Climate Class
Only install the fridge in an environment within its climate class.
The climate class is stated on the cabinet rating label.

(located under the door) anti-clockwise until they are firmly in contact with
the floor.
Sunlight

Uneven Surface
Do not install the cabinet on an uneven surface.
Power Supply

Blocking Ventilation
Do not store boxes or items in front or on top of the cabinet.
Ventilation Requirements
You must ensure the cabinet has the following ventilation clearances at all
times:
Shelves
The cabinet is supplied with 2 shelves.
Remove the packaging, then position the shelves at the required height. The
shelves have hooks on the back which lock them in position.
Operation
Let the cabinet stand for:
- at least 30 minutes before connecting to the power supply for the first time.
- 10 minutes if it has been disconnected from the power supply for any reason.
Loading Product
Let the cabinet run for 30 minutes before loading it with product for the first time. When loading the shelves with product:
Internal Airflow
Leave 25 mm space between product and the back of cabinet interior, and do not
block the drain hole.
Shelf Loading
Do not overload the shelves.
Shelf Flexing
Remove product if the shelf is flexing
Shelf Overhang
Do not let product overhang the shelves.
Refrigeration System
The evaporator fan (located inside the cabinet) should operate continuously
from the time the cabinet is plugged in.
You can verify this by checking that the air is moving inside the cabinet.
While the fridge is operating it is normal to hear gurgling sounds caused by
the flow of refrigerant when each cooling cycle ends.
The thermostat will click when the refrigeration system switches on and off.
Temperature
The temperature of the fridge is regulated by a thermostat located on the inside back wall of the cabinet. The temperature is set at the factory and should not require adjusting. The normal temperature controller setting is 2.
If required, turn the knob:
- clockwise to lower the temperature. Be careful not to set it too low, or product could freeze.
- anti-clockwise to raise the temperature.
- to 0 to switch the refrigeration system off. The fan and lights will stay on.
Lights
You can turn the light on and off using the switch on the right hand side of
the LED strip on the ceiling of the cabinet.
Cleaning
Always unplug the cabinet from the mains power supply before cleaning.
Cabinet
- Wipe the inside and outside of the cabinet with a damp cloth and a small amount of detergent, taking care to keep moisture away from electrical parts.
- Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners or boiling water.
- Do not flush the cabinet with water.
