INSTALLATION – ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS

POWER

■The appliance must be installed so the power plug is accessible.

■To ensure that the appliance is not accidentally switched off, connect your refrigerator/beer dispenser to its own power point. Do not plug in any other appliance at this power point or use extension cords, or double adapters, as the combined weight of both power cords can pull the double adapter from a wall outlet socket.

■For power requirements, refer to the information on the serial plate located at the front bottom right-hand side of the refrigerator when the door is open.

■It is essential that the appliance be properly grounded (earthed) with a three prong receptacle. Never cut or break off the grounding prong to fit a two-prong outlet.

LOCATION

■Your refrigerator/beer dispenser should not be located in direct sunlight.

STABILITY

■It is important that all four corners of the refrigerator/beer dispenser base are supported firmly on a solid level surface to eliminate any cabinet movement.

■Installing the appliance on a soft or uneven or unlevel floor may result in twisting of the cabinet and poor sealing of the doors. If the doors do not seal properly, warm air will enter the food storage areas causing the temperature to increase, resulting in food spoilage and food loss.

■Before moving your refrigerator/beer dispenser into its position, ensure that the

adjustable front feet are fully retracted.

■ Position your refrigerator/beer dispenser. Turn to lower the front leveling leg. Raise the front of the appliance until it is stable and doors move towards the closed position, on their own, when open.

■ The front leveling leg on the hinge side should take the majority of the weight of the cabinet and the cabinet should be stable, i.e. cabinet should not rock or wobble.

BEFORE PLACING FOOD IN THE FRESH FOOD COMPARTMENTS Fig. 01 LEVELING LEG

■Remove all packaging. Ensure that all transit tape is removed from the refrigerator.

■Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and a little liquid detergent to remove manufacturing and transportation dust.

■Allow the refrigerator/beer dispenser to run empty for 2 - 3 hours to allow each compartment to cool to the appropriate temperature.

■The appliance may have an odor on its initial operation, but this will go away when the refrigerator/beer dispenser have cooled sufficiently.
