Continue on to step 3 to replace the door gasket to its original position.

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 enough to support it when it is fully loaded. This will ensure a vibration-free and noise-free operation. Adjust the leveling legs in and out to stabilize the cooler horizontally. If the legs are not properly adjusted, the cooler may be unstable and result in excess noise or vibration.
• Locate the Beverage cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase power consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the cooler to not perform properly.
• It is not advisable to install this cooler in moist areas or directly adjacent to a kitchen sink, as moisture could cause premature corrosion to the components of your new cooler.
• It is recommended you install the Beverage cooler in a place with temperatures above 60°F (15°C) and below 90°F (32°C), and humidity is under 60%. If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures, the performance of the cooler may be affected. Placing your cooler in extremely cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate, and the temperature range of 3ºC-18ºC (37ºF-64ºF) may not be reached.
• Connect the Beverage cooler to an exclusive, properly grounded, standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), 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 electric 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 of house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard due to overheating.
• Under no circumstances should you 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.
