Important Safety Instructions
Installation
• Heavy: This appliance is heavy, take care when moving it. To avoid back or other
injury, consider a two person lift or mechanical aid when installing it.
• Moisture: Install the appliance in an indoor area protected from wind, rain, water
spray or drips.
• Heat: Do not install it next to an oven, grill or other source of high heat.
• Ventilation: To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the
unit must be completely unobstructed. Keep any ventilation openings clear of
obstructions. Choose a well ventilated area with temperatures above 16˚C and
below 32˚C.
• Refrigerant circuit: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• Level: Install the appliance level in order to ensure it works properly.
• Pipes: Make certain that the pipes are not pinched, kinked or damaged during
installations. Check for leaks after connection.
Electrical safety
• Voltage: Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the
voltage stated on the appliance rating label. Plug the bar fridge into a 220-240V,
50Hz, 3-prong, power outlet with a 15A fuse at the mains. The outlet must be
properly earthed to the ground.
• Separate circuit: Do not use an adaptor; do not use an extension cord. We recommend you connect the appliance 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 re hazard from overheating. Use a power point that
cannot easily be turned o accidentally.
• Power cord: Do not kink or damage the power cord; do not leave it exposed or
dangling. Secure it at the back so no one steps on or places anything on the cord
or against it. Never unplug the unit by pulling the power cord. Always grip the
plug rmly and pull straight out from the power point.
• Damaged cord: Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along
its length or at either end. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer or its service agent. Contact the after sales support line to have
it replaced.
• Electrical work: If the installation of this appliance requires any electrical work,
make sure it is carried out by a qualied electrician.

Appliances must not be exposed to rain. Sucient air must be allowed to circulate in the
lower rear section of appliances, as poor air circulation can aect performance. Built-in
appliances should be positioned away from heat sources such as heaters and radiators and
out of direct sunlight. Behind the appliance there should be a free space of at least 3in.
Kitchen units (e.g. cupboards) should be at least 2 inch. away from the appliance in order to
assure adequate ventilation. There should be 4 inch. between both sides of the appliance
and other obstacles.

For optimal use of the refrigerator compartment observe the following instructions:
1. Never put hot liquids or food in the refrigerator;
2. Cover or wrap food prior to storage
3. Arrange food so that air can circulate freely inside the compartment.
Meat (all types): Wrap in protective material and store time should be less than two days
Cooked food, cold meals etc. must be covered well and stored in proper position in the
refrigerator.
Fruit and vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the relative drawer.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator unless wrapped
rst.
Storing frozen food/freezing fresh food
Appliances with compartments can be used to store frozen food for a maximum time of one
month.
1. The interval between purchase and placing the food in the freezer should be as short as
possible.
2. Never exceed the storage period indicated on the food packaging.
3. Only open the freezer door when necessary and as quick as possible.
After prolonged periods turned o, switch on the appliance under no-load conditions for 2-3
hours taking care to set the thermostat knob to the highest setting, then place food in the
refrigerator as required and adjust the thermostat knob to an intermediate setting.
IMPORTANT
If food stored in the compartment is defrosted, e.g. due to a
power failure, it should be consumed within a short time, even
if not completely thawed.
Ice
The appliance is supplied with an ice tray to make ice. If the ice
tray freezes onto the compartment, never use metal and/or
sharp objects to detach the tray from the compartment.
Food Storage

Maintenance
The care required for best performance, such as
1. Loadings in the refrigerating appliance should not exceed its storage volume. If the
fridge was stopped for a long time (due to interruption of power supply or failure of the
refrigerating system), the frozen food (fresh food) should be disposed.
2. It is better to separate the food when storing, to avoid cross-contamination.
3. Some types of fresh vegetables and fruits are sensitive to cold; therefore they are not
suitable for storage in chill compartment.
Defrosting food
For optimal cooking results with frozen food, we recommend defrosting inside the
refrigerator or at ambient temperature, the latter obviously required less time. If you need to
save time and cook food in the shortest time, you can cook small items directly from frozen
by lengthening the cooking time slightly, or put the big size items in a microwave oven to
reduce the defrosting time.
Defrosting the appliance
Frost on the inner cooling walls of the refrigerator is eliminated automatically every time the
motor compressor is shut down. Water from melted frost is collected by means of a water
tray installed underneath the evaporator at the upside of the unit. Periodically empty the
defrost water from the water tray.
Frost should be removed from the freezer compartment once it reaches a thickness of over
3-4 mm. Never use metal objects to remove the ice as it could damage the appliance.
Refrigerator Lamp
The central section of the thermostat box is tted with a lamp for internal lighting. If
replacement is required, disconnect the appliance from the
power supply, remove the protection grille from the thermostat
unit and unscrew the lamp. Replace with a lamp (10W max.)
of the same voltage; ret the grille on the thermostat unit to
complete the replacement.
Prolonged periods of no use
If you do not intend to use the appliance for long periods of
time. Set the thermostat knob to the “OFF” or “0” position and
disconnect the power supply. Then take out the food, defrost
and clean the appliance. Leave the door slightly open.
