• Clearances: Allow at least 10cm clear space between the back and sides of the
unit and your wall or another appliance to ensure proper air circulation, which is
necessary to allow for the cooling of the compressor and condenser (Fig.1).
• Location: Locate the bar fridge:
• Away from direct sunlight, which may affect the coating.
• Away from sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.), which may increase
power consumption.
• In an area without extreme cold ambient temperatures, which may affect cooling
performance.
• In an area without excessive moisture and high humidity.
• In an area where there are no obstructions that could prevent the fridge door from
closing.
• Enhancing energy efficiency: Installing the unit in the coolest area of the room will
save energy consumption and running costs.
• Before plugging in your new bar fridge, let it stand upright for approximately
2 hours
. This will allow the refrigerant gases to settle into the compressor and
reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
• Electrical connection: Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed and
earthed wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground)
prong from the power cord. If in doubt about your setup, direct any questions
concerning power and/or grounding to a certified electrician.
• Power cord: Secure the bar fridge’s supply cord behind the unit. Do not leave it
exposed or dangling to prevent injury and accidental disconnection from the power
supply.
• Plug the appliance into a wall outlet and allow it to cool down for 2–3 hours on
setting [ 7 ] before placing food in the refrigerator compartment.
