240 V CA: For household use, simply plug the provided 240V power cord into a standard wall socket.
• 12 V CC: For mobile use in vehicles, connect the provided 12V power cord to your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.

Ensure the correct power cord is used for the respective power source. The fridge is designed to seamlessly switch between these power modes if both are connected, prioritizing AC power when available.

The fridge supports both 12V DC and 220-240V AC power inputs for versatile use.

5.2 Control de temperatura

The fridge is equipped with an adjustable thermostat, allowing you to set the internal temperature between 0°C and 10°C. Locate the thermostat dial inside the fridge compartment. Turn the dial to your desired setting. A lower number typically indicates a warmer temperature, while a higher number indicates a colder temperature. Allow several hours for the fridge to reach the set temperature after initial power-on or adjustment.
