POLAR prides itself on quality and service, ensuring that at the time of unpacking the contents are supplied fully functional and free of damage.
Should you find any damage as a result of transit, please contact your POLAR dealer immediately.

Installation
Note: Not for use in vans or trailers, food trucks or similar vehicles.
If the unit has not been stored or moved in an upright position, let it stand upright for approximately 12 hours before operation. If in doubt allow to stand.

Remove the appliance from the packaging. Make sure that all protective plastic film and coatings are thoroughly removed from all surfaces.
To optimize performance and longevity, ensure a minimum clearance of 2.5cm is maintained between the unit and walls and other objects, with a minimum 20cm clearance on the top. NEVER LOCATE NEXT TO A HEAT SOURCE.

Note: Before using the appliance for the first time, clean the shelve and interior with soapy water then dry well.

Controller

The controller is located at the rear of the appliance, covered with a removable cap. It has been pre-set optimally by the manufacturer.
As needed, the controller can be adjusted clockwise to make the appliance “Colder“
and counter-clockwise to make the appliance “Warmer“.
Nevertheless, we DO NOT recommend customers to make any adjustment because too cold setting may lead to freezing. Best cooling performance can be achieved so long as the unit is optimally filled and the internal air circulation is not obstructed.
Internal light : Press the light switch on the rear to turn the light on/off as required.

Note: If necessary, you can insert the pipe from a coffee machine into the milk bottle inside the fridge cabinet via the milk hole on the side. Before insertion, please make sure to remove the hole plug.

Refrigerating tips:

Condensation and ice will form with frequent and prolonged opening of the doors.
Operating outside of the recommend temperature range and placing next to a heat source will also increase the amount of ice and internal/external condensation. If external condensation occurs wipe the surface down with a cloth.
Excessive ice will result in longer running times that will increase energy consumption and increase the deterioration of components.
If the gasket or seal is damaged or deformed, energy consumption will increase. To restore efficiency, replace gasket.

Cleaning, Care & Maintenance

Switch off and disconnect from the power supply before cleaning.
Clean the interior of the appliance as often as possible.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. These can leave harmful residues.
Clean the door seal with warm soapy water.
Always wipe dry after cleaning.
If left unused for any length of time, store the appliance with the door ajar.

Troubleshooting

A qualified technician must carry out repairs if required.
