General Safety Instructions (Cont.)

Installation

•  Heavy: 

This appliance is heavy, take care when moving it. To avoid back or other injury, 

consider a two person lift or mechanical aid when installing it.

•  Location: 

The room for installing appliance must be at least 1M³per 8g of refrigerant. The 

amount and type of refrigerant in the appliance can be found on the rating plate inside 

the appliance. 

•  Moisture: 

Install the fridge in an indoor area protected from wind, rain, water spray or 

drips. 

•  Heat: 

Do not install it next to an oven, grill or other source of high heat.

•  Ventilation: 

To ensure proper ventilation, the front of the unit must be completely 

unobstructed. Keep any ventilation openings clear of obstructions. Choose a well 

ventilated area with temperatures above 16˚C and below 32˚C. 

•  Refrigerant circuit: 

Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

•  Level:

 Install the appliance level in order to ensure proper operation.

•  Pipes: 

Make certain that the pipes are not pinched, kinked or damaged during 

installations. Check for leaks after connection.

Electrical safety 

•  Voltage:

 Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage 

stated on the appliance rating label. Plug the bar fridge into a 220-240V, 50Hz, 3-prong, 

power outlet with a 15A fuse at the mains. The outlet must be properly earthed to the 

ground.

•  Separate circuit: 

Do not use an adaptor; do not use an extension cord. We recommend 

you connect the bar fridge to a separate circuit serving only this appliance. This provides 

the best performance and prevents overloading the house wiring circuits that could 

cause a fire hazard from overheating. Use a power point that cannot easily be turned off 

accidentally.

•  Power cord: 

Do not kink or damage the power cord. Do not leave it exposed or dangling. 

Secure it behind the unit so no one steps on or places anything on the cord or against it. 

Never unplug the unit by pulling the cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out 

from the power point.

•  Damaged cord: 

Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length 

or at either end. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or 

its service agent. Contact the after sales support line to have it replaced.

•  Electrical work:

 If the installation of this appliance requires any electrical work, make sure 

it is carried out by a qualified electrician.
