Installing a mini fridge can vary slightly depending on the specific model and design. Please refer to the model’s user manual for specific information. This is a general guide to help you through the process:
- Choose the location
Select a suitable location for your mini fridge. It should be close to an electrical outlet and have proper ventilation to allow heat to dissipate from the compressor. Consider placing your mini fridge in a convenient location, such as a kitchenette, dorm room, office, or entertainment area.
- Allow for ventilation
Leave some space between the back and side of the mini fridge and the wall to allow for proper ventilation. This will help prevent the compressor from overheating and improve energy efficiency. The user manual of each model will indicate the recommended gap for ventilation.
- Prepare the area
Clear the space where you intend to place the mini fridge. Make sure there’s enough room for the door to open fully and for air to circulate around the unit. Some Subcold mini fridges feature reversible door providing versatility and adaptability to different layouts and preferences.
- Leveling
Use a level to ensure the surface where you’re placing the mini fridge is flat and level. Some models come with adjustable feet so you can adjust the feet by leveling screws on the bottom of the fridge as needed to achieve stability and balance.
- Plug into power outlet
Locate a nearby electrical outlet that can handle the voltage and current requirements of the mini fridge. Ensure the outlet is grounded and not overloaded with other appliances. Insert the plug securely into the outlet, and avoid using extension cords if possible.
- Adjusting temperature
Before loading the fridge with food or beverages, let it run for a few hours to reach the desired temperature. Depending on your model, you may have temperature control settings. Adjust these settings according to your preferences or refer to the user manual for recommended temperature settings.
- Cleaning and Maintenance
Regularly clean the interior and exterior of the mini fridge to prevent the buildup of dirt and grime, maintain hygiene and prevent odors. Refer to the Cleaning and Maintenance section of the user manual for more information.
- Organising contents
Organise the items inside the fridge, make sure to leave space for proper air circulation. Avoid overloading the fridge, as this can affect its cooling efficiency. Most Subcold fridges come with removable and adjustable shelves. You can also purchase additional shelves if needed.
