3. Methods of Safe Installation
Place the Retro Fridge on a strong and level floor. Unstable installation can produce noise
and vibration.
Place your Retro Fridge where there is no heat source nearby. High atmosphere
temperatures will lower cooling efficiency.
Place the Retro Fridge in an area where the humidity level is low. Splashing water in the
Retro Fridge or installing the unit in a humid area may cause a short circuit and rust.
Avoid places that are exposed to coal, gas or smoke as discolouring may occur on the Retro
Fridge.
For good ventilation keep enough space between the side walls and your Retro Fridge.
Leave at least a 50mm gap between the back of the fridge and any wall, and 50mm gap on
top. Leave ample space to open the fridge door, as the door needs to open past 90 degrees
to be able to slide out the glass shelves and Vegetable Drawer.
Placing the Retro Fridge on carpet may cause a temperature rise, and result in
discolouration of the carpet. In such a case, place a hard wooden board or rubber mat
between the carpet and the unit.
