Getting Started

Congratulations on your new Subcold mini fridge! Follow these steps to set it up correctly.

Before You Start

  • Let the fridge stand upright for at least 2 hours before plugging in (allows cooling fluid to settle)
  • Place on a flat, stable surface
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit (at least 10cm on each side)

Setup Steps

  1. Remove all packaging materials
  2. Clean the interior with a damp cloth
  3. Place the fridge in your desired location
  4. Plug into a standard electrical outlet
  5. Turn on using the power switch
  6. Allow 2-3 hours to reach optimal temperature before adding items

Temperature Settings

Most Subcold fridges have an adjustable thermostat. Start at a medium setting and adjust based on your needs. Lower numbers = warmer, higher numbers = cooler.
