INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this
Lec appliance that has been made
from the very best materials
available
and
has
been
extensively tested and inspected
before leaving our factory. This
Bottle
Cooler
has
been
specifically designed to store
bottled and canned drinks and
when properly installed and cared
for, will give years of good
service.
UNPACKING
Please
remove
all
internal
packing. When unpacked is
complete the appliance should
stand for 2 hours to allow coolant
to settle.
POSITIONING
In order to conserve electricity do
not put your appliance near a
source of heat, such as a
radiator. Try to avoid locations
where the sun shining through
glass
can
raise
the
room
temperature.
An unheated location such as a
cellar is undesirable as it may
cause frost build up and slow
defrosting. It may also cause
excessive condensation on the
outer surface of your cabinet.
INSTALLATION
It is important to note that the
appliance
can
be
installed
built-in, without air gaps as the
appliance has been designed to
gain ventilation from the front.
The air ventilation at the bottom
of
the
cabinet
must
be
unobstructed to allow air to
circulate around the cabinet. The
Bottle Cooler is also fitted with
adjustable feet on the front. If the
cabinet is placed on an uneven
surface
this
can
cause
misalignment of the cabinet and
doors. The feet must be adjusted
so that the cabinet stands firm
and level, with a slight tilt from
front to back to prevent any
defrost water dripping from the
front. The cabinet should be
placed on a hard flat surface for
ventilation.
WHAT TO DO BEFORE
STARTING
Clean the interior of your
appliance
(See
the
section
"Cleaning your Appliance").
SAFETY AND SERVICING
THIS
APPLIANCE
MUST
BE
EARTHED
If this appliance is fitted
with
a
non-rewirable
plug
for
which
your
socket
is
unsuitable
the
plug
should
be
cut
off
and
an
appropriate
plug
fitted.
The
removed
plug
must
be
disposed of as insertion of
the plug into an electrical
socket
is
likely
to
be
dangerous.
ELECTRIC PLUG WIRING (UK
ONLY)
The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the
following code:
GREEN AND YELLOW - EARTH
BLUE - NEUTRAL
BROWN - LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the
mains lead of your appliance may
not correspond with the coloured
marking identifying the terminals
in your plug, proceed as follows:
CONNECT GREEN & YELLOW
coloured wire to plug terminal
marked ‘E’ or earth symbol
or
coloured green or green and
yellow.
CONNECT BLUE coloured wire to
plug terminal marked ‘N’ or
coloured black.
CONNECT BROWN coloured wire
to plug terminal marked ‘L’ or
coloured red.
Do not push excess mains lead
into the compressor
compartment.
If it is necessary to change the
fuse in a moulded plug and the
fuse cover is detachable, it must
be refitted after the fuse has
been changed. If the fuse cover is
lost or damaged the plug must
not be used until a replacement
is obtained.
It is important that the colour of
the replacement fuse cover
corresponds with the coloured
insert
or
as
indicated
in
embossed words on the base of
the plug. Replacement fuse
covers are available from the
Spares
Department,
Lec
Refrigeration plc. at the address
on the rear cover of this leaflet.
When a non-rewirable plug or a
rewirable 13 Amp (BS 1363) plug
is used it must be fitted with a
13 Amp ASTA approved (BS 1362)
fuse. If any other type of plug is
used it must be protected by a 15
Amp fuse either in the plug or at
the distribution board.
