INSTALLING THE ANTI TIP DEVICE
Step by step instructions for locating the po-
sition of the bracket:
1) Decide where you want to place the beverage center.
Slide it into place, being careful not to damage the oor,
leaving 1" (2.5 cm) of clearance from the rear wall to allow
room for the anti-tip bracket.
2) Raise the rear leveling legs approximately
1
⁄4" (6 mm) to
allow engagement with the anti-tip bracket. Level the unit
by adjusting all the leveling legs as required. Turning the
leveling leg counterclockwise will raise the unit and clock-
wise will lower the unit.
3) Make sure the beverage center is in the desired loca-
tion, then mark on the oor the rear and side corner of the
cabinet where the anti-tip bracket will be installed. If the
installation does not allow marking the rear corner of the
cabinet, then make temporary lines on the oor marking
the front corner of the cabinet, excluding the door. Slide the
beverage center out of the way. From the temporary line
extend the sidewall line back 21
1
⁄2" (54.6 cm) as shown in
Figure 15.
4) Align the anti-tip bracket to the marks on the oor so
the side of the bracket lines up with the side of the cabinet
mark, and the "V" notches on the anti-tip bracket line up
with the end of the 21
1
⁄2" (54.6 cm) line (Rear of cabinet
line).
5) Fasten the anti-tip bracket to the oor using the supplied
screw. (See Figure 15).
6) Slide the cabinet back into position, making sure the rear
cabinet leveling leg slides under the anti-tip bracket engag-
ing the slot.

pliance. This component is very reliable, but should it fail,
contact a qualied service technician for replacement of the
LED.
CARE AND CLEANING
4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not
shared with other appliances).
5. When initially loading your new product, or whenever
large quantities of warm contents are placed within
refrigerated storage compartment, minimize door
openings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull
down to compartment set temperature.
6. Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will
require less appliance run time than an empty compart-
ment.
7. Ensure door closing is not obstructed by contents
stored in your appliance.
8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before plac-
ing in product.
9. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.
10. Use the warmest temperature control set temperature
that meets your personal preference and provides the
proper storage for your stored contents.
11. When on vacation or away from home for extended pe-
riods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable tem-
perature for the stored contents.
12. Set the control to the “o” position if cleaning the
appliance requires the door to be open for an extended
period of time.
13. For wine storage products:
When serving temperatures are not required,
return the compartment(s) set temperature to the
ideal red and white wine long term storage tem-
perature of 13°C / 55°F.
The following suggestions will minimize the
cost of operating your refrigeration appliance.
1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance
(cooker, dishwasher, etc.), heating air duct, or other
heat sources.
2. Install product out of direct sunlight.
3. Ensure the front grille vents at front of appliance be-
neath door are not obstructed and kept clean to allow

Thermistors
Thermistors are used for various temperature readings.
Thermistors provide reliable temperature readings
using a resistance which varies based on surrounding
temperatures. If a faulty thermistor is suspected it may be
tested using an accurate ohmmeter.
Both thermistors in the unit are identical. If a thermistor
is suspected of being defective, the resistance can be
veried. Place the thermistor in an ice water bath, the
resistance should read 16.lk Ohms +/-5% on your meter.
Thermistor connections must be kept clean. A thermistor
connection that has become corroded can cause resistance
values from the thermistor to change as they pass through
a dirty connection to the board.
It is for that reason that we apply dielectric grease to all of
our thermistor connections. Dielectric grease will help to
keep thermistor connections clean and dry.
If you change a thermistor in the unit please re-apply
dielectric grease to the connection. If you encounter
a dirty thermistor connection, you should replace the
thermistor and the thermistor harness.
Thermistor error information can be found in the Control
Operations - Service section.
This unit has two thermistors.
Thermistor one (Zone):
Located along the right hand side wall. It is used to
maintain the operating temperature within that zone.
Thermistor two (Evaporator):
Located on the evaporator. It is used for defrost.
THERMISTOR FAILURE
Zone Thermistor
If the zone thermistor in the unit fails, the unit will
continue to cool in a backup mode
(
Self Preservation
Mode) to preserve the integrity of the contents. The unit
will otherwise operate normally.
Thermistor
Evaporator Thermistor
If the evaporator thermistor fails, the unit will rely on a
preset defrost timer during defrost cycles. The unit will
otherwise operate normally. Refer to defrost section.
