refrigerant and cyclopentane as insulation blowing gas. While isobutane (R600a) is a gas with a high level
of environmental compatibility, it is nevertheless flammable. Do not expose the appliance to high heat,
sparks and open flames. During transport and installation, ensure that none of the components of the
refrigerant circuit become damaged.

circuit! If the refrigerant circuit becomes damaged, avoid proximity to open fires and all types of heat and
ignition sources. Thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is located. The room for installing
the appliance must be at least 1m³ per 8g of refrigerant. The amount and type of refrigerant in the
appliance can be found in the Technical Specifications on the ‘Basic Instructions Page’ and on the appliance
rating plate.

Installation specifications for built-in purposes.
When unit is being ‘recessed’ into a wall cavity please allow min clearance of 40mm each side and 150mm
at rear. Units vent through front but space is needed at rewar to allow hot air to escape, space is needed at
sides as door ‘opens’ outside it’s diameter.
Unpacking and cleaning the cooler
Remove the exterior and interior packing materials.
Let the appliance stand upright for approximately 2 hours before connecting it to the power source,
which helps to reduce the possibility of a cooling-system malfunction from handling during
transportation.
Use a soft cloth to clean the interior surface with lukewarm water.
Install the door handle provided with the appliance by following these steps:
Step 1 －Remove the gasket at the inner side of the door
to expose the two screw holes, pinching as close as possible to frame to lift out slowly
Step 2 －Install the handle tightly with the screws
and washers provided.
Step 3 －Tidy and restore the gasket.
Storage inside the cabinet
-It is not recommended to store blood or special pharmaceuticals in the fridge, it is not a medical fridge.
-Keep drinks at least 1cm away from walls to allow air flow and to stop bottles freezing on back wall close
to ‘cold-plate’.

Trouble Shooting / Basic Info
There are basic things you need to look and check before trying to initiate a technician call out for warranty
circumstances.
Noise
If you unit has become noisy, please check the following;
- Can you ascertain exactly where the noise is coming from? It may be a loose screw or part of the
fridge that is now vibrating and is easy to fix.
- Is the compressor / fridge level, a compressor not level will make a ‘clunking’ noise on start-up
and shut down.
- Does the fan sound noisy? It may be as simple as needing slight adjustment.
- Fans are located inside and behind unit at rear in bottom section, on inner check for ‘ice’ build up
around the fan area or where the air circulates through the slots in rear wall.
Not Cooling
All of a sudden unit has stopped cooling.
- Does the compressor run? Make sure compressor is running, if it is running, and your temp setting
is as you had it, and you have a warm fridge (room temp) then there more than likely is a gas
problem and technician will be needed.
- Do the inner and rear fans run, check fans are running
- Check for error display on the controller E1 and E2 mean cabinet temperature sensor is faulty, E3
and E4 mean evaporator sensor is faulty. HH will display if temp has risen too high and LL will
display if temp has dropped too low, this means there will be a problem to diagnose, an alarm
will sound.
- Have you got the thermostat set correct? Or has it been altered, sometimes inquisitive children
or adults may play with controller settings
- Is your door sealing properly, check all the way around door seal to make sure it is seating correct
on fridge body, small gaps won’t affect cooling.
