• Place the Cooler on a leveled/even floor surface that is strong enough to
support the weight of the Cooler when it is fully loaded to prevent vibrations.
• Place the Cooler on a concrete, tile floor or waterproof floor is
recommended. The fridge will produce defrost water or condensation
moisture; it might cause water damage in some extreme circumstances.
• The bottom feet can be adjusted to level the appliance properly. Adjust
the two feet to keep the Cooler leveled or elevated.
• Situate the Cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of direct heat (stove,
heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may also affect the acrylic coating and
heat sources may cause an increase in power consumption.
• This unit is not designed for outside installation.
• Avoid situating the Cooler in moist OR pest infestation areas.
• Plug the Cooler into dedicated, properly installed-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.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the
unit to cool down for 4-6 hours before placing food in the Cooler.
• Do not place heavy items on the top of this appliance.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing in the Cooler.
Overloading the Cooler forces the compressor to work harder. Foods that
freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them
in the Cooler. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the Cooler.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches.
Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as
possible.

GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting your cooler
• There is slight frosting on the surface of the evaporator during the use of the product.
The beverage cooler defrosts during the cut in and cut off time of the temperature
controller. After defrosting, the water will be collected in the water pan through the
water pipe inside the box, and the heat generated during the operation of the
compressor will evaporate the water in the water pan.
Cleaning the cooler
• Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recommended that it be cleaned
thoroughly and properly maintained thereafter.
• Turn off the Cooler and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
• Remove all food content before washing the inside with a damp cloth soaked in
lukewarm water and dishwasher liquid. Don’t use any chemical detergent which
might damage coating or inner liner of the cooler.
• Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently as
improper cleaning can cause the seal to dislodge and tear.
• Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
Vacation Time
• Turn off the Cooler first and then unplug the unit from the power point.
• Remove all food.
• Clean the Cooler.
• Leave the lid open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or
odors.
• Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to
child’s play.
• Short vacations: Leave the Cooler operating during vacations of less than three
weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food
and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odour
and mold growth, leave the door open slightly.

• Remove all the food and drinks.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your Cooler.
• Tape the doors to be closed securely.
