TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. If the bar fridge does not work:
Check if there is a power failure.
Check if the power plug is plugged into the power outlet.
Check that the R.C.D. has not been tripped.
If ambient temperature is above 40ºC the Thermal
Safety Cut may have operated. Check if unit has
restarted once ambient temperature is below 25ºC.
2. If the bar fridge is cooling excessively:
The temperature control dial may be set too high. If you
place drinks containing a lot of water directly under the
cool air outlets they may freeze. This does not indicate
a malfunction.
3. If the bar fridge is not cooling sufficiently:
The drinks may be packed too tightly together which
will block the flow of cool air. You may have put
something hot or a lot of drinks into the bar fridge.
The door may not have closed properly. There may
be insufficient clearance between the bar fridge and
the other surfaces, both sides, back and above. The
temperature control dial may not be set low enough.
4. If condensation forms on the outside of the bar
fridge:
Small amount of condensation may form on the outside
when the humidity is high. It does not indicate a
malfunction.Wipedrywithacloth.
5. If you hear a sound like water flowing:
A sound like water flowing is the refrigerant flowing. It
does not indicate a malfunction.
6. If the cabinets side and front panel heats up:
The front and side panel of the cabinet will heat up
when the door is opened and closed frequently, when
starting the unit and when the unit operates in summer
with high ambient outside temperature. Do not touch
the front or side panel, it is a result of heat from inside
the cabinet. It does not indicate a malfunction.
