Care and Maintenance (Cont.)
Energy saving tips
•
Place the fridge in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances
and out of direct sunlight.
•
Let hot foods cool down a little before placing them into the fridge. Overloading the
fridge forces the compressor to run longer.
•
Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the fridge. This
cuts down on frost build-up inside the fridge.
•
Do not line any fridge storage bin with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper towels.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, reducing cooling efficiency.
•
Do not leave the fridge door open for longer than required.
When away on holidays
•
Short holidays:
leave the fridge operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
•
Long holidays:
if the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food,
unplug the unit and thoroughly clean and dry the interior. To prevent odour and mould
growth, block the door open slightly.
Moving the bar fridge
•
Remove all food from inside the fridge, tape the door shut and securely tape down all
loose items inside. Turn the levelling feet up to the base.
•
We recommend moving the fridge in its original packaging. Otherwise, make sure to
protect the outside of the fridge with a blanket or similar item during transportation.
•
Do not apply force on any external part such as pipes, condenser or door when moving.
•
Ensure the fridge stays secure in an upright position; do not tilt it for more than 45°
from upright.
Switching off the appliance
To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position “0”. If the appliance is
not going to be used for an extended period:
•
Remove all refrigerated
items.
•
Switch
off
the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to position “0”
•
Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect the electricity supply.
•
Clean thoroughly.
•
Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.
•
Once the unit has been turned off, allow the unit to settle down for about 10 minutes
before turning the unit on. This will prevent the compressor from being damaged.
