DISPOSAL OF PACKAGING

All the packaging materials with your Husky appliance may be disposed of without danger to the environment. The cardboard carton and polythene wrapper s are recyclable – check with your local authority for the best recycling options. The expanded polystyrene materials included in the packaging can be placed in general waste.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

THIS APPL IANCE M UST BE PLUG GED INTO AN E ARTHE D SOCKET.

• Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that on the rating plate. This appliance is designed to operate on 220~240V AC; 50Hz. Connection to any other power source may damage the appliance

• This appliance may be ﬁtted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be reﬁtted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is found

• If the plug has to be changed, because it not suitable for your socket or becomes damaged in any way, it should be replaced by a qualiﬁed electrician. The plug removed must be disposed of safely as insertion into a 13 Amp socket could cause an electrical hazard

• Always remember to unplug your appliance before cleaning.

HOW TO MINIMISE THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF YOUR HUSKY APPLIANCE

• Locate the coolest area of the room, away from sources of heat, and out of the direct sunlight. One characteristic of thermoelectric units is the length of time it requires to recover from having the door opened and shut frequently. It may be necessary to wait longer for the temperature to return to its former level once the door has been opened for too long. This is normal for this type of unit.

• Energy consumption will be lower if the appliance stands in a well ventilated space and in particular if the vent at the back of the appliance is clear of obstruction

• Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near a heat source such as ovens, radiators, heaters, etc as this will increase energy consumption

• Keep the door closed as much as possible. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the doors from closing properly

• Setting the temperature to a colder temperature means higher energy consumption, so set only as cool as you really require

• Do not overﬁll the appliance - overﬁlling means the cool air cannot circulate freely inside the cabinet which may slow the process of cooling and make the cabinet less efﬁcient

• Turn the appliance off completely if it is not required for a period of days or longer to avoid wasting energy (see also section ‘When your appliance is not in use’).

HANDLING YOUR APPLIANCE

• To lift the appliance safely, tilt it backwards by no more than 45 degrees, hold the base and rear corners of the appliance carefully. Never use the door handles for lifting

• This appliance is heavy and could cause injury. Ensure there are adequate people present to move the appliance

If moving the appliance:

• Remove all bottles

• Securely tape down the loose shelves inside the appliance

• Tape the door shut

• Protect the outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item

• Ensure that the appliance stays in an upright position during transportation.

POSITIONING YOUR APPLIANCE

This appliance is a free standing appliance and should not be built in.

It is recommended that you site the Drinks Cooler in a room where the ambient temperature is maintained between 18º-25ºC/41º-77ºF. If the ambient temperature of the unit is outside this range, particular ly during extreme hot or cold conditions, performance may be affected. It is entirely normal that the temperature on the display ﬂuctuates from the set temperature. This may also occur due to other factors such as opening the door frequently. For this reason it is not suitable to locate the Drinks Cooler in outdoor buildings including conservatories and garages.

• Temperature Range For Your Drinks Cooler:

NOTE: When you use the appliance for the ﬁrst time or restart it after having been turned off for a long time, there may be a few degrees difference between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal. Once the drinks cooler has been running for a few hours the display will stabilise, but will often ﬂuctuate from the temperature set.

• Ensure that the appliance is situated:

• Away from direct sunlight and in a dr y and well-ventilated space

• Away from stoves, ovens, radiators and any other heating appliances

• With a recommendation of at least 15cm clear ance around the appliance

• Do not position the appliance in conservatories or outbuildings with extreme high or low ambient temperatures

• Do not use outdoors or leave in rain

• Do not place anything on your appliance

• The appliance must be used in the vertical position and stand on an even, ﬂat surface for quieter operation

• If your appliance is to be to be placed on carpet, support it with a wooden board underneath. Be aware that placing the appliance on carpet may mean that heat from the compressor may cause the carpet to fade

• Ensure that the plug is easily accessible.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before returning your appliance to where you purchased it from, check the following points as you may be able to solve any problem yourself.

The appliance does not work

Internal temperature too high or low

The temperature is not cold enough

Problem Solution

• Check that the appliance is turned on

• Check power cable is plugged in and that the fuse has not blown

• Check that the voltage is correct for the appliance

• The appliance is overfilled

• Appliance exposed to direct sunlight or heat source

• The door is being opened too often or the door gasket is damaged

• Check that the ambient temperature is within the operational limits of the appliance

• Check that the temperature is set to a suitable temperature .

Unusual noises or noisy operation

Outer surfaces are wet • Water source or leak too near the appliance – dry surfaces thoroughly

and move the appliance

• Inner surfaces are wet

• Caused by condensation – dr y the inside of the appliance

• Door opened too often or kept open too often.

• Check that the appliance is on a flat, level surface and is stable

• Check the clearance around the appliance and that it is not touching any other items

Continued overleaf...

Not achieving temperature set

• The temperature shown on the display is showing the temperature of where the sensor is located. It is perfectly normal operation for the temperature to read a different temperature to the set temperature, as the temperature within the appliance will fluctuate continually.

• Temperature performance is affected by several factors, i.e. how often the door is opened, the ambient temperature, how full the appliance is, etc.

• If the temperature shown is higher than the set temperature, there is no need to reset as the appliance will be continually working to reach the required set temperature.

• Check that there is sufficient ventilation around the unit.
