II. INSTALLING AND SWITCHING ON YOUR APPLIANCE
•
Operating voltage for your appliance is 230-240V at 50Hz.
•
Before plugging in the power supply, ensure that the voltage on the rating label corresponds to the working voltage
of your electrical system in your home.
•
Insert the plug into an efficient Ground (Earth) connection. If the socket has no Ground (Earth) contact or the plug
does not match, we suggest you call an authorised electrician for assistance.
•
Place your appliance in an area that is not exposed to direct sunlight.
•
Your appliance should be placed at least 10cm away from stoves, ovens and other heating cores.
•
This appliance should never be used outdoors or left in the rain.
•
When your appliance is placed next to a chest freezer or freezer, there should be at least 10cm between them to
prevent humidity on the outer surface.
•
The appliance must be used in the vertical position and on a flat surface.
•
To level the appliance, use the adjustable feet on the appliance.
•
Do not place your appliance on a carpeted surface as this will prevent adequate ventilation.
•
This appliance should only be placed on a flat, firm surface.
•
Choose a dry and well-ventilated space.
•
The appliance should be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.
BEFORE SWITCHING ON
•
Before using your appliance, add a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to warm water and with a damp cloth
wipe down all parts of the new appliance, then repeat the process with a clean damp cloth and dry (ensure
the appliance is not connected to the power when performing this task).
•
Remove all transport tapes and foam protection pieces. Clean the interior with a cloth dampened in lukewarm
soap and water. Wipe with clean water and wipe dry.
•
There may be an odour when you first switch on the appliance, it will disappear when the appliance starts to
cool.
•
When the appliance has been positioned, adjust the feet to ensure the unit is stable. This is essential to ensure
quiet running and proper door opening /closing.
•
Connect to the electrical socket but do not switch the power to the cooler on for at least 3 hours. The coolant
within the product needs time to settle after it has been transported and put in to position, failure to do this
will affect the cooling performance of your appliance.
•
Once the appliance has settled turn on the appliance, locate the temperature controls on the product and set
it to the required temperature.
•
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped to the cooling system and
through the coils or tubing at the rear of the appliance. When the compressor is in operation you may hear a
slight whirring sound or pulsating noise. The temperature controls regulate the operation of the compressor,
and you may hear a slight click as it cycles in and out (this is normal).
•
To save energy, you should minimize the frequency and duration of door opening.
