Warning: Do not exceed the maximum shelf loading weight of 25 kgs per shelf. Ensure the shelf support clips are securely located in the support strip for safe operation. The clips should be fully inserted and securely located before loading the shelves. The clips should be mounted so that the shelf is level. Failure to do so could result in the shelf falling out of position, which would be dangerous.

First, please observe all warnings and procedures stated in the safety information.

1. Take care not to pinch or damage the power cord in any way. Examine the cord for any splits, cuts, or damage. If it is unsatisfactory, it must be replaced by a qualified person.

2. Plug in the cooler and turn on the power at the mains.

3. Switch on the appliance using the red power switch on the front control panel.

The electronic controller is factory set to chill beverages to approximately 2°C. To alter the set point, follow this procedure:

Step 1: Press and hold the “SET” button for approximately 4 seconds until the display flashes “F1”.

Step 2: Press the SET button quickly once more, and the current set point temperature will be displayed.

Step 3: Press the up or down arrow buttons to adjust the setting temperature.

Step 4: Press and hold the SET button for approximately 4 seconds, and your new selection will be stored. If you fail to press SET, the controller will time out and revert to the previously stored setting.

WARNING! Please do not alter the value shown at F2. It must remain at 4 for the cooler to function correctly. This value represents the difference between the compressor switch on and off temperatures and should not be tampered with. Doing so would invalidate the guarantee.

Regular maintenance must be performed according to the procedures detailed in the instructions. The appliance is designed to run automatically, including automatic defrosting, and the condensate water is evaporated automatically by the system.

Lighting: The appliance uses LED lighting strips powered by a low voltage transformer. If replacement is required, please order genuine replacement parts from Rhino. Replacement is a job for an appropriately qualified, skilled, and competent person.

Cleaning Interior and Exterior: The interior walls and shelves should be cleaned and sanitised regularly to meet hygiene regulations. Do not use splashing, dripping, jetting, or running water. Do not use steam. Use only a damp or wet cloth with appropriate cleaning materials. Always follow the instructions specific to the cleaning materials being used.

Cleaning the Condenser: The condenser must be kept clean and free of dust at all times to work efficiently. It is recommended to check that it is clean and dust-free at least every three months.

Step 1: Empty the appliance. Switch it off using the red power switch. Pull it out from its enclosure and unplug it from the mains power supply.

Step 2: Looking at the back of the appliance, remove the screws from the rear compartment cover.

Step 3: Locate the condenser and examine it for dust or debris.

Step 4: Clean the condenser using the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush. Dust that is removed must be cleared away. The condenser is a delicate component and must be treated with great care. Be careful of the fan blades and do not bend or deflect them. NEVER use water in this area.

Note: If the condenser has been contaminated with grease or fat, a skilled and competent refrigeration specialist will be required for the cleaning. Do not use the cabinet or plug it back in until the cleaning has been done professionally by a skilled person, as a fire hazard may be present.

Step 5: Replace the cover and screws and plug it back into the mains power supply.

In the event of a malfunction, please be sure to only use a suitably qualified, competent, and skilled refrigeration service engineer and insist upon genuine Rhino parts. If the appliance is under guarantee, please call the company from whom you purchased the appliance. Always have the serial number to hand. The serial number is located on the inside wall of the refrigerated compartment, often accompanied by or located next to a bar code.

This appliance contains flammable refrigerant within its sealed system and also within the insulation foam. It must be recycled by a professional, competent, authorised, and regulated organisation with expertise in the handling of refrigeration appliances.
