THE STORAGE OF DRINKS. This drinks cooler uses thermoelectric tech-

to a minimum of 8°C. It is not intended to operate like, or compete with,

a conventional compressor-driven refrigerator. THIS MODEL IS NOT

SUITABLE FOR THE STORAGE OF FOOD.

to avoid shock hazard. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE ITEM YOURSELF. Ensure

Please note: compressor-driven refrigeration systems may contain gases

materials contained in a refrigerator can be recycled. Contact your local waste

disposal depot for proper disposal of an old appliance and contact your local

authority or dealer if you have any questions. Please ensure the pipework of

your refrigerator is not damaged prior to disposal. You can contribute to

environmental awareness by insisting on an appropriate non-polluting

method of disposal.

DISPOSAL OF PACKAGING

without danger to the environment. The cardboard may be broken or cut into

smaller pieces and given to a waste paper disposal service. The wrapping foil

is made of polyethylene. The polyethylene pads and stuffing contain no

fluorochloric hydrocarbons. All these valuable materials may be taken to a

WARNING: When positioning the appliance ensure the supply cord is not

trapped or damaged. Do not locate extension sockets or charging

transformers/power supplies adjacent to the back of the unit, as they

could overheat.

• Do not use damaged appliances. If you are in any doubt, consult the

supplier.

• Connection and installation of the unit is to be carried out in strict

compliance with the relative instructions in this owner manual.

• For safety, the appliance must be properly earthed in accordance

with specifications.

• Always remember to unplug the appliance before cleaning. Never

unplug your drinks cooler by pulling on the power cable. Always grip

plug firmly and pull straight out from the socket.

• All electrical repairs must be carried out by qualified engineers.

Inadequate repairs may be dangerous.

• DANGER OF FERMENTATION: Keep alcoholic beverages in airtight

SPECIFICATIONS

• This appliance is designed as a cooler for drinks and other beverages,

NOT food.

• It is intended strictly for domestic use.

HOW TO MINIMISE THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF YOUR

HUSKY DRINKS COOLER

Your drinks cooler should be located in the coolest area of the room, away

from sources of heat, and out of the direct sunlight. One characteristic of

thermoelectric units is the length of time it requires to recover from having

the door opened and shut frequently. It may be necessary to wait longer for

the temperature to return to its former level once the door has been opened

for too long. This is normal for this type of unit.

• Energy consumption will be lower if the unit stands in a well

ventilated space and in particular if vent at the back of the unit is

clear of obstruction.

• For good circulation, the vents must not be blocked.

• Keep the door closed as much as possible to lessen the escape of

cold air.

• Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight or a heat source such

as ovens, radiators, heaters, etc.

• For better air circulation, do not overfill the cabinet - overfilling

means that the cool air cannot circulate freely inside the cabinet

which may slow the process of cooling and make the cabinet less

efficient.

• Turn the appliance off completely if it is not required for a period of

days or longer to avoid wasting energy.

BASIC OPERATION

It is recommended you install the drinks cooler in a place where the

ambient temperature is between 23º-26ºC/72º-78ºF. If the ambient

temperature is outside this range, the performance of the unit may be

affected. Placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause

interior temperatures to fluctuate and the range of 8º-18ºC/46º-65ºF

may not be achieved.

• Temperature range for your cooler: 8-18°C/46-64°F

• Allow 50mm clear space all round the unit for adequate ventilation.

Your drinks cooler should be placed on a flat and firm surface for

quieter operation. If the appliance is to be placed on carpet, support

it with a wooden board underneath. Be aware that placing the

appliance on carpet may cause the carpet to fade.

• Do not under any circumstances place heated beverages or food in

your drinks cooler.

• Adjust the temperature regulator according to the amount of product

and the ambient temperature.

Control panel

Your drinks cooler is fitted with an automatic control panel lock that activates

12 seconds after the last time a button has been touched. To unlock the panel

press the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously for three seconds. You will

hear a ‘beep’. The panel is now active for 12 seconds.

Setting the temperature control

Unlock the control panel first (see above). Once active, you can display the

temperature in either Celsius or Fahrenheit by pressing the °F/°C button. The

appropriate indicator will illuminate. You may set the temperature as you

wish by pressing the UP or DOWN buttons on the control panel. The set

temperature will increase by 1ºF or 1ºC for each depression of the UP button.

The temperature will decrease by 1ºF or 1ºC for each depression of the DOWN

button.

This drinks cooler is capable of storing wine. For red wine the temperature

will ideally be set between 14-18°C (57-65ºF), and for white wine the

temperature will ideally be set between 9-14°C (49-58ºF).

NOTE: When you use the appliance for the first time or restart it after having

been turned off for a long time, there may be a few degrees difference

between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED

readout. This is normal. Once the cooler has been running for a few hours the

display will stabilise.

Capacity

40 litres capacity – capable of storing up to 16 x standard-sized 75cl bottles.

As bottles differ widely in size the actual number of bottles may vary.

Interior light

To turn the interior light ON or OFF, first unlock the control panel (see above),

then push the button marked with the “Light” symbol. The light will turn off

automatically after 10 minutes.

CLEANING

CAUTION: Failure to unplug the drinks cooler could result in electrical shock or

personal injury.
