o
3 Glass Shelves
o
Handle
o
Instruction Manual
o
2 Extra Screws for Installing Handle
- IMPORTAN T: Before connecting this Beverage cooler to a power source, let it stand upright
for approximately 24 hours. This will reduce 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 left side of the door.
To Install Stainless Ste el Handle
1) Pull away the door gasket in the area where the handle is to be installed, as Illustration #1.
The gasket is easily removed by hand, no tools are necessary.
2) Align the handle with the pre-installed screws on the door frame. Tighten the screws with a
screwdriver until the handles secure tightly against the door frame, as Illustration #2. (Do NOT
over tighten as this will cause damage to th
e handle assembly).
3) Replace the door gasket to its original position.
Note: This Beverage cooler includes stainless steel handles that are not required to operate this
Beverage cooler. If you choose not to use the handle supplied, simply follow step 1 to access the

To Install Your Beverage cooler
- This Beverage cooler is designed for free standing or built -in (fully recessed) installation.
- Place your Beverage cooler on a solid and level floor that is strong enoug h to support it when
it is fully loaded. This will ensure a vibration-free and noise-free operation. Adjust the level ing
legs i n and out to stabilize the cooler horizontally. If the legs are not properly ad justed, the
cooler may be unstable and result in excess noise o r vibration.
- Locate the Beverage cooler away f rom direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater,
radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coatin g and heat sources may increase
electrical consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the cooler no t
to perform properly.
- It is not advisable to install this cooler in moist areas or direc tly adjacent to a kitchen sink, as
moisture could cause premature corrosion to the components o f your new cooler.
- It is recommended you install the Beverage coole r in a place with temperatures above 60°F
(15°C) and below 90°F ( 3 2 °C), and humidity is under 60%. If the ambient temperature is
above or below recommended tempe ratures, the performance of the cooler may be affected.
Placing your cooler in extremely cold or hot conditio ns may cause interior temperatures to
fluctuate, and the temperature range of 3ºC- 18ºC (37ºF-65ºF) may not be reached.
- Connect the Beve rage cooler to an exclusive, properly grounded, standard electrical supply

(115V/60Hz), in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a
certified electrician or an authorized products service center.
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 an authorized service center.
The Beverage cooler should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet
which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the Beverage cooler. This
provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that
could cause a fire hazard from overheated.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power
cord supplied.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug. However, if you must use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding type Beverage
cooler extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical
rating of the cord is 10 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
If the Beverage cooler is going to be used in an area that is prone to power
surges/outages, it is suggested that you use a power surge protector. The surge
protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the Beverage
cooler it is connected to. Damages due to power surges are not considered a
manufacturer covered defect and will void your product warranty.
