Getting Started

Unpacking

• Packaging materials: This appliance has been packaged to protect it against transportation damage.
  Remove all packaging materials from around and inside the appliance and 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 the carton is to be disposed of, please recycle all packaging materials where possible.

• Suffocation: 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.

• Power cord: Unwind the power cord to its full length and inspect it for damage. Do not use the appliance if it or its cord has been damaged or is not working properly. In case of damage, contact our after-sales support line for advice on examination, repair, or return of the damaged product.

• Read the manual: Read this manual to familiarise yourself with the appliance. Pay particular attention to the safety instructions on the previous pages.

• Clean: To remove any dust from transit and storage, clean the interior and exterior surfaces of the appliance with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Dry thoroughly. Important: do not use harsh or abrasive detergents or powders as these will damage the finish.

Installation

• Two-person installation: Use two or more people to move and install the appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or another injury.
• Freestanding design: This appliance is designed to be freestanding only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
• Floor surface: This appliance must be properly positioned on a dry, sturdy, level surface that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
• Ambient temperature: The ambient temperatures must correspond to the climate class ( T ) indicated on the rating plate of the appliance: 16° C – 38° C
• Clearances: Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet, which is necessary to cool the compressor and condenser. Allow at least 15cm clear space at the back, 20cm at the sides of the unit, and 20cm between the top and any surface above (i.e. a bench top). If you are installing your freezer next to a fixed wall, leave sufficient space on the hinge side to allow for the door to swing open.

Do NOT install/use the appliance in the following locations/situations:

• In moist areas or areas of high humidity.
• In a recreational vehicle, or for use with an inverter.
• In direct sunlight, near heat sources, next to an open flame, cooking or heating appliance, or near any other source of high heat.
• Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase the unit’s power consumption. For best energy efficiency install the appliance in the coolest area of the room.
• In an area with extremely cold ambient temperatures.
• In an area with excessive moisture and high humidity. Make sure it is protected from elements such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
• In an area where petrol or other explosive and/or flammable liquids or fumes are used or stored. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

Electrical connection

• WARNING! It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.

• Before plugging in your new upright freezer, let it stand upright for at least 2 hours. This will allow the refrigerant gases to settle into the compressor and reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system.

• The appliance must be earthed. The plug of the power supply cord is equipped with a contact for this purpose. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (earth) prong from the power cord.
  If the plug does not fit your outlet, consult a licensed electrician for advice to have the outlet changed.

• Plug the unit into a dedicated, properly earthed wall outlet. Ensure that your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage stated on the rating label.

• Secure the upright freezer’s supply cord behind the unit. Do not leave it exposed or dangling to prevent injury and accidental disconnection from the power supply.

• Adjust the temperature control as described below.

• When first starting up, and after a period out of use, allow the unit to cool down for at least 2–3 hours (4 hours if starting up during warm weather in summer) before placing food in the upright freezer.

Reversing the door

• Tools Required: Phillips head screwdriver, flat blade screwdriver, and Hexagonal spanner.
• Before beginning, ensure that the bar freezer is unplugged and empty.
• Adjust the two leveling feet to their highest position.
• To remove the door it is necessary to tilt the bar freezer backward. Rest the freezer against something solid to prevent it from slipping whilst removing the door.
• All parts that are removed will be used when re-assembling the door hinge, so ensure they are all kept safe.
• DO NOT lay the bar freezer on its back or sides as this may damage the coolant system.
• This is a two-person procedure.

1. Remove the plastic cover from the top door hinge.
2. Unscrew the three screws from the bottom bracket and remove the hinge bracket from the opposite side and place it aside.
3. Slide the freezer door down approximately 15cm and remove it from the top hinge, lifting the door away from the fridge.
4. Remove the two screws from the top bracket and replace the bracket using the same screws on to the opposite side. Note: You will need to remove the plastic cover caps from the opposite side first.
5. Slide the freezer door back into the top hinge, ensuring that it is the correct way up. Then screw the bottom hinge bracket into place, securing the door in place.
6. Fit the plastic cover caps and ensure that the door is aligned both vertically and horizontally, before tightening the bottom hinge. Re-adjust the leveling feet.

Using Your Upright Freezer

Temperature Control

• Your fridge has one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is located at the rear, near the compressor.
• Depending on your room’s ambient temperature, you may need to adjust the temperature setting to achieve your desired temperature.
• The number on the thermostat dial does not directly represent the temperature. Instead, the larger the number is, the lower the freezer interior temperature will be.
  → Dial positions 1–2 will set your freezer to approximately -12°C
  → Dial positions 3–4 will set your freezer to approximately -15°C
  → Dial position 5–6 will set it to approximately -20°C.

IMPORTANT: If the unit is unplugged, lost power, or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit.
If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust the thermostat control by one numerical increment at a time. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize between adjustments.
For your first use, you should set the thermostat to the maximum position of 6 for the first 24 to 48 hours, after which you can set it to the setting that best suits your needs.
Using for the First Time
When you install your appliance, set the thermostat knob to position 6 for the first 24–48 hours, after which you can set it to the level that best suits your needs. It is best to wait 24 hours before adding food.
IMPORTANT: Once the unit has started, continuous operation is recommended. Please try and avoid turning the unit off and on as this may affect the service life.
Noise From Your Bar Freezer

• You may notice that your bar fridge makes some unusual noises from time to time. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!
• These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit and is common with all modern fridges.

Usage Tips

• Do not store food uncovered in the upright freezer. Always use good quality, freezer-proof packaging to maintain food quality. Remove air from packages of solid food and seal bags tightly before freezing.
• Keep portions small to ensure they are frozen (and subsequently defrosted) rapidly.
• Make sure that fresh, unfrozen food packages do not touch food that is already frozen, thus avoiding a temperature rise in the frozen food.
• When freezing food, do not push food together too much, leave some space for air to circulate around each item. Do not place packages directly against the back wall.
• When buying frozen food, only buy quantities that you can store straight away; use an insulated container for your shopping and when you get home, place the food in the chilling compartment immediately.
• When storing pre-packed, commercially frozen food, follow the food manufacturer’s instructions for storing the food in a home fridge or freezer. Do not exceed any storage times listed on the packaging.
• Once you have opened a packet of frozen food, re-wrap it airtight to prevent surface evaporation which causes drying or freezer burn.
• Do not place carbonated liquids such as bottles of fizzy drinks in the freezer as the container could explode under pressure and damage the chiller.
• Do not refreeze food once it has been defrosted.
• Frozen food which has thawed accidentally should either be used immediately or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted, it may be cooked and then refrozen.

Energy Saving Tips

• The appliance should be placed in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts. Please avoid placement in direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the appliance.
• Do not overload the appliance with unfrozen food as this may cause it to freeze slowly and risk food spoilage.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost building up inside in the unit.
• Please do not wrap items in aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towel. These materials interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, ensuring the unit is opened as few times as possible.

Maintenance & Cleaning

CAUTION! Do not remove items from the chilling compartment if your hands are damp or wet as this could cause skin abrasions.
Defrosting

• For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or >5mm thick. To minimize disruption, choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.
  Important! Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and will void the warranty.
  We recommend using a plastic scraper.

• Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.

• Unplug the bar freezer.

• During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet. You can also use a plastic scraper carefully.

• Clean the interior of the fridge and freezer and remove any water.

• Reset the thermostat to the desired setting.

• Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour.

• Return food to the freezer.
  Helpful Tip. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open will help speed the process. Also, pouring warm water (not boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed melting. If you must use a scraper, please use caution: it is very easy to damage the freezer compartment and void your warranty.

Cleaning
WARNING
Before cleaning the appliance, make sure it is switched off and disconnected from the power supply.
Failure to do so can result in electric shock or injury.

• Wash the inside surfaces and the interior accessories with a damp, warm cloth moistened in a water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 liter of water. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
• Clean the outside of the unit with a damp, well-wrung-out cloth, keeping the area of the controls dry. Keep the lid gasket (seal) clean.
• Never use boiling water to accelerate defrosting as it may damage the plastic components.
• After cleaning/defrosting, push the drain plug in.
• After everything is dry, place the appliance back into service.
• Allow approximately 1–2 hours for the cabinet to cool down again (depending on the length of time the appliance was disconnected from the power).

WARNING
Never clean the unit with an abrasive, acid, oil, or solvent-based cleaning agent. Never use flammable fluids or sprays for cleaning as the fumes from these substances can create a fire hazard or Explosion.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened.
If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, take proper steps to protect the contents.
