Important Safety Information
Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury.
- Ensure the appliance is properly grounded.
- Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
- Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
- Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
- Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
- Unplug the appliance before cleaning or performing maintenance.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Setup and Installation
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, including foam and adhesive tape. Inspect the fridge for any damage during transit. Keep packaging materials out of reach of children.
2. Placement
- Place the refrigerator on a firm, level surface to ensure stability and proper operation.
- Allow adequate space around the appliance for proper ventilation (at least 10 cm on sides and back, 30 cm above). This helps maintain cooling efficiency and prevents overheating.
- Avoid placing the fridge in direct sunlight or near heat sources such as stoves, heaters, or radiators, as this will increase energy consumption.
- Ensure the ambient temperature is within the recommended operating range for the appliance.
3. Reversible Door Installation
The Mora M125RWH features a reversible door, allowing it to open from either the left or right side to suit your kitchen layout.
Caution: This procedure requires two people and careful handling to avoid damage or injury. Refer to the detailed diagrams in the full manual for specific steps.
- Unplug the appliance from the power outlet.
- Remove the top hinge cover and unscrew the top hinge.
- Carefully lift the door off the bottom hinge.
- Remove the bottom hinge and transfer the hinge pin to the opposite side.
- Install the bottom hinge on the desired side.
- Re-attach the door, ensuring it aligns correctly.
- Install the top hinge on the new side and replace the cover.
- Adjust the door to ensure a tight seal.

4. Initial Power-On
After placement and door reversal (if applicable), wait at least 2-4 hours before plugging the appliance into a power outlet. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
Plug the fridge into a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet. The fridge will begin to cool. Allow several hours for the internal temperature to stabilize before loading with food items.
Operating Instructions
1. Temperature Control
The temperature inside the refrigerator is controlled by a thermostat dial, usually located inside the compartment.
- Turn the dial to a higher number for colder temperatures and a lower number for warmer temperatures.
- The recommended setting for general use is typically mid-range.
- Adjust the setting based on ambient temperature and the amount of food stored.
2. Food Storage
- Shelves: The fridge is equipped with sturdy, tempered safety glass shelves. These shelves are less likely to break and are stronger than standard glass, reducing the risk of injury. Arrange them to suit your storage needs.
- Door Rack: The big bottle rack in the door is designed to accommodate larger items, such as 2-liter bottles and other tall containers.
- Freeze Zone: A small 'FREEZE ZONE' compartment is provided for short-term storage of frozen items or for making ice. This is not a full freezer and is not suitable for long-term freezing.
- Do not overload the shelves or door racks.
- Ensure food items are properly sealed to prevent odors and maintain freshness.

3. Energy Saving Tips
Your Mora M125RWH Bar Fridge has an A+ energy class rating, saving 22 percent more energy than A class appliances. To maximize energy efficiency:
- Do not open the door too frequently or leave it open for extended periods.
- Ensure the door seal is clean and intact.
- Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in the fridge.
- Defrost the appliance when ice buildup exceeds 3-5 mm.
Maintenance and Cleaning
1. Cleaning the Interior
Warning: Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
- Clean the interior regularly with a soft cloth dampened with a solution of mild detergent and warm water.
- Wipe dry thoroughly after cleaning.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage surfaces.
- Remove and clean shelves and door racks separately.
2. Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
3. Defrosting
The 'FREEZE ZONE' compartment will accumulate frost. When the frost layer becomes thick (around 3-5 mm), it should be defrosted to maintain efficiency.
- Unplug the appliance.
- Remove all food items and place them in another cooler or wrap them well.
- Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt naturally. Place a towel or shallow tray at the bottom to collect water.
- Do not use sharp objects or heating devices to remove frost, as this can damage the cooling system.
- Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior thoroughly before plugging the appliance back in.
