•
This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a) which is
environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase
the
greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance
that no
parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the
eyes. In
the event of any damage:
-
Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,
-
Disconnect from the electrical power line,
-
Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes, and
-
Contact the Service Department for advice.
•
The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event
of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building
up. For every ounce of coolant at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The amount of
coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate on the back of the appliance. It is hazardous for
anyone other than an Authorized Service Person to carry out servicing or repairs to this appliance.
•
Take serious care when handling, moving, and using the appliance to avoid either damaging the
refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.
•
Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel
so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using your Appliance
•
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•
Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2
hours. This reduces the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
•
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
•
Install the handle on the door. (See page 8.)
Installation of your Appliance
The appliance is designed for free-standing installation, indoor and outdoor use.
CAUTION: This appliance is designed for storing and cooling beverages and drinks. Do not
store
perishable food, medicine or other medical products.
•
Place your Beverage Cooler on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
To level the unit, adjust the front leveling legs.
•
For free-standing installation, leave 5 inches (127mm) of space around the back and
sides of the
unit to allow proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator or other
heating source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may
increase
electrical consumption. Don’t install in a location where the temperature will
fall below 60°F (16°C).
For best performance, do not install the appliance behind a
cabinet door or block the base grille.
•
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
•
Plug the Beverage Cooler into an exclusive, properly grounded wall outlet. Do not under
any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any
questions concerning
power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician
or an authorized service center.
Electrical Connection
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is
equipped
with a three-prong plug that mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize
the possibility of
electrical shock.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is
damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.
9
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord
supplied. For
personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~ 60Hz three-prong grounded electrical
outlet. Have
the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility
and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left
exposed or
dangling.
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a
voltage rating
that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best
performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire
hazard from overheating. Never unplug the
appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip
the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
Repair or replace immediately all power
cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use
a cord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance,
be careful not to
damage the power cord.
Extension Cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you
do not
use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is
absolutely
necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord
having a grounding
type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and
at least 10 amperes.
Installing the Door Handle
This beverage cooler includes a stainless steel handle that is not required to operate the unit. To
install the handle, follow the instructions below:
1. Remove the door gasket on the side you wish to install
the door handle. You will see two designated holes for
handle installation. The gasket is easily displaced by
hand. No tools are necessary.
2. Install the fridge handle tightly, as shown, with two screws
and flat washers provided. DO NOT overtighten, as this
will cause damage to the handle and stainless steel door
frame.
3. Replace the door gasket to its original position.
10
Reversing the Door Swing
This diagram will explain how to reverse the door swing of your beverage cooler. Be careful to pay
attention to the numbering of the steps below.
11
OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE
It is recommended you install the appliance in a place where the ambient temperature is between
72º and
78ºF (23º-26ºC). If the ambient temperature is above or below the recommended
temperatures, the
performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in
extremely cold or hot conditions
may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate. The range of 34-46ºF
(1-8ºC) may not be reached.
Control Panel
Mechanical Control
• There is a TEMP-ADJ knob inside the beverage cooler. The temperature in the cabinet can be
adjusted within the range 34-46°F
(1-8°C).
• To lower the temperature in the cabinet, turn the TEMP-ADJ knob from left to right (clockwise)
by the indicating black dot on the knob. The coldest setting is 7, and the warmest setting is 1.
• When using the appliance for the first time, turn the knob to Coldest or 7 to cool down the
cabinet quickly.
• The LED light inside is automatically controlled. When you open the door, the light will
turn on
immediately and when you close the door, the light will turn off automatically.
NOTE: If the unit is unplugged, or power is lost or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes
before
restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will
not start.
• When you use the unit for the first time or restart the unit after it has been shut off for a long
time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one
indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and is due to the length of the activation time.
There should not be a problem once the unit has been running for a few hours.
Door Lock
Your unit is provided with a lock and key combination.
The keys are located inside the plastic bag that contains the User Manual. Insert the key into the
lock and
turn it counterclockwise to unlock the door. To lock the door, do the reverse operation,
making sure the
metal pin is engaged completely. Remove the key and put it in a secure place for
safekeeping.
12
Defrosting
This appliance requires no manual defrosting. During the operation of the compressor, ice will
build up on
the evaporator plate which is at the back of inner cabinet. During the compressor’s off-
cycle, the ice will
melt, drip down, and collect in a tray above the compressor, where the
compressor’s heat evaporates the
water. If you notice excessive ice build-up on the evaporator, try
setting the temperature slightly higher.
Also, be sure that the door gasket is sealing well.
Shelves
The unit has two removable, chrome-plated wire shelves. To take out a shelf, first remove its
contents,
then raise the back of the shelf slightly and pull the shelf out.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your Appliance
1. Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items, including shelves.
2. Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda (about 2
tablespoons of

3. Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
4. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area where the controls are
located,
or any electrical parts.
5. Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe
dry with a
clean soft cloth.
6. Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of
your
appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off
for a longer
period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect the contents.
Vacations
• Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn
off the
appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave
the door open
slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
