Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the following:
-
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care guide.
-
This glass door beverage center/bottom freezer combo must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the installation section.
-
Never unplug your glass door beverage center/bottom freezer combo by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.
-
Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug, or the connector end.
-
Unplug your glass door beverage center/bottom freezer combo before cleaning or before making any repairs. Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly recommend that a certified technician performs the service.
-
Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your glass door beverage center/bottom freezer combo.
-
If your old glass door beverage center/bottom freezer combo is not being used, we recommend that you remove the doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
-
After your glass door beverage center/bottom freezer combo is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the glass door beverage center/bottom freezer combo compartment, particularly when your hands are damp or wet. The skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
-
Do not refreeze foods, which have been thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No.69 reads:”…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 40F”.
“…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat.”
…Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of their eating quality as you can. -
This glass door beverage center/bottom freezer combo should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.
-
Do not operate your glass door beverage center/bottom freezer combo in the presence of explosive fumes.

WARNING: do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
-
WARNING: do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
-
WARNING: All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration product, check with a qualified disposal company for instructions.

DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old glass door beverage center/bottom freezer combo:
- Take off the doors.

Troubleshooting
When the unit is not in use for a prolonged period

Remove all contents from the unit.
-
Dry the interior and leave the door open for a few days.
When the unit does not work -
Check if there is a power failure.

-
Check that the fuse has not blown in the main supply circuit.
When you wish to move the glass door beverage center/ bottom freezer combo -
Secure all movable parts and contents. (Package them separately if necessary.)
-
Transport the fridge only in an upright position. In any other position, you may damage the compressor.
Before calling the service, please follow the checklist below. This may save you an expensive service call.
If the unit seems too warm inside
-
Check to see that the door is closing properly and the door seal is not damaged.
-
Check that the interior circulation is not obstructed by having too many goods stored.
(The fridge is overloaded) -
Did you store anything hot, without first cooling it to room temperature?
-
Is there sufficient clearance around all sides and above the fridge?
-
Do you set the temperature too high?
When the condensate water overflows inside the unit and onto the floor -
Check that the drain pipe and the drain hose are not clogged.
-
Check that the drain pan is housed properly.
When condensation forms on the outside of the unit -
Condensation may form on the outside when the humidity level is high such as during a wet season. This is the same result as the condensation formed when chilled water is poured into a glass. It does not, therefore, indicate a failure, wipe dry with a dry cloth.
If the glass door beverage center/bottom freezer combo starts making any unusual noises -
Is it wobbling? Re-level it and check if it now operates normally.
-
Have any objects fallen behind the fridge? If so, remove them and check if the operation is now normal.
-
Are any containers inside the fridge vibrating or resonating? If so, rearrange them then check to see if the operation has returned to normal.
