BEFORE OPERATING
Important
BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
Remove the exterior and interior packing. Before connecting the appliance to
the 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.
Shipment Arriving Damaged:
VISIBLE DAMAGE
If your shipment arrives with visible damage to the box/carton, be sure the
damage is noted on the bill of freight or express receipt and signed by the
person making the delivery. File a claim for damages immediately, regardless
of the extent of damage.
CONCEALED DAMAGE
If damages are unnoticed until the kegerator is unpacked, notify the
transportation company or carrier immediately and file a concealed damage
claim with them. This should be done within (5) days of the delivery date. Be
sure to hold on to the box/carton for inspection. We cannot assume
responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit.
Important Notes:
CONSTRUCTION ZONES
Keep all stainless steel products away from construction zones. Construction
debris such as (but not limited to) stone dust, stucco, and lime dust could
damage or permanently discolor stainless steel products. Keep all caustic
chemicals including chlorine and pool cleaning products away from stainless
steel at all times.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL PARTS & COMPONENTS
Disconnect all power supplies and batteries before servicing.
INTERIOR LIGHT
This unit is equipped with an interior LED light which will be turned ON when
the door is open and the interior fan is stopped at the same time. You can
press to manually turn on or turn off the light.
DEFROSTING
The unit defrosts automatically in normal operating conditions. The evaporator
behind the rear wall of the unit defrosts automatically. The condensation
collects in the drainage channel behind the rear wall of the unit and flows
through the drainage hole into the drop tray by the compressor where it
evaporates.
However, frost may accumulate on the evaporator if the unit is repeatedly
opened in a high heat or high humidity location. If this frost pattern does
not clear within 24 hours, your unit will require manual defrosting.
Press and hold for 6 seconds to defrost the unit. To stop defrosting, repeat
the same interaction.
TEMPERATURE ALARM
An audible alarm sounds if the storage temperature is not cold enough. The
temperature display flashes at the same time.
The cause of the temperature being too high may be:
- Too much warm ambient air flow when rearranging and removing stored items.
- Prolonged power failure.
- The appliance is faulty.
The audible alarm is automatically silenced and the temperature display stops flashing when the temperature is sufficiently cold again.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top
performance and long life.
The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You may want
to shorten the intervals if you have pets or other special considerations.
Exterior cleaning for your stainless steel model:
- Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items – including the dispense kit.
- Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be approximately 2 tablespoons baking soda by 1 quart water.
- Wring excess water out of sponges or cloths when cleaning controls or electrical parts.
- Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
- Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel. These will contaminate the stainless steel with steel particles and rusting may occur.
- Dust the front grill and back of the unit twice yearly, making sure the power is off before cleaning.
- It is recommended to clean the unit yearly, inside and out, to maximize the longevity of the product.
