packaging materials are out of their reach.
•Check to ensure you have all the parts listed on the 'Guide to the Appliance' page, plus
aninstruction manual and a warranty certificate.
•Read this manual to familiarise yourself with all the parts. Pay particular attention to the
safety instructions on the previous pages.
•Unwind the cord to its full length and inspect it for damage. Do not use the appliance if
the appliance or its cord have been damaged. In case of damage, contact our after sales
support line for advice on examination, repair or return of the damaged product.
•Make sure the refrigerator is disconnected from the power supply before cleaning the
interior surfaces with lukewarm water using a soft cloth to remove any dust from transit
and storage. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
•Your refrigerator has the capability of the door opening from the right or left side. If your
setup requires reversal of the door swing, follow the instructions on page 10.
•Your new beverage fridge is now ready for use – see page 9for set up instructions.
Installing the refrigerator
•Before installing your new upright beverage 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 built in.
•Place the beverage 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 beverage center will affect cold air circulation and cooling
performance. We therefore recommend you only load the beverage center 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.

•Locate the beverage fridge
• Away from direct sunlight, which may aect the acrylic coating.
•Away from sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, dishwasher, etc.), which may increase
power consumption.
•In an area without extreme cold ambient temperatures, which may affect cooling
performance.
• In a cool, well ventilated area, without excessive moisture and high humidity.
•Installing the unit in the coolest area of the room will save energy consumption and
running costs.
•To ensure correct operation, this appliance must not be located where the temperature
will be below 16°C or above 32°C.
• Ensure there are no obstructions that could prevent the refrigerator door from closing.
• To level the unit, adjust the levelling legs at the bottom of the unit.
•The beverage fridge must have at least 50mm clearance between the rear of the
appliance and the wall, 100mm between the sides and wall, and the space above the top
should be at least 100mm. Ensure that there is enough spacing to open the door to 160°.
•Before plugging in your new beverage fridge, let it stand upright for approximately
2 hours. This will allow the refrigerant gases to settle into the compressor and reduce the
possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
• The beverage fridge is suitable for connection to 220-240VAC 50Hz supply. The refrigerator
must be plugged into a dedicated individual 220-240VAC main socket outlet.
