Electrical Information
- The Beverage Center must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only electrical outlet. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI) circuit. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
- If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by an authorized service technician to prevent any risk.
- Never unplug the Beverage Center by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.
- Unplug the Beverage Center before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
- Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the Beverage Center with insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty.
- Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the Beverage Center from being turned off accidentally.
Child Safety
- Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the Beverage Center is unpacked. Children should never use these items to play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation.
- Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
- An empty, discarded Beverage Center is a very dangerous attraction to children.
- Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in use, even if it is being discarded.
Proper Disposal of your Beverage Center
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned Beverage Centers are still dangerous – even if they will sit for
“just a few days”. If you are getting rid of your old Beverage Center, please
follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check
with your utility company or visit
www.recyclemyoldfridge.com for more
information on recycling your old Beverage Center.
Before you throw away your old Beverage Center:
- Remove doors.
- Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
- Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.
INSTALLATION
This Use & Care Guide provides general operating instructions for your model. Use the appliance only as instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the Beverage Center, follow these important first steps.
Location
- Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
- For optimal performance, it is recommended that you install the Beverage Center where the ambient temperature is between 70 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 2 inch space on the back and sides of the Beverage Center for adequate circulation.
- Be sure the Beverage Center stays in the upright position during transport.
- Keep the Beverage Center from any hazardous or combustible agents.
WARNING
This appliance is intended for use in residential household and similar interior applications such as:
- Kitchen / Kitchenette
- Pantry Room
- Basement
- Enclosed Garage
- Other interior residential type environments
NOTE
The exterior walls of the Beverage Center may become quite warm as the
compressor works to transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30°
F warmer than room temperature can be expected. For this reason it is
particularly important in hotter climates to allow enough space for air
circulation around your Beverage Center.
Leveling
The Beverage Center must have all bottom corners resting firmly on solid
floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded Beverage
Center. NOTE: It is Very Important for your Beverage Center to be level in
order to function properly. If the Beverage Center is not leveled during
installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly,
causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
To Level Your Beverage Center:
After removing all interior and exterior packaging materials, use a
carpenter’s level to level the Beverage Center from front-to-back. Adjust the
leveling legs in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when
left halfway open.
Cleaning
- Wash any removable parts of the Beverage Center interior, and exterior with mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry. Do not use harsh cleaners on these surfaces.
- Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky side of tape already removed. Do not remove the serial plate.
Important Safeguards: Do not store food in your Beverage Center as interior temperature may not get cool enough to prevent spoilage. In summer months or areas of high humidity, the glass door may build up moisture. To remove the moisture, wipe it away.
Handle Installation
- Set handle over the two mounting studs at top of door.
- Use hex head screw driver or allen wrench to tighten set screws from bottom to secure handle to door.
Reversing the door swing
The glass door can be opened from left to right and vice versa. Should you
desire to change the opening direction, please follow these instructions.
NOTE
All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation of the door.
- Remove top cap. Remove the three screws that hold the upper hinge (right side) to the top of the cabinet. Carefully remove top hinge.
- Lift the door up off of bottom hinge and place it on a padded surface to prevent scratching it.
- Remove the three button plugs from the upper left corner of the cabinet and transfer them to the holes on the opposite side. Be sure to press the button plugs firmly into the holes.
- Remove three screws that hold the bottom hinge to lower end of cabinet. Remove the three button plugs from lower LH corner and transfer to holes where bottom hinge was just removed.
- Unscrew pins from both hinges and transfer to threaded hole on opposite side. Re-install bottom hinge in LH corner of cabinet using same three screws removed in Step 4.
- On bottom edge of door, transfer door stop bracket and bushing to holes on opposite side.
- On top edge of door, transfer the button plugs and bushing to hole on opposite side.
- StepPlace bot 9:Change˜ thefrom tom LH corner of door onto lower hingethe rightaxis hole hinge, then install top hinge to cabinet. Make sure door is level and it seals properly against cabinet, then securely fasten three screws. Snap top cap back onto hinge.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
- Install the Beverage Center in the coolest part of a dry and ventilated room, out of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the Beverage Center next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher.
- Level the Beverage Center so the door closes tightly.
- Do not over crowd the Beverage Center or block cold air vents. Doing so causes the Beverage Center to run longer and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the Beverage Center less efficient.
- Wipe containers dry before placing them in the Beverage Center. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
- Organize the Beverage Center to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
