INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Beverage cooler

• Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
  • 3 wired Shelves
  • Stainless Steel Handle
  • Instruction Manual
  • 2 Extra Screws for Installing Handle

IMPORTANT: Before connecting this Beverage cooler to a 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.
• Install the handle on the left side of the door.

To Install Stainless Steel Handle

1. Pull away the door gasket in the area where the handle is to be installed, as Illustration #1. The gasket is easily removed by hand, no tools are necessary.
2. Align the handle with the pre-installed screws on the door frame. Tighten the screws with a screwdriver until the handles secure tightly against the door frame, as Illustration #2. (Do NOT over tighten as this will cause damage to the handle assembly).
3. Replace the door gasket to its original position.

Note: This Beverage cooler includes stainless steel handles that are not required to operate this Beverage cooler. If you choose not to use the handle supplied, simply follow step 1 to access the pre-installed screws and remove them and then place 2 decorative plugs (NOT included) into the two holes separately. 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.

YC-150A Installation Drawing (mm/inch)

• 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 electrical consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the cooler not to 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 electrical 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 house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated.
• Do not under any circumstances 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 and will void your product warranty.

Storage
Many cans and bottles may differ in size and dimensions. As such the actual number of bottles you may be able to store may vary.

The standard can as below: The stated loading capacity is based on the standard-size soda drink with 2.6” in diameter and 4.84” in height.

Wired Shelves
The appliance is equipped with three wired shelves. The shelves are without telescopic rails, designed with a stopper on each side of the shelf track to prevent bottles from falling. You can remove the shelf by lift up and pull it out smoothly. Before removing a Shelf from the appliance, it is necessary to remove all the bottles on the Shelf. To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure to have the door opened fully all the way before pulling the shelves out.

• How to remove the shelf: Move the shelf to the position where the notch of the wired shelf is directly under the stopper and lift the shelf. Please ensure these are replaced when the shelf is put back.
• How to restore the shelf: align the shelves to the STOPPER position and push them back to make sure the shelves are properly engaged. Make sure the shelves are fully engaged before loading any bottle into the cabinet.

Cleaning Your Beverage cooler
IMPORTANT: Always unplug the cooler before cleaning or performing maintenance. Never use harsh cleansers or scouring pads to clean any part of the cooler.

• Turn off the power, unplug the Beverage cooler, and remove all items including shelves.
• Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area near the controls, or any electrical parts.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and a mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Do not use steel wool or steel brush to rub the stainless steel, which will contaminate the stainless steel with steel particles and rusting may occur.

Power failure
