INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Position
Upon the positioning of this unit, keep in mind the floor must be flat and sturdy and the room should be well ventilated, without additional heating sources nearby.

1. Allow sufficient air ventilation surrounding the unit. The rear end (backside) of this appliance should stand against a wall allowing sufficient air ventilation as follows:
   ➟ 10cm from the top
   ➟ 10cm from the back
   ➟ 10cm from the rest sides
   

2. Wait at least 4 hours before connecting the appliance to the power supply, thus, allowing all fluids to settle in the compressor.
   

3. Upon initial use, operate continuously for 24 hours, thus ensuring the correct temperature is reached and smooth operation of the unit is achieved.
   

Reversible Door
The door opening can change from either the left or the right side, according to what is best suited for its location. Ensure there is enough adequate space for the door to open fully. To change the door opening direction, please follow the mentioned below instructions:

Required tools:
Head Screwdriver / Slot head Screwdriver / Hexagonal Spanner

• Before reversing the door swing, unplug the appliance from the power supply and remove goods from fridge.

1. Adjust the leveling foot to its highest position. Tilt the unit slightly backward to take the door off. Rest the unit on something solid so that it will not slip during the door reversing process.
   Do not lay the unit flat as this may damage the coolant system.

2. Remove the plastic cover located on the top right or left (depending on the initial door installation side) of the door hinge, and unscrew the two screws with the stabilizing pin.
   

3. Slightly tilt so that you may have access to the front bottom bracket. Unscrew the two screws located on the bottom left or right (depending on the initial door installation side)and remove the foot from the opposite side. Once the top and bottom screws and also the opposite foot is removed, the door will be completely released.
   

4. Remove the three plastic caps from the side, you are going to install the door and place them on the side where the door was originally installed, in order to cover the three
   screw holes.
   

5. Place the door on the desired side making sure it is in its upright position. Screw the top two screws of the door hinge. Slightly tilt, for better positioning, screw the bottom hinge into place, and also screw the removed foot on the other side. Once completed clip on the top plastic cap.
   

6. Check if door is aligned horizontally and vertically and that the door when shut is completely sealed from all sides.
   

7. Finally tighten the bottom hinge and re-adjust the foot on the opposite side for correct leveling.

Leveling the Unit
Adjust the levelling foot at the front of the unit. If the unit is not aligned, the door and magnetic seal alignments will not be covered properly.

SETTINGS

Thermorstat Temperature Setting
The thermostat is located in the interior at the upper part of the refrigerator. The thermostat setting levels are the following:

• Setting “MED”: Normal cooling When installing the appliance for the first time, be sure to set the thermostat to the MED setting and wait for 24hours before placing items inside.
• Setting “MAX”: Maximum cooling If there is a large number of frozen goods, or if the outside temperature is high, the thermostat knob may be set to its highest position, for a short time.

For determining the correct temperature control setting, consider the following:

✓ Room temperature
✓ How frequently does the Mini Bar door open
✓ The quantity of stored goods
