Getting Started

Unpacking

•    

Packaging materials: 

This product has been packaged to protect it against 

transportation damage. Remove all packaging materials from around and inside the 
appliance, 

but do not remove any foam insulation surrounding the pipes at the 

back

. Keep the original packaging carton and materials in a safe place. It will help 

prevent any damage if the product needs to be transported in the future, and you 
can use it to store the appliance when it is not in use. In the event that the carton is 
to be disposed of, please recycle all packaging materials where possible. 

  Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so 

ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach and disposed of safely. 

•    

Parts: 

Check to ensure you have all the parts pictured on page 8.

•    

Damage: 

When unpacking, check the appliance carefully for damage. If it is 

damaged, do not install the appliance. Contact our after sales support centre for 
advice on examination or return of the damaged appliance. 

•    

Power cord: 

Unwind the power cord to its full length and inspect it for damage. 

Do not use the appliance if the appliance or its cord has been damaged or is not 
working properly.

 

•    

Read the manual: 

Before installing your new bar fridge, read all safety instructions, 

especially the sections on installation and electrical safety on pages 6–7. Then follow 
the installation instructions on the next pages. 

•    

Door handle installation: 

The door handle comes unattached due to packaging 

restrictions. It is easily attached following the instructions on page 11.

•    

Clean:

 Make sure the bar fridge is disconnected from the power supply. Clean 

the interior surfaces and all internal accessories with lukewarm water with a little 
baking soda added (about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 litre of water) and a 
soft cloth. This will remove any dust from transit and storage and help remove the 
typical smell of a brand new product. Dry thoroughly. 

 

CAUTION:

 Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents or powders as these will 

damage the finish.

After washing the interior parts and surfaces, open the fridge door for ventilation of 
the internal compartments.
