Installation

Note: If the unit has not been stored or moved in an upright position, let it stand upright for approximately 12 hours before the operation. If in doubt allow standing.

Remove the appliance from the packaging. Make sure that all protective plastic film and coatings are thoroughly removed from all surfaces.
To optimize performance and longevity, ensure a minimum clearance of 2.5cm is maintained between the unit and walls and other objects, with a minimum 5cm clearance on the top.

NEVER LOCATE NEXT TO A HEAT SOURCE.

Note: Before using the appliance for the first time, clean the interior with soapy water.

Location

The appliance is intended for indoor use only.
Be sure the location chosen has a floor strong enough to support the total weight of the cabinet and contents. A fully loaded unit can weigh as much as 450kg. Reinforce the floor as necessary to provide maximum loading.
For the most efficient refrigeration, be sure to provide good air circulation inside and outside.Ventilation
Be sure that the unit has access to ample air. Avoid hot corners and locations near stoves and ovens.
Should it become necessary to lay the unit on its side or back for any reason, allow at least 12 hours before start-up so as to allow compressor oil to flow back to the sump? Failure to meet this requirement can cause compressor failure and unit damage.

Leveling

A level cabinet will perform better because the doors will line up with the frames properly, the cabinet will not be subject to undue strain and the contents inside the cabinet will not move around.
Use a level to make sure the unit is level from front to back and side to side.
Units supplied with legs will have adjustable bullet feet to make the necessary adjustments. If the unit is supplied with castors, set the brakes on the castors to keep the appliance in position.
Ensure the floor where the unit is to be located is level.

Caution:Failure to follow all the due installation instructions will invalidate your guarantee.

Connection

Connecting the beer tower

Pull out the air conduct hose from the hole in the cabinet surface.
Unscrew the 2 bolts to release the cover plate which is located on the cabinet’s inner surface.
Thread the big black washer through the beer line that is coming from the beer tower.
Insert the beer line into the cabinet via the hole. Then insert the air conduct hose into the beer tower.
Align all holes and install the 4 screws to fix the beer tower in place.
Slide the beer tower’s shade downward fully.
Re-attach and fix the cover plate to the cabinet’s inner surface with bolts.
In case the beer tower is not stable, you can adjust the tap as needed. Open the top cap of the beer tower first. Then use the supplied spanner to adjust the tap.

Connecting the CO2 cylinder and beer kegNote: The diagram below is for reference only. For actual connections, please follow the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the CO2 cylinder and beer keg. All connections should be done by professionals only.Be gentle when locating CO2 cylinder and beer keg into the cabinet to avoid any damage.

Warning:

Make sure that all fittings in the system are tight. Always keep the CO2 cylinder in a vertical position. The recommended pressure for the CO2 system is 8-10 psi.
Always handle the CO2 cylinder with care. Never lay flat or drop!
Handle all pressure system components with care. Do not use excessive pressures. Be sure instructions are understood thoroughly. If in doubt, contact your dealer/distributor for an explanation.
Filled CO2 cylinders are potentially dangerous because of the pressure they contain. If you are unfamiliar with their use or the use of the CO2 regulator, seek information from your local distributor, or your local beverage man before proceeding.

When necessary to connect a remote CO2 cylinder, use below diagram for reference. For actual connections, ensure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the CO2 cylinder.

Cleaning, Care & Maintenance

Switch off and disconnect from the power supply before cleaning and maintenance.• Warm, soapy water is recommended for cleaning. Cleaning agents may leave harmful residues. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.• Empty and clean the drip trays regularly.• A POLAR agent or qualified technician should carry out repairs if required.

Cleaning the cabinetThe interior and exterior can be cleaned using soap and warm water. If this is not sufficient, try ammonia and water or a non-abrasive liquid cleaner. When cleaning the exterior, always rub with the “grain” of the stainless steel to avoid marring the finish.Do not use an abrasive cleaner because it will scratch the stainless steel and plastic and can damage the breaker strips and gaskets.Cleaning the Condenser Coil The condenser coil requires regular cleaning, with the recommended frequency of every 90 days. In some instances, you may find there is a large amount of debris and dust or grease accumulated prior to the 90-day period. Thus the condenser coil should be cleaned more frequently.

If the buildup on the coil consists of only light dust and debris the condenser coil can be cleaned with a simple brush. Heavier dust buildup may require a vacuum or even compressed air to blow through the condenser coil.If heavy grease is present, there are de-greasing agents available for refrigeration use and specifically for the condenser coils. The condenser coil may require a spray with the degreasing agent and then blown through with compressed air.Failure to maintain a clean condenser coil can initially cause high temperatures and excessive run times, continuous operation with dirty or clogged condenser coils can result in compressor failures. Neglecting the condenser coil cleaning procedures will void any warranties associated with the compressor or the cost to replace the compressor.In order to maintain proper refrigeration performance, the condenser fins must be cleaned of dust, dirt, and grease regularly. It is recommended that this be done at least every 3 months. If conditions are such that the condenser is totally blocked, the frequency of cleaning should be increased. Clean the condenser with a vacuum cleaner or stiff brush. If extremely dirty, a commercially available condenser cleaner may be required.

Stainless Steel CareTo maintain the stainless steel exterior of your Polar item, please consider the following information:Never:

Use abrasive Scourers or scrubbing pads, etc.
Use Chlorinated or acidic detergents
Allow anything e.g. food, dirt, cleaning chemicals to remain on the surface for longer than necessary, clean them off right away.
Allow the surface to remain wet.

Do:

Clean often.
Use soft Cloths or plastic Scourers.
Rub with the grain of the metal, rather than across it.
Use detergents and polish designed for cleaning Stainless Steel.
Ensure that the cleaning products are washed off fully and that the steel is left dry.

Gasket MaintenanceGaskets require regular cleaning to prevent mold and mildew buildup and also to keep the elasticity of the gasket.Gasket cleaning can be done with the use of warm soapy water. Avoid full-strength cleaning products on gaskets as this can cause them to become brittle and prevent proper seals. Also, never use sharp tools or knives to scrape or clean the gasket which could possibly tear the gasket and rip the bellows.Gaskets can easily be replaced and do not require the use of tools or authorized service persons. The gaskets are “Dart” style and can be pulled out of the grove in the door and new gaskets can be “pressed” back into place.Doors/HingesOver time and with heavy use, doors the hinges may become loose. If it is noticed that the door is beginning to sag, it may become necessary to tighten the screws that mount the hinge brackets to the frame of the unit. If the doors are loose or sagging this can cause the hinge to pull out of the frame which may damage both the doors and the door hinges. In some cases, this can require qualified service agents or maintenance personnel.Drain MaintenanceEach unit has a drain located inside the unit which removes the condensation from the evaporator coil and evaporates it at an external condensate evaporator pan. The drain may become loose or even disconnected resulting from moving or bumping the drain.If you notice excessive water accumulation on the inside of the unit, be sure the drain tube is connected from the evaporator housing to the condensate evaporator drain pan.If water is collected underneath the unit, you may need to check the condensate evaporator drain tube to make sure it is still located inside the drain pan.The leveling of the unit is important as the units are designed to drain properly when on a level surface. If your floor is not level this can also cause drain problems. Make sure all drain lines are free of obstructions, or blocked drain lines will cause water to back up and overflow the drain pans.
