1. Warnings and Safety

These precautions ensure safe, correct use of the fridge and minimise the risk of injury or damage.

• Keep all ventilation vents clear while the unit is operating.
• Do not use mechanical devices to accelerate defrosting unless recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• The LED lights must be replaced by a qualified person — contact the customer helpline.
• Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartment.
• Do not damage, modify or excessively bend the power cord; if damaged, a qualified technician must replace it.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with flammable propellant in this appliance.
• Dispose of the unit only at an authorised waste centre; do not expose it to a flame.
• Disconnect the unit from power before cleaning, maintenance or replacing parts.
• All repairs, disassembly or modification must be performed by a qualified technician.
• Use a dedicated wall outlet; do not use flammable sprays or substances near the unit.
• The expected noise level of the unit is 55 dB.
• This unit is intended to store and display beverages for sale; do not use it for any other purpose.
• Do not insert anything (fingers, sticks, etc.) into the cold air suction outlet.
• Never place heavy objects or items containing water on top of the unit.
• After switching off, wait 5 minutes before restarting — restarting too soon can blow a fuse, trip the breaker or overload the compressor.

2. Installation

Before use

• Remove all packaging and leave the doors open to ventilate.
• Clean the unit before use.
• Run the unit empty for an hour before loading stock.

Placement and clearances

• Indoor use only; keep out of direct sunlight, rain and weather.
• Install on a flat, stable, level surface strong enough to support the unit when loaded.
• Allow a 20 mm gap on all sides and the top, and 100 mm at the rear for airflow.
• Suitable for ambient temperatures up to 25 °C.

3. Cleaning

Exterior and interior

• For dust, wipe inside and out with a dry cloth.
• For a deeper clean, use a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
• Clean the fridge regularly.
• Never use polishing powder, soap powder, benzine, oil or hot water — these damage the paint and plastic.

After cleaning, check the power cord for cracks or damage. If you find any, contact Borrelli.

4. How to Use

The fridge is operated using the power switch and digital controller on the front of the unit.

2. Press and hold Set for about 3 seconds until the value flashes.
3. Use the Up and Down arrows to adjust to your desired temperature.
4. Press Set to save; after a few seconds the display returns to the current temperature.

Manual defrost

1. Press and hold the defrost button (snowflake / Rst) for about 3 seconds.
2. Defrosting begins and ends automatically once complete.

Controller reset

If the controller stops responding, switch the unit off at the power switch, wait 5 minutes, then switch it back on. Allow the fridge to return to temperature before reloading stock.

5. Tips and Tricks

Follow these tips to get the best performance, efficiency and lifespan from the fridge.

Transportation

• You may transport the unit on its back for short periods only.
• Let the unit stand upright for 12 hours before switching on, so the refrigerant can settle.
• Protect the power cord during transportation.

Drain tray

• Defrosting is automatic; drain water collects in the tray and evaporates automatically.

Shelves

• Adjust the shelves to suit the items placed on them.
• Each shelf has a maximum load of 25 kg.
