Responsible disposal of the packaging
•The packaging of your appliance has been selected from environmentally friendly materials
and can usually be recycled. Please ensure these are disposed of correctly.
•Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, please ensure
all packaging materials are out of reach and are safely disposed of. Please ensure they are
offered for recycling rather than throwing these materials away.
Responsible disposal of the appliance
•At the end of its working life, do not throw this appliance out with your household rubbish.
An environmentally friendly method of disposal will ensure that valuable raw materials can
be recovered and used again.
•Electrical and electronic appliances contain materials and substances which, if handled or
disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous on the environment and human
health.
•Observe any local regulations regarding the disposal of electrical consumer goods and
dispose of it appropriately for recycling and recovery of the refrigerant. This appliance
contains the flammable refrigerant isobutane (R600a) and cyclopentane (R141b) in the
cabinet insulation, and must be disposed of in a separate waste collection. Contact your
local authorities for advice on recycling facilities in your area.
•Take care not to damage the pipework at the back of the appliance before or during

Installing the bar fridge
•Before installing your new upright bar fridge, read all safety instructions in this manual,
especially the sections on electrical safety and installation . Then follow the instructions
below.
•This appliance is designed to be freestanding only and should not be recessed or builtin.
•Place the bar fridge on a sturdy, level floor that is strong enough to support the unit when
it is fully loaded.
•DO NOT install the appliance directly on carpeting or soft material. Carpeting must be
removed or protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the appliance, which extends at
least the full width and depth of the appliance. NOTE: Ensure that the appliance does not
stand on the electrical supply cable. Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Whenever
possible , the back of the appliance should be close to a wall but leaving the required
distance for ventilation.
Overloading the fridge will affect cold air circulation and cooling performance. We
therefore recommend you only load the fridge up to about 70% of its storage volume,
always leave some space around food stored, and do not use containers that are too
large and block ventilation openings.

fridge when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 5mm thick.
How？Turn the thermostat dial to the [0] position and unplug the bar fridge. Remove
perishable food items from the fridge and keep them in another fridge or cooler bag to
protect the food.
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. After defrosting, dry the food compartments and
return the thermostat dial to the desired position.
To defrost quickly, remove all foods from the fridge and leave the door open.
CAUTION: Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. Never use
a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling
system. Use a plastic scraper, if required.
Cleaning the bar fridge
•CAUTION: Before cleaning the fridge, make sure to turn the temperature control to the
[0] position, unplug the bar fridge and remove the food and shelves.
•Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution
should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1.2L of water. Wring excess water out
of the sponge or cloth before cleaning around the temperature control or any electrical
parts.
•Clean the shelves and inside fridge, as well as the outside of the fridge, with a mild
detergent solution and warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
•Never use acids, chemical thinners, petrol, benzene or thelike for cleaning any part of
the bar fridge.
•It is advisable to periodically clean the refrigeration system at the back of the appliance
with a duster or vacuum cleaner.
Power failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature
of your fridge if you minimise the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going
to be off for a longer period of time, take appropriate steps to protect your food.

•Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect the electricity supply.
Switching off the appliance
Energy saving tips
•Place the fridge in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances
and out of direct sunlight.
•Let hot foods cool down a little before placing them into the fridge. Overloading the
fridge forces the compressor to run longer.
•Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the fridge. This
cuts down on frost build-up inside the fridge.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, reducing cooling efficiency.
•Do not line any fridge storage bin with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper towels.
•Do not leave the fridge door open for longer than required.
When away on holidays
•Short holidays: leave the fridge operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
•Long holidays: if the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food,
unplug the unit and thoroughly clean and dry the interior. To prevent odour and mould
growth, block the door open slightly.
Moving the bar fridge
•Remove all food from inside the fridge, tape the door shut and securely tape down all
loose items inside. Turn the levelling feet up to the base.
•We recommend moving the fridge inits original packaging. Otherwise, make sure to
protect the outside of the fridge with a blanket or similar item during transportation.
•Do not apply force on any external part such as pipes, condenser or door when moving.
•Ensure the fridge stays secure in an upright position; do not tiltit for more than 45 °
