Before using the bar fridge

• 

Remove all packaging materials from around and inside the appliance and 

dispose of them responsibly. Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for 

babies and young children, so ensure all packaging materials are out of their 

reach.

• 

Check to ensure you have all of the following parts: 

1 x Drip tray 

1 x Chiller compartment 

1 x Ice tray 

2 x Glass shelves 

1 x Glass crisper cover  1 x Crisper drawer 

1 x Instruction manual  1 x Warranty card 

2 x Warranty stickers

• 

Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand upright for 

approximately two hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the 

cooling system from handling during transportation.

• 

Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

Installing the bar fridge

• 

This appliance is designed to be freestanding only and should not be recessed 

or built-in.

• 

Place the bar fridge on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully 

loaded. To level the fridge, adjust the levelling feet at the bottom of the fridge.

• 

Leave a 10–15cm clearance between the back and sides of the fridge and 

any wall or other appliance, which allows proper air circulation to cool the 

compressor and condenser.

• 

Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, 

radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources 

may increase power consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may 

also affect fridge performance.

• 

Avoid locating the fridge in moist areas. 

• 

Plug the fridge into an exclusive, properly installed, grounded wall outlet. Do 

not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from 

the power cord. For advice concerning power connection and/or grounding, 

contact a certified electrician or the after sales support line.

• 

After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 

2–3 hours before placing food in the refrigerator compartment.
