Installing the refrigerator:
- Before installing your new fridge, read all safety instructions in this
manual, then follow the instructions below:
- Place the fridge on a sturdy, level oor for quieter operation. Ensure
that the oor is strong enough to support the fridge when it is fully
loaded.
- If the refrigerator is to be placed on a carpet, support it with a
wooden board underneath. Be aware that placing the refrigerator on
the carpet may mean that heat from the compressor may cause the
carpet to fade.
- This appliance is designed to be freestanding only and should not be
recessed or built-in.
- Do not tilt the fridge more than 45° from upright when moving it.
- Avoid areas where the appliance would be exposed to direct sunlight,
sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.), extreme cold ambient
temperatures, or excessive moisture and high humidity. Installing it in
the coolest area of the room will save energy consumption and running
costs.
- Handle with care! Do not apply force to any part such as the
condenser or door. The metal rails on the bottom underneath of this
refrigerator may have sharp edges, so always unpack and handle
with care. Do not drag the unit: place it carefully in position to avoid
scratching the oor.
Space requirements:
- Place the unit so there is enough space for the door to open.
- Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet,
which is necessary to cool the
compressor and condenser. Allow at least 100mm clear space at the
back and 50mm at the sides of the unit.
Leveling:
- The appliance must be installed level in order to work properly. If the
unit is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will not be

MECHANICAL CONTROLLER
The mechanical thermostat temperature control and the LIGHT on/off
switch is located at below places:
Temperature settings:
The settings 0(OFF) - 7(MAX) regulate the interior temperature of the
refrigerator.
Setting 0(OFF) = not operating (Please press the knob and turn to get
the “0” position)
Setting 1(MIN) = lowest setting (warmest internal temperature) Setting
7(MAX) = highest setting (coldest internal temperature)
NOTE: The refrigerator temperature will vary depending on the number
of cans/ bottles stored and on the frequency with which the door
is opened. The internal temperature varies in different parts of the
refrigerator. The back of the refrigerators is the coldest. Please keep the
cans/bottles away from the rear wall to avoid freezing the bottles and
to allow the circulation of cold air.
NOTE: Thermostat 0(OFF) position indicates the refrigerator is turned
off although power is still being supplied. By turning the thermostat
dial to the left, the refrigerator will turn on automatically. When the
refrigerator is not to be used for a long period of time, disconnect the
plug and leave the door partially open.

Retro Fridge - English manual 14
EN
FOODSTORAGE
- The refrigerator compartment is suitable for the short-term storage of
fresh food. The temperature inside varies depending on the amount
of food stored, the ambient temperature, and the frequency of door
opening. Adjust the thermostat accordingly.
- In order to maintain good cooling efciency and save energy, we
recommend you do not open the door for too long or too often. Do
not overload the fridge, and keep enough space around items for cold
airow. Do not block ventilation openings.
- The walls of the fridge are equipped with a series of runners so that
the shelves can be positioned to suit individual storage requirements.
- In order to keep fruit and vegetables fresh in the salad drawer, make
sure they are properly packaged and the cover sits rmly on top of the
salad drawer(applicable model).
- Two wine bottles can be stored conveniently in the shelf-hanging wine
rack. If you do not require this wine rack, or to remove it for cleaning,
pull the shelf that holds the rack completely out of the fridge, then slide
the wine rack off the side of the shelf (applicable model).
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
- Place the fridge in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-
producing appliances and out of direct sunlight.
- Let heated food and beverages cool to room temperature before
placing them into the fridge.
- Do not overload the fridge as it 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.
- Do not line any fridge storage bin with aluminum foil, wax paper, or
paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, reducing cooling
efciency.
- Position food so that air can circulate freely around it.
- Do not leave the fridge door open for longer than required.
- Make sure no food touches the back of the compartment.
- Don’t set the thermostat on exceeding cold temperatures.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: The fridge doesn’t work.
Solution:
- Check that the appliance is switched on.
- Check that there has not been a power cut.
- Check that the plug is not faulty .
- Check that the fuse has not blown.
- Check that the voltage is correct for the appliance.
- Are there any faults with the socket? For this purpose, try the plug
of your appliance by connecting it to a socket which you are sure is
working.
Problem: The temperature inside the appliance is not cold enough.
Solution:
- Check that there is not too much food in the appliance.
- Check that the thermostat is set to a suitable temperature.
- Check that the appliance is not placed in direct sunlight, or too near to
a heating source.
- Check that the ambient temperature is within the operation limits of the
appliance.
- Are the doors of the appliance opened frequently? Once the door is
opened, the humidity found in the air in the room enters the appliance,
especially if the humidity levels in the room are very high. The more
frequently the
door is opened in humid conditions the more chance of the build up of
moisture.
- The door is not closed completely.
- The door gasket does not seal properly.
- The cooler does not have the correct clearances at the sides/back.
Problem: The temperature within the appliance is too cold.
Solution:
- Increase the working temperature by adjusting the thermostat to
a lower setting. The highest setting should only be used as a rapid
cool setting and should only be set 2 hours before a large amount of
food is placed in the fridge. If this is not done the temperature in the
fridge compartment could fall below 0°C as the compressor will run
continuously.

Retro Fridge - English manual 17
EN
Problem: Moisture forms on the inside or outside walls of the fridge.
Solution:
- Hot and humid weather increases the internal rate of frost build—up.
This is normal.
- Open the door less often and make sure it is always properly closed.
Problem:The outer surfaces of the appliance are wet.
Solution:
- Condensation will from on the outside of the cooler if it operates in
moist areas, simply wipe it dry.
Problem: Smell/odour.
Solution:
- Check all the food and drink that is in the fridge is in date and
correctly packaged. If it isn’t then it should be removed immediately or
repackaged. Check for spillages on each shelf, rack and drawer. You
may need to remove the drawers to check that no spillages have settled
underneath them. Spillages that have not been cleaned and have been
left can cause smells and unwanted odours.
Problem: The doors do not close properly.
Solution:
- Ensure there are no obstructions preventing door closure.
- Check the door compartments and shelves are correctly in place.
- Check the door seal is not warped or torn.
- Check the appliance is level.
Problem: Unusual noises.
Solution:
- Check that the appliance is on a at, level surface and is stable.
- Check the spacing’s around the appliance and ensure it is not
touching other items.
- Bubbling and gurgling sound:• This noise is emitted as the
coolant uid ows through the pipes within the system. This is normal.
-Water owing sound: • This is the normal sound of water
owing into the drain trough during the defrosting process.
- If the appliance is operating noisily (compressor noise): This is normal.
This noise indicates that the compressor is operating normally. As the
compressor is being energized, it might run a bit more noisily for a
short period of time.
- Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause popping
and cracking noises.

Retro Fridge - English manual 18
EN
Problem: The fridge door will not open.
Solution:
- If the door has just been opened, leave it for a few minutes to allow
the air pressure to equalise before trying again.
Problem: The compressor runs continuously.
Solution:

- The door is open, or something is obstructing proper door closure.
- The door gaskets are wom, dirty or damaged.
- Large quantities of food have been added to the fridge.
- The room temperature is hotter than usual.
Problem: The external fridge surface is warm.
Solution:
- The exterior walls can be warmer than room temperature. This is
normal while the compressor works to transfer heat from inside
the fridge cabinet.
GOING AWAY?
- Short vacation: Leave the fridge operating during vacations of less
than a month.
- Long vacation: If you are not going to use the fridge for longer
periods, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry
the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the
door open slightly, blocking it open, if necessary. (Restrict children’s
access to the room with the open fridge to avoid creating a child
entrapment risk.)
