Frequently Asked Questions - SG1R-SD Rhino

What is the recommended way to clean stainless steel surfaces on the Rhino SG1R-SD?

Clean with hot drinking water and a soft cloth. For stubborn marks, use fine steel wool (grade 0000) carefully. After cleaning, dry thoroughly and apply a thin layer of olive oil with a clean rag, then buff to a non-oily finish.

How often should I apply olive oil to the stainless steel?

Every 3-4 months, or more frequently if the fridge is in a damp or coastal environment. This helps prevent corrosion and keeps the brushed finish looking new.

What should I do if I see rust spots on the stainless steel?

Rust is often surface-level (tea-staining). Wipe off with hot water and fine steel wool if needed. Dry thoroughly and reapply olive oil as a protective layer.

Can I install this fridge outdoors?

The Rhino SG1R-SD is designed for indoor use only. Outdoor exposure can accelerate corrosion of stainless steel and damage electrical components.

What is the temperature range of the SG1R-SD bar fridge?

The adjustable thermostat allows a range of approximately 0°C to 10°C, ideal for storing beverages and fresh food.

How do I reverse the door swing on this fridge?

The door hinges are reversible. Refer to the user manual for step-by-step instructions. Typically, you remove the hinge covers, unscrew hinges, swap the door, and reattach hinges on the opposite side.

Why is my fridge making unusual noises?

Normal sounds include a soft hum from the compressor and occasional gurgling from refrigerant flow. If you hear loud rattling or clicking, check that the fridge is level and that internal items are secure.

How much electricity does the SG1R-SD consume?

Typical annual energy consumption is around 100-200 kWh, depending on ambient temperature and usage. It is designed to be energy-efficient for a bar fridge.

Can I store carbonated beverages inside?

Yes, but avoid overfilling. Ensure bottles are upright to prevent leaks. The adjustable shelves can accommodate standard cans and bottles.

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION

CARE AND PROTECTION OF STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES

Your Bar Fridge features Stainless Steel components, using 304 and/or 201, 430 or 418 grade Stainless Steels. All Stainless Steel grades require a level of care and protection to retain their appearance. Stainless Steel is not immune to corrosion and neither are they maintenance-free, contrary to popular public perception. Even the highest marine grade 316 Stainless Steel can rust without care, they require frequent cleaning with fresh water to avoid oxidation and other corrosive issues.

Modern tastes dictate that your Alfresco Bar Fridge or BBQ features Stainless Steel with a brushed finish. This brushed finish is attained by running Stainless Steel sheets through an abrasive process that removes the ‘mirror finish’ to leave it ‘brushed’. Brushed finish Stainless Steel requires frequent cleaning and care, to maintain its quality of appearance. Without adequate care it is realistic to expect that it will show signs of corrosion in time, that is 100% guaranteed.

Stainless Steel is definitely not a maintenance-free material. Cleanliness and Stainless Steel are closely related.

After installation, we recommend that owners apply a thin layer of Olive Oil with a clean rag, to all exposed Stainless Steel areas. This should then be polished in and buffed off with another clean rag to a non-oily finish. This process will aid protection against dirt and other corrosive contaminants, by providing a temporary food-safe shield. The Olive Oil layer also makes later polishing and removal of fingerprints easier. This process should be repeated frequently every 3-4 months.

A lot of times rust that first appears is just ‘surface rust (tea straining)’, this will simply wipe off with hot ‘drinking/tap’ water and very fine steel wool if needed. When you wipe clean dry with clean cloth and add olive oil coating.

You must take into account with your purchase that to look after stainless steel will have added costs and time needed to periodically maintain.

Look after your investment carefully and it will serve you well for many years to come.
