3.  Methods of Safe Installation 

 
Place the Retro Fridge on a strong and level floor. Unstable installation can produce noise 
and vibration. 
 
Place your Retro Fridge  where there is no heat source nearby. High atmosphere 
temperatures will lower cooling efficiency.  
 
Place the Retro Fridge in an area where the humidity level is low. Splashing water in the 
Retro Fridge or installing the unit in a humid area may cause a short circuit and rust. 
 
Avoid places that are exposed to coal, gas or smoke as discolouring may occur on the Retro 
Fridge. 
 
For good ventilation keep enough space between the side walls and your Retro Fridge. 
Leave at least a 50mm gap between the back of the fridge and any wall, and 50mm gap on 

top. Leave ample space to open the fridge door, as the door needs to open past 90 degrees 
to be able to slide out the glass shelves and Vegetable Drawer. 
 
Placing the Retro Fridge  on carpet may cause a temperature rise, and result in 

discolouration of the carpet. In such a case, place a hard wooden board or rubber mat 
between the carpet and the unit. 
 

Installation Steps 

 

 

Select a safe place to install your Retro Fridge. 

 

 

Level the Retro Fridge by using the adjustable feet. 
 

 

Install the parts in their correct position. 
 

 

Check if the door is completely closed. 
 

 

Wait for 2 hours  before plugging the power cord in  to  the  power point and 
switching on.  

 

4.  How to Operate 

 

Starting Your New Retro Fridge 

 

 

Clean the Retro Fridge thoroughly. Wipe the outside with a dry cloth, and the 
inside with a damp cloth. 

 

 

Set the Temperature control (thermostat). 
 

 

Connect to the power supply and switch on.
