GVA GVABF117, Instruction Manual

Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures when 

using an electrical appliance, including the following:

Electrical safety 

• 

Plug the bar fridge into a 220-240V, 50Hz, 3-prong power outlet that is properly 

earthed to the ground in accordance with Australian standards and local codes. 

Do not remove the grounding prong. If unsure, consult a qualified technician. 

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electric shock.

• 

The outlet voltage and circuit frequency must correspond to the voltage stated 

on the appliance rating label.

• 

Do not use an adaptor; do not use an extension cord. 

• 

We strongly recommend you connect the bar fridge to a separate circuit 

serving only this appliance. This provides the best performance and also 

prevents overloading the house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard 

from overheating.

• 

Use a power point that cannot easily be turned off accidentally by a switch or 

pull chain.

• 

Do not kink, pinch or damage the power cord. Position the cord out of the 

way so no one steps on or places anything on the cord or against it. Secure the 

cord behind the unit so it is not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental 

injury.

• 

Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length 

or at either end. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the 

manufacturer or its service agent. Contact the after sales support line.

• 

Never unplug the unit by pulling the power cord; always grip the plug firmly 

and pull straight out from the socket. 

• 

Any electrical work required for the installation of this appliance should be 

carried out by a qualified electrician.  

Cleaning and maintenance

• 

Unplug the bar fridge or disconnect the power before cleaning or servicing. 

Failure to do so can result in electric shock, injury or death. Do not connect or 

disconnect the electric plug with wet hands.

• 

Never clean this appliance with flammable fluids. Do not store or use petrol or 

other flammable vapours or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. 

The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
