Bottle Cooler

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this
Lec appliance that has been made
from the very best materials
available and has been
extensively tested and inspected
before leaving our factory. This
Bottle Cooler has been
specifically designed to store
bottled and canned drinks and
when properly installed and cared
for, will give years of good
service.

UNPACKING

Please remove all internal
packing. When unpacked is
complete the appliance should
stand for 2 hours to allow coolant
to settle.

POSITIONING

In order to conserve electricity do
not put your appliance near a
source of heat, such as a
radiator. Try to avoid locations
where the sun shining through
glass can raise the room
temperature.

An unheated location such as a
cellar is undesirable as it may
cause frost build up and slow
defrosting. It may also cause
excessive condensation on the
outer surface of your cabinet.

INSTALLATION

It is important to note that the
appliance can be installed
built-in, without air gaps as the
appliance has been designed to
gain ventilation from the front.
The air ventilation at the bottom
of the cabinet must be
unobstructed to allow air to
circulate around the cabinet. The
Bottle Cooler is also fitted with
adjustable feet on the front. If the
cabinet is placed on an uneven
surface this can cause
misalignment of the cabinet and
doors. The feet must be adjusted
so that the cabinet stands firm
and level, with a slight tilt from
front to back to prevent any
defrost water dripping from the
front. The cabinet should be
placed on a hard flat surface for
ventilation.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE
STARTING

Clean the interior of your
appliance (See the section
"Cleaning your Appliance").

SAFETY AND SERVICING

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED

If this appliance is fitted
with a non-rewirable plug
for which your socket is
unsuitable the plug should
be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted.
The removed plug must be
disposed of as insertion of
the plug into an electrical
socket is likely to be
dangerous.

ELECTRIC PLUG WIRING (UK
ONLY)

The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the
following code:

GREEN AND YELLOW - EARTH

BLUE - NEUTRAL

BROWN - LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the
mains lead of your appliance may
not correspond with the coloured
marking identifying the terminals
in your plug, proceed as follows:

CONNECT GREEN & YELLOW
coloured wire to plug terminal

marked ‘E’ or earth symbol or
coloured green or green and
yellow.
CONNECT BLUE coloured wire to
plug terminal marked ‘N’ or
coloured black.
CONNECT BROWN coloured wire
to plug terminal marked ‘L’ or
coloured red.

Do not push excess mains lead
into the compressor
compartment.

If it is necessary to change the
fuse in a moulded plug and the
fuse cover is detachable, it must
be refitted after the fuse has
been changed. If the fuse cover is
lost or damaged the plug must
not be used until a replacement
is obtained.

It is important that the colour of
the replacement fuse cover
corresponds with the coloured
insert or as indicated in
embossed words on the base of
the plug. Replacement fuse
covers are available from the
Spares Department, Lec
Refrigeration plc. at the address
on the rear cover of this leaflet.

When a non-rewirable plug or a
rewirable 13 Amp (BS 1363) plug
is used it must be fitted with a
13 Amp ASTA approved (BS 1362)
fuse. If any other type of plug is
used it must be protected by a 15
Amp fuse either in the plug or at
the distribution board.

RADIO INTERFERENCE: This
appliance complies with current
British and European Standards
and CE Directives.

STARTING

When unpacking and cleaning are
complete plug the mains lead of
your appliance into a suitable
earthed socket and switch on. It
is essential when using the
appliance for the first time that
you run the appliance for 24
hours before loading to make
sure it's working properly.

COLD CONTROL

The temperature of your
appliance is controlled by the
electronic control (thermostat).

The internal temperature of your
appliance is affected by location,
room temperature, and frequency
of opening the door. The factory
settings of the electronic control
(thermostat) are set to allow for
these conditions. This appliance
is designed to operate in ambient
temperatures between 16°C and
32°C. Operating outside of these
temperature parameters may
cause the appliance to perform
out of specification.

Adjusting the factory settings of
the Electronic Control is not
recommended. However, should
you wish to do so, details relating
to the operation of the Electronic
Control are contained in the
instructions supplied with this
user manual.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL

button to exist the
adjustment and display
the cold room
temperature.

 If no more buttons is

pressed within 10
seconds, the cold room
temperature is displayed.

2. Refrigerant LED: During
refrigeration, the LED is on;

cannot be installed in the area
with water drops.

SHELVES

The Bottle Cooler is fitted with
adjustable shelves that can be
moved to suit your storage
needs. The support clips are
removed by pressing them
together and tilting them
upwards. On two door models,
when replacing clip ensure that
the clips with shelf stops are
positioned on the centre rails in
the cabinet, also ensure that all
clips are level before replacing
shelves.

DOORS

The door is opened by means of
a handle screwed onto the front
of the door or (on sliding door
models) a vertical handle on each
glass door. These doors are fitted
with a self closing mechanism for
your convenience. Should for any
reason, the self closing
mechanism fail, to close the door
apply a gentle pressure until the
magnetic door gasket seals
against the cabinet face.

Do not "slam close". Check
periodically to see that there are
no gaps between the gasket and
the cabinet face as this will cause
the cabinet to operate less
efficiently.

DEFROSTING

The Bottle Cooler has an
automatic defrost system that
requires no special operations on
the part of the user. The on / off
cooling cycles of the appliance
are specifically designed to allow
for defrost during normal
operation.
Note:- Clean and dry thoroughly
before switching “ON” (as in
“Cleaning your Appliance”)

INTERNAL LIGHT

The coolers are fitted with
internal fluorescent lights that
can be switched on and off using
the switch located at the bottom
of the cabinet. The light should
be turned off whenever it is not
required, in order to save energy.

Should the light bulb need
replacing first turn off the power
supply and remove the plug from
the socket.

The light bulb is rotated ¼ turn to
align the connector pins and then
moved carefully to free it from its
sockets. Replace the bulb with an
equivalent 8Watt or 15Watt (or in
some cases 4W) bulb and rotate it
¼ turn to lock it in position.

Locate the cover into the recess
of the light housing and feed its’
edge into place in the bottom
flange.

Plug in and restart the appliance.

CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

Your appliance is easy to keep
clean. Regular cleaning is
important for health reasons.

clean and polish the cabinet in
one easy application. DO NOT use
an aerosol polish as the spray
may damage plastic parts.

Interior:
Before using for the first time,
and when required, the interior of
your appliance should be wiped
with a soft cloth dampened with a
solution of one teaspoonful of
Bicarbonate of soda to one litre
of warm water. Rinse with clean
warm water, and dry thoroughly.

DO NOT use soaps, wire wool,
scouring powder or disinfectants
of any kind.

Periodically clean the gasket to
prevent a build up of beer and
sugar liquids.

See that vibration noises are not
caused by the cabinet being on
an uneven surface. Adjust the
levelling foot.

SAFETY NOTES

cabinet, break off any latches and
remove doors, dispose of the
doors separately and safely.

appliance be changed for any
reason, it must be replaced by a
special lead (Part No. E 2622)

back page of the instructions.

The light cover is made from
flexible polycarbonate. To
remove it, starting at one end,
gently free it from the bottom
flange towards the rear of the
cabinet and then pull it
downwards.

The starter for the light is located
to the left of the light bulb and if
necessary may be removed by
giving it a ¼ turn and pulling it
from its socket.
