Follow the Instructions Below
Prior to Using the Beverage Center !
Do not plug the beverage center into a power
outlet until it has been resting in its upright
position for at least six (6) hours.
If the beverage center has been laid on its side, placed upside
down or tilted more than 45
°
during moving or transpo, it is
extremely impoant to allow the refrigerant and compressor
oil to separate and settle so the compressor operates properly.
Failure to do so will cause severe mechanical problems with the
unit's motor/compressor, and w void the warranty.
TRANSPORT
Use two or more people to move the beverage center.
Do NOT use stainless steel handle to move or lift the unit.
VENTILATION SPACE
In order for the beverage center to function efficiently, it MUST be placed in an adequately
ventilated space to allow for heat dissipation. It is impoant to allow at least 2 inches (50 mm) of
space on each side and above of the unit, and 4 inches (100 mm) of space behind the unit.
The door requires approximately 22 inches (558 mm) of space in front of the beverage
center to open. To fully utilize the unit, space should be allowed for the door to open fully to 160
°
.
STABLE SURFACE
The beverage center must be placed on a flat, stable surface. Adjust the unit's front
leveling legs to assure quiet operation and prevent rattling when the compressor activates.
IMRNT:
- Never place the unit on soft materials such as foam, plastic or thick textured carpeting.
- Make sure the unit and door are aligned. Use the adjustable legs (front only) to align
the unit and/or the screws under the triangular bracket cover to align the door. See page 6
for more detailed instructions on accessing the metal bracket.

INSTALLATION
POWER SUPPLY
This beverage center is equipped with a 11560Hz single phase motor.
Do not use a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet to connect the unit. (Fig. A.)
The power plug is a standard grounded three-prong non-polarized flush mount,
which allows for easier connection to power outlets.
Power plug must be connected to the outlet directly, and never to an extension cord.
IMPORNT: Do not cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord.
POWER CORD
Never shoen or lengthen the power cord. Do not fold or coil the power cord.
IORNT - Never place the excess length of power cord into the compressor enclosure in the
back of the beverage center. This action creates a dangerous heat build-up which can melt the
cord, cause an electrical hazard and may potentially cause a fire.
Touching the power cord to the compressor at the back of the unit during operation can create an
electrical hazard and damage the compressor.
If the power cord is damaged, it must immediately be replaced by a trained service provider, as
special tools are required.
CLEAN BEFORE USE
IMPORNT: Never use with an extension cord. Power cord length is 5 feet long (1524 mm).
To remove any manufacturing dust and residual odors, wipe the beverage center inside and
out with a damp cloth and a solution of baking soda and warm water (2 tbsp. baking soda to 1 qt.
water). Wipe away any residual baking soda with a clean moist cloth. Allow to dry before operating.
Periodically clean the beverage center with a sponge or cloth moistened with mild soapy water,
or baking soda and water.
PROTECT FROM MOISTURE
Heavy moisture in the environment can cause degradation to the insulation, as well as rust to the
cabinet, compressor and / or power supply.
Do not spray the beverage center with water.
PROTECT FROM HEAT
Place the beverage center away from heat source or direct sun.
Do not operate your beverage center outdoors or in an environment with high temperatures and I
or high humidity, such as garages, attics or outdoor patios. The temperature variances will create
condensation on the glass door.
Do not cover the beverage center with tarps or other items while operating, as this may cause
overheating.

SHUTDOWN
If the beverage center will not be i
n use for a long period of time, disconnect it from the power
outlet, clean inside thoroughly and leave the door open to prevent mildew.
SAFETY WARNING
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
This beverage center should not be positioned within a recessed or enclosed cabinet. It is
designed for freestanding installation only. This unit is not designed to be installed in a RV, garage
or any outside installation.
The surface of the compressor may become hot during the normal operation. Do not touch as this
may cause injury.
OTHER DANGERS
Keep the beverage center away from any combustible or volatile liquids or gases, including
gasoline, oil, alcohol, paint, paint thinners and solvents. Such chemicals should never be stored in
the unit.
7
DEFROSTING
Frost may develop on the interior back panel of the unit when the temperatu
re setting is very low
and the unit is not fully stocked with beverages. The presence of frost may force the unit to run
continuously and thus increase the internal temperature.
To defrost the beverage center:
1. Use the 0 and 0 buttons to increase the temperature until the compressor turns o.
2. Allow the internal ice/frost buildup to melt. Ensure that the internal drain (located at the middle
back of the lower shel is not clogged.
3. During this time, the melted frost flows through an internal drain into a holding pan on top of the
compressor. The heat of the compressor evaporates the liquid.
4. Reset the temperature to 43
°
F and allow it to cool for at least one hour.
5. Adjust to the desired temperature setting.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
It is impoant to periodically clean and maintain the beverage center. When performing
maintenance, make ceain that the unit is unplugged from the power outlet.
Wipe the inner and outer surfaces of the beverage center and clean with a damp cloth. If needed,
use a gentle detergent or a solution of baking soda and water. Remove any residue with clean
water and a soft cloth, then dry with another cloth.
Once clean, you may use a common kitchen appliance wax on outer suaces.
Inspect, clean and maintain the rubber gasket around the door. A small amount of petroleum jelly
applied to the bracket side of gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and ensure a good seal.
IMRTANT:
- Do NOT use hot water, harsh detergents, gasoline, kerosene, solvents, acids or anything
flammable to clean the beverage center. These can damage the paint and degrade the
plastic components.
- Do NOT spray the beverage center with water as this may cause rust and degrade the
insulation.
- Do NOT clean glass shelves with hot water when they are cold. Shelves may break if
exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact. For your protection, tempered glass is
designed to shatter into many small pebble-size pieces.
- If any replacement components are required, they must be obtained from Tramontina's
Customer Service Depament. This ensures that the correct replacement components are
provided, and minimizes risk of possible ignition due to incorrect pas or improper service.
