DISPOSAL OF OLD APPLIANCES
BE SURE TO MAKE ANY LOCKS UNUSABLE. IF POSSIBLE, REMOVE THE
DOOR(S) AND DISCARD SEPARATELY.
WARNING – CHEMICAL HAZARD: DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY
WITH THE OLD APPLIANCE. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITY FOR
PROPER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES.
Before disposing of an old appliance, please make sure it is switched off and safe. Unplug the
appliance and break any locks in order to avoid children becoming trapped.
Please note:
if the cooling system contains gases and refrigerants it will require specialist
waste disposal.
Contact your local waste disposal depot for proper disposal of an old appliance and contact
your local authority if you have any questions.
Please ensure the pipework of your appliance is not damaged prior to disposal.
DISPOSAL OF PACKAGING
All the packaging materials with your Husky appliance may be disposed of without danger to
the environment.
The cardboard carton and polythene wrappers are recyclable – check with your local authority
for the best recycling options. The expanded polystyrene materials included in the packaging can
be placed in general waste.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PLUGGED INTO AN EARTHED SOCKET.
• Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same
as that on the rating plate. This appliance is designed to operate on 220~240V AC;
50Hz. Connection to any other power source may damage the appliance
• This appliance may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change
the fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or
damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is found
• If the plug has to be changed, because it not suitable for your socket or becomes
damaged in any way, it should be replaced by a qualified electrician. The plug removed
must be disposed of safely as insertion into a 13 Amp socket could cause an electrical
hazard
• Always remember to unplug your appliance before cleaning.
HOW TO MINIMISE THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF YOUR
HUSKY APPLIANCE
• Locate the coolest area of the room, away from sources of heat, and out of the direct
sunlight. One characteristic of thermoelectric units is the length of time it requires to
stabilise from having the door opened and shut frequently. It may be necessary to wait
longer for the temperature shown on the display to return to its former level once the
door has been opened for too long. This is normal for this type of unit.
• Energy consumption will be lower if the appliance stands in a well ventilated space and
in particular if the vent on the appliance is clear of obstruction
• Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near a heat source such as ovens,
radiators, heaters, etc as this will increase energy consumption
• Keep the door closed as much as possible. Ensure there are no obstructions
preventing the doors from closing properly
• Setting the temperature to a colder temperature means higher energy consumption,
so set only as cool as you really require
• Do not overfill the appliance - overfilling means the air cannot circulate freely inside the
cabinet which may slow the process of cooling and make the unit less efficient
• Turn the appliance off completely if it is not required for a period of days or longer to
avoid wasting energy (see also section ‘When your appliance is not in use’).
HANDLING YOUR APPLIANCE
• To lift the appliance safely, tilt it backwards by no more than 45 degrees, hold the base
and rear corners of the appliance carefully. Never use the door handle for lifting
• This appliance is heavy and could cause injury. Ensure there are adequate people
present to move the appliance
If moving the appliance:
• Remove all bottles
• Securely tape down the loose shelves inside the appliance
• Tape the door shut
• Protect the outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item
• Ensure that the appliance stays in an upright position during transportation.
POSITIONING YOUR APPLIANCE
This appliance is a free-standing appliance and should
not be built in.
It is recommended that you site the Drinks Cooler in a room where the ambient temperature
is maintained between 23º-26ºC/72º-78ºF.
If the ambient temperature of the unit is outside this range, particularly during extreme hot or
cold conditions, performance may be affected and the below specified temperature ranges may
not be reached. It is entirely normal that the temperature on the display fluctuates from the
set temperature. This may also occur due to other factors such as opening the door frequently.
For this reason it is not suitable to locate the Drinks Cooler in outdoor buildings including
conservatories and garages.
Temperature Range For Your Drinks Cooler:
• Upper zone: 7-18°C/45-64°F
• Lower zone: 12-18°C/54-64°F
NOTE: When you use the appliance for the first time or restart it after having
been turned off for a long time, there may be a difference between the
temperature you select and the one indicated on the LCD readout. This is
normal. Once the drinks cooler has been running for a few hours the display will
stabilise, but will often fluctuate from the temperature set.
• Ensure that the appliance is situated:
• Away from direct sunlight and in a dry and well-ventilated space
• Away from stoves, ovens, radiators and any other heating appliances
• With a recommendation of at least 15cm clearance around the appliance
• Do not position the appliance in conservatories or outbuildings with extreme high or
low ambient temperatures
• Do not use outdoors or leave in rain
• Do not place anything on your appliance
• The appliance must be used in the vertical position and stand on an even, flat surface
for quieter operation
• Ensure that the plug is easily accessible.
