INSTALLATION
•
Two-person installation: Use two or more people to move and install the appliance.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injuries.
•
Freestanding design: This appliance is designed to be freestanding only and should
not be recessed or built-in.
•
Floor surface: This appliance must be properly positioned on a dry, sturdy, level
surface that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
•
Ambient temperature: The ambient temperatures must correspond to the climate
class ( ST/N ) indicated on the rating plate of the appliance: 16°C - 38°C
•
Clearances: Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet,
which is necessary to cool the compressor and condenser. Allow at least 10cm clear
space at the back, 10cm at the sides of the unit and 30cm between the top and
any surface above (i.e. a benchtop). If you are installing your refrigerator next to a
fixed wall, leave sufficient space on the hinge side to allow for the door to swing
open.
Do not install/use the appliance in the following locations/situations:
•
In moist areas or areas of high humidity
•
In a recreational vehicle or for use with an inverter
•
Indirect sunlight, near heat sources, next to an open flame, cooking or heating
appliance or near any other source of high heat.
•
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase the
unit's power consumption. For best energy efficiency install the appliance in the
coolest area of the room.
•
In an area with extreme cold ambient temperatures.
•
In an area with excessive moisture and high humidity. Make sure it is protected
from elements such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
•
In an area where petrol or other explosive and/or flammable liquids or fumes are
used or stored. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
Electrical Connection
•
WARNING: It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power
supply; the plug must, therefore, be easily accessible after installation.
•
Before plugging in your new bar fridge, let it stand upright for at least 2 hours. This
will allow the refrigerant gases to settle into the compressor and reduce the
possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system.
•
The appliance must be earthed. The plug of the power supply cord is equipped
with a contact for this purpose. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the
