Need help?Do you have a question about the PowerPac PPBF555 and is the answer not in the manual?
The PowerPac BAR FRIDGE, model PPBF555, is a compact 50-litre bar fridge designed for household and similar applications. It features a freezer compartment, a water tray, an adjustable caster, and a temperature control rotary knob. The door includes a little rack, door seals, and a big rack for storage. The appliance is energy efficient and CFC-free, utilizing R600a (isobutane) as its refrigerant, which is a hydrocarbon and flammable.
Before installation, ensure the appliance is not inclined more than 45 degrees to prevent damage to the compressor and refrigeration system. Clean the interior with water and detergent using a non-abrasive sponge, ensuring it is completely dry. Allow the appliance to stand upright for at least an hour before switching it on. The bar fridge should be installed in an environment free from explosive and flammable substances, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, on a horizontal, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Avoid placing it on or near objects that can be damaged by heat, such as wood, carpets, or plastics. If placed on wooden furniture, use a protective pad. Maintain at least 10 cm of free space from the back, left, and right sides, and 30 cm from the top of the door to ensure adequate air circulation for compressor cooling. Do not place anything on top of the appliance.
The temperature control rotary knob has settings from 1 to 7, where higher numbers indicate colder temperatures. The default temperature setting is 3-4. When first switching on the appliance, set the knob to 3-4 and allow the compressor to operate for 2-3 hours before placing food or drinks inside. For quick freezing, set the knob to 5, then return it to 3-4 once food is frozen. Always adjust the temperature gradually, decreasing by one increment over several hours when moving from a colder to a warmer setting. Avoid leaving the door open for extended periods or opening it repeatedly to prevent temperature increases and potential food spoilage or appliance damage.
Place fresh, clean raw food, wrapped in airtight boxes or aluminum foil, into the freezer as quickly as possible to preserve freshness and nutrients. It is advisable to use separate bags or containers for each food item to prevent fluid mixing. Do not allow frozen food to directly contact food being frozen. Fresh fruits and vegetables should not be placed in the freezer compartment.
Avoid overloading the refrigerator with large amounts of food at once; ensure ample space around each package for adequate cold air circulation. Allow warm food to cool to room temperature before placing it in the appliance. Cooked food, especially meat, fish, seafood, or pickled dishes, should be covered and sealed with clingfilm, wrapped in aluminum foil, or stored in airtight containers to prevent drying out and odor emission. Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment, below cooked food, to prevent cross-contamination.
Before cleaning or maintenance, turn the temperature control rotary knob to "OFF," switch off the appliance, and unplug it from the electric mains. Allow the interior to warm up and the compressor to cool down. If frost accumulates, defrost the appliance. Do not use electrical devices (e.g., hairdryers, heaters), mechanical devices (e.g., sharp knives, ice-picks), or direct flames to remove ice. After defrosting, clean the interior with a soft, damp cloth and mild liquid detergent; do not use abrasive scouring pads or powders. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth or sponge, using mild liquid detergent for stubborn spots. Do not soak the appliance in water or other liquids, or wash it under the tap. After cleaning, dry all surfaces with a soft cloth before restarting. Regularly remove dust and grime from the condenser to maintain good working order. Rubbing talcum powder on the freezer door gasket can help prolong its life.
This appliance should be disposed of according to local regulations at a recycling center to minimize environmental damage. Do not dispose of it as unsorted municipal waste. Before discarding, remove all doors and shelves to prevent children or animals from getting trapped.
The manufacturer provides a 2-year warranty on the appliance and a 10-year warranty on the compressor, starting from the purchase date. The warranty covers defects in material and workmanship. Repairs must be carried out by an authorized service center, and the original bill of purchase is required for claims. The warranty does not apply to normal wear and tear, non-observance of warnings (e.g., overloading, use of non-approved accessories), improper maintenance, damage due to force, non-observance of the user manual or installation instructions, defects in the distribution system, or repairs/modifications by unauthorized persons.
