- Make sure there is sufficient space to open the door.

• This cooling unit is not intended for use as a built-in appliance.
• Select a place with a strong, level floor.
• Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating. Heat sources nearby will cause higher electricity consumption.
• Avoid very moist places. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form very quickly on the evaporator, and your refrigerator.
• Before connecting your refrigerator to the power supply, check that the voltage stated on the rating label of your appliance corresponds to the voltage in your home. A different voltage could damage the appliance.
• The plug is the only way to disconnect the device from the power supply, make sure it is always easily accessible. To disconnect power to the device, turn off the device and then unplug it.
• After installation, leave the fridge for 12 hours before turning it on. This way the refrigerant can settle.
• Allow the appliance to run empty for 3 hours begore filling.
• You can level the appliance using the adjustable legs. The adjustable legs can be adjusted by screwing them in or out of the appliance.

- The climate class indicates the minimum and maximum ambient temperature for the proper operation of an appliance. You can find the climate class on the type plate on the inside or back of the appliance.

• SN: Subnormal: ambient temperature between 10^ C and 32^ C
• N: Normal: ambient temperature between 16°C and 32°C
• ST: Subtropical: ambient temperature between 16°C and 38°C
• T: Tropical: ambient temperature between 16°C and 43°C

DOOR CONVERSION

If you need to hinge your door on the opposite side, it is recommended that you call your local authorised service agent to make this conversion or ask a technician. Before you reverse the door, you should ensure the appliance is unplugged and empty.

1. Remove the protective cap from the hinge. On the other side, remove the cover plate. Inside the door, remove the rubber cover cap at the top.
2. Remove the 3 screws from the top hinge. Remove the top hinge. You can then lift the door off the lower hinge. Place the door somewhere it is safe from becoming scratched. When you change the door-opening direction, we recommend that you also rotate the rubber seal around the door. This ensures the door seals perfectly when you replace it.
3. Tilt the appliance, unscrew the feet and remove the 3 screws in the bottom hinge. Now remove the hinge.
4. Use the 3 screws to securely attached the hinge on the other side of the fridge. Screw the feet back into their holes.
5. Put the appliance back on its feet. You can now fit the door back on the bottom hinge. Securely attach the door to the top hinge by screwing the 3 screws into their holes. Cover the top hinge and screw holes with the cover plates. Ensure that the rubber door seal is fitted properly. Now place the rubber cover cap in the hole at the top right.
6. Make sure you leave the appliance in the upright position for 12 hours before switching it on again. This allows the coolant to settle.

USE

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

TThe fridge is controlled by a temperature controller located inside the appliance at the bottom right. Adjust the control knob as desired to suit your individual preference. The higher the number, the colder the temperature. Position 3 is the recommended position for normal use.

• In the OFF position the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off), but power supply is not interrupted.
• The running time and temperature are affected by where the fridge is located, how often the door is opened and the temperature of the room the fridge is located in.
• The higher up in your appliance, the warmer.
• Leaving the door open for a long time can significantly increase the temperature inside the appliance.

LIGHTING

The lighting in the fridge is a LED light. LED lights are more ecological and manufactured for a long life. For this reason, these may not be replaced. If there is a problem with the lighting, contact a qualified service centre in your area.

The lighting inside the appliance is controlled by a light switch. It is located at the top on the right-hand side.

MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE

If the appliance is turned off for any reason, wait for 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting.

• Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the mains socket. Empty the fridge. Also remove all shelves.
• Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.

VACATION

For short vacation periods, leave the control knobs at their usual settings. During longer absences:

• Empty the fridge.
• Disconnect from electrical outlet.
• Clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including defrost pan.
• Leave the door open to avoid possible formations of condensate, mould or odours.

SOME IMPORTANT RULES FOR THE CORRECT USE OF THE REFRIGERATOR

• This bar fridge is for cooling and chilling drinks only.
• Beverages should be stored in sealed containers.
• Don't open the door unless necessary.

- An empty fridge consumes more energy. After all, when the door is opened, warm air enters the space and needs to be cooled. More air enters when there are fewer products, meaning that more energy needs to be consumed to cool that air. So fill your fridge properly or choose a model sized for your needs.

ATTENTION :

• Not for outer camping use (e.g. in a tent).
• For indoor use only.
• The appliance can not be used in public transportation.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
• Turn the appliance off. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
  • Take out the food and store in a cool location.
• Clean the appliance with a soft cloth, warm water and detergent.
• Wipe the door seal with clear water only and then wipe dry thoroughly.
  • After cleaning, put the plug in the socket and set the desired temperature.
• Put the food back into the appliance.

There is water on the floor.	The condensation duct is blocked. See the chapter on cleaning.Too much condensation has formed in the fridge, causing the reservoir to overflow. Too much condensation is caused by a heat difference. Is the door closed properly? Were hot drinks placed in the fridge? Does the seal still close properly?
The door does not close properly.	The door seal is deformed. Heat it gently using a hairdryer. The rubber seal will become flexible and the magnetic strip in the rubber will automatically pull towards the appliance. After cooling, the rubber stays in that position.
