GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with this type of product.
The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury when
correctly adhered to. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. If applicable, pass
these instructions on to the next owner of the appliance.
Pay particular attention to messages that follow this safety alert symbol or the
words DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION. These words are used to alert you
to a potential hazard that can seriously injure you and others.
The instructions will tell you how to reduce the chance of injury and let you know
what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
This symbol alerts you to take care as the appliance contains flammable
materials: isobutane as refrigerant and cyclopentane as insulation blowing gas.
While isobutane (R600a) is a gas with a high level of environmental
compatibility, it is nevertheless flammable.
Do not expose the appliance to high heat, sparks and open flames.
During transport and installation, ensure that none of the components of the
refrigerant circuit become damaged.
REFRIGERANT MATTERS

REVERSING THE DOOR HINGE
(RIGHT HINGE TO LEFT HINGE)
Directions and diagrams are based on a right hand hinged door, being swapped to a left hand hinged
unit. If swapping from left to right, simply mirror the instructions)
If you require the door swing to be changed, you can do this at home with some basic
tools, but we also recommend upto 2 other people to assist, as the door is very
heavy an awkward to manouver.
Steps below may vary, depending on if fridge is straight out of the box or has already been
installed. However, it is best to decide which side hinge is required, before installing into
place.
Please follow the below steps:
1. Upper Hinge Bracket
2. Hinge Pin
3. Hinge Cover
4. Upper Hinge
5. Lower Hinge bracket
6. Glass Door
STEP 1
As shown in Figure 1, use a flat-blade screwdriver to open the upper hinge cover ③ to see the
hinge shaft ②, and then use a flat-blade screwdriver to pry out the hinge pin (OR, in newer
models, use an allen key to unscrew the hinge pin) from the door and hinge bracket, and take
it out.
As shown in Figure 2, the installation method of the upper door hinge is much the same as the
lower hinge. Repeat the procedure to pry out the lower hinge pin.
10 | P a g e
REVERSING THE DOOR HINGE (Cont)
STEP 2
When the upper and lower hinge pins have been removed, grab a friend and carefully lift the
door Up and Off the fridge.
Place the door, glass side down, ideally onto an empty table with a blanket, to avoid marking
the door whilst you continue to work.
STEP 3
With the door removed, use an allen/hex key wrench to remove both the upper and lower door
hinge screws (3 each hinge), to remove the upper and lower door hinge brackets.
STEP 4 - Pay special attention to this:
Gently remove plugs on the opposite side of the fridge (ie: where you want the hinge to be).
You can now install the hinge brackets on your preferred side.
The right upper hinge is now positioned into the left lower hinge.
The right lower hinge is changed into the left upper hinge position. Make sure to secure
the hinge screws tightly
STEP 5
The glass door is also turned 180 degrees to install, with the lock hook and door alarm magnet
being removed and reinstalled to the opposite side (Top to Bottom / Bottom to Top)
See how to change the door alarm magnet and lock pieces on next page
STEP 6
Grab two (2) friends, and lift the door as shown in Figure 4 into place. Firstly insert the lower
hinge bracket into the corner fitting of the door, and gently align the mounting holes. Whilst
your 2 friends are still holding the door, insert the hinge pin into the hinge bracket to secure its
position. Make sure the lower pin is installed all the way. Then simply reinstall the hinge cover
and the installation of the lower part of the door is now completed.
STEP 7
Whilst you still have someone assisting you by holding the door, align the top of the door and
the hinge bracket as shown in Figure 3. When aligned correctly, tighten the screw-in pin with
an allen/hex key, until its level with the top of the door, to prevent the door from failing off.
Once screwed in carefully, reinstall the hinge pin cover, and the door swing change is now
finished.
STEP 8
With a friend, carefully lift the fridge off its back, and let rest at least 12 hours, before turning
the unit on.

VERSATILE SHELVING
BD425 use’s heavy-duty chromed ball-bearing slide-out shelves.
This versatile shelving allows you to;
Adjust shelving height up or down
Swap flat beer shelving with special wine shelving, which has low-vibration rubber saddles
that “cradle” the bottles, stopping them from rolling on the shelves.
Slide-out shelving allows you to reach contents on the rear of the shelf easily.
Heavy-duty shelving to support a wide range of products.
HOW TO OPERATE THE PULL OUT SHELVES (WINE AND BEER)
Make sure the door is opened all the way, to prevent damaging a door seal/gasket, before
pulling the shelves out of their track.
For easy access to the storage content, you must pull the shelves approximately 1/3 out of
the track.
This unit was designed with a notch on each sides of the shelf tracks, to prevent bottles
from falling.
Avoid overcrowding the shelves, as this will reduce air flow, and therefore efficiency.
WINE SHELF SADDLES
The wine shelving has patented movable rubber saddles to rest wine bottles on. These allow
you to place the bottles in any position, so you do not have bottles touching each other and
clanking.
18 | P a g e
HOW TO ADJUST / CHANGE SHELF CONFIGURATION
TO REMOVE A SHELF
Shelving is unique with the beer and wine matching units, you can interchange beer for wine
and wine for beer. Please refer to the following directions to replace a shelf with a different
option.
First, slide the shelf out to the furthest point, ensuring the door is WIDE open.
You will notice 2x flippers located on either side of the shelf on the rail.
Position both hands on either side of the shelf so that your fingers can rest on both
flippers.
On the RIGHT-HAND side, push the flipper DOWN.
On the LEFT-HAND side, pull the flipper UP.
While holding the flippers like this, you can pull the shelf all the way out and remove it
from the fridge.
TIPS
Don’t be scared to pull hard, sometimes it seems tight.
Push and Pull the flippers like explained as tight as you can.
Make sure door is fully open at least 90°, or it’s hard to get fingers in right
position.
TO RE-INSERT A SHELF (AT SAME HEIGHT)
The support rail inside the fridge & silver bracket the shelf sits inside are both ‘C’ shaped.
Make sure both sides of the shelf sit inside this correctly.
You can use your finger to slide the silver bracket to the front of the support rail.
You must also make sure that the sides of the shelf sit inside the silver bracket.
Once the shelf is inside both the black railing & silver bracket, you can push the shelf into
the fridge, locking it into the railing.
19 | P a g e
BD425 SHELF HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Shelf heights can be easily adjusted across all different models.

NOISE
If your unit has become noisy, please check the following;
Can you ascertain exactly where the noise is coming from? It may be a loose screw or part
of the fridge that is now vibrating and is easy to fix.
Is the compressor / fridge level, a compressor not level will make a ‘clunking’ noise on start-
up and shut down.
Does the fan sound noisy? It may be as simple as needing slight adjustment or you may see
ice build up near the fan inside.
A slight sound may be heard when the liquid refrigerant circulates. This is normal.
A slight sound may be heard when defrosted water drops into the drip tray.
NOTE: The compressor and fans will run for longer periods if excessive quantities of food /
drink are stored or the ambient temperature is high.
NOT COOLING
All of a sudden unit has stopped cooling.
Have you got the controller set correctly? Or has it been altered or changed.
Is your door sealing properly, check all the way around door seal to make sure it is seating
correctly on fridge body, small gaps won’t affect cooling.
Check inner and rear fans are going
– If you can NOT see the individual blades stationary, the fans will be running
Does the compressor run? Make sure compressor is running. If it is running and still not
cooling and you have a warm fridge then there may be a gas problem and a technician will
be needed.
