FEATURES
Interior Light (Some models)
The light comes on automatically when the door is opened. The light can also be turned on and off by pressing the “Light” button on the control panel. Press the button twice to keep the light on when the door is closed.
Adjustable Interior Shelves
Multi-position adjustable interior shelves can be moved to any position for larger or smaller packages. The shipping spacers that stabilize the shelves for shipping should be removed and discarded. The Beverage Center comes equipped with three glass shelves.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• Install the Beverage Center in the coolest part of a dry and ventilated room, out of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the Beverage Center next to heatproducing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher.
• Level the Beverage Center so the door close tightly.
• Do not over crowd the Beverage Center or block cold air vents. Doing so causes the Beverage Center to run longer and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the Beverage Center less efficient.
• Wipe containers dry before placing them in the Beverage Center. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
• Organize the Beverage Center to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
Cool Down Period
For best performance, allow 4 hours for the Beverage Center to cool down completely. The Beverage Center will run continuously for the first several hours.
Temperature Control
• The Beverage Center can be operated by adjusting the temperature control buttons (+/-) to the various settings.
• The new desired temperature will flash on the display for a few seconds and then switch back to the actual temperature which will gradually change until set point is reached.
• Press the + button once to increase temperature 1° F/C.
• Press the - button once to decrease temperature 1° F/C.
• The temperature range MIN and MAX is 33° - 50°F (1° - 10°C).
Temperature display
 | This button turns the power ON and OFF. |
 | This button turns the light ON and OFF. |
 | This button toggles between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperatures. |
• The default temperature for the Beverage Center is 41°F (5°C). The temperature after power failure will be the temperature set before the power failure.
• To prolong the life of compressor, please wait for at least 5 minutes before the unit is restarted after power failure.
Failure display
• If “E” and “F” are displayed, please contact local service personnel for repair.
• If the temperature in the Beverage Center is too low, it will display “L”.
• If the temperature in the Beverage Center is too high, the screen will display “H” and will flash. Under this state, the buzzer will buzz for 30 seconds. One minute later, the buzzer will continue to buzz for the next 30 seconds. After three times, the alarm will not buzz any more. You can press any key to cancel sound alarm.
• Storing too many cans or bottles in the Beverage Center may cause the temperature in the Beverage Center to rise temporarily
CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the Beverage Center
• Before cleaning, turn the temperature control to OFF, unplug the Beverage Center and remove the bottles.
• Clean your Beverage Center once every two months.
Inside: Wash inside surfaces of the Beverage Center with a solution of two tablespoons of baking soda in one quart (1.136 liters) warm water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
Wash the removable parts with the baking soda solution mentioned above, or mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash removable parts in a dishwasher.
Outside: Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
Care of plastic parts
• Be sure and protect the door gasket. It should be kept clean at all times.
• If the plastic parts in the Beverage Center remain contaminated by oil (animal or vegetable) for a long period of time, they will age and crack easily. Please clean them on a regular basis.
Vacation and Moving Tips
Vacations:
If the Beverage Center will not be used for several months:
• Remove all bottles and unplug the power cord.
• Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
• Leave the Beverage Center door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth.
Moving:
When moving the Beverage Center, follow these guidelines to prevent damage:
• Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
• Remove bottles and clean the Beverage Center.
• Secure all loose items by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
• In a moving vehicle, secure the Beverage Center in an upright position to prevent movement. Also, protect the outside of the Beverage Center with a blanket or similar item.
WARNING If leaving the Beverage Center door open while on vacation, make certain that children cannot climb inside and become entrapped.
