WARNING  Help Prevent Tragedies
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous – even if they sit out for “just a few hours”. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

• Take off the doors or remove the drawers.
• Leave the shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.

INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

Select Location
The proper location will ensure the peak performance of your appliance. We recommend a location where the unit will be out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. To ensure your product performs to specifications, the recommended installation location temperature range is from 55 to 115°F (13 to 46°C).

Cabinet Clearance
Ventilation is required from the bottom front of the appliance. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions. Adjacent cabinets and countertops can be installed around the appliance as long as the front grille remains unobstructed.

Figure 2

Leveling Legs

• Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the appliance should be set so the unit is firmly positioned on the floor and level from side to side and front to back.
• The overall height of your appliance may be adjusted between the minimum, 333⁄4″ (85.7 cm), by turning the leveling leg in (CW ↷) and the maximum, 343⁄4″ (88.3 cm) by turning the leveling leg out (CCW ↶).
• To adjust the leveling legs, place the appliance on a solid surface and protect the floor beneath the legs to avoid scratching the floor. With the assistance of another person, lean the appliance back to access the front leveling legs.
• Raise or lower the legs to the required dimension by turning the legs. Repeat this process for the rear by tilting the appliance forward using caution. On a level surface check the appliance for levelness and adjust accordingly.
• The front grille screws may be loosened and the grille adjusted to the desired height. When adjustment is complete tighten the two front grille screws. (See Figure 5).

CAUTION

Front Grille
Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the front grille allow air to flow through the condenser heat exchanger. Restrictions to this airflow will result in increased energy usage and loss of cooling capacity. For this reason, it is important this area not be obstructed and that the grille openings be kept clean. Lynx Grills does not recommend the use of a custom- made grille as airflow may be restricted. (See Figure 2).

• The minimum rough-in opening required is to be larger than the adjusted height of the cabinet.
• A grounded 15 amp dedicated circuit is required. Follow all local building codes when installing electrical and appliances.

USING YOUR ELECTRONIC CONTROL

Starting Your Refrigerator
Plug the beer dispenser power cord into a wall outlet. Your beer dispenser will begin cooling after power is applied. If your beer dispenser does not start, check that the beer dispenser is turned on and the set temperature is cold enough.

Turning Your Refrigerator ON or OFF
If the beer dispenser is on, the beer dispenser temperature will be shown on the display. To turn the beer dispenser off, press and hold the “ON/OFF” button for three (3) seconds. “OFF” will appear on the display. If the beer dispenser is not on, “OFF” will be shown on the display. To turn the beer dispenser on, press and hold the “ON/OFF” button for three (3) seconds. The beer dispenser temperature will be shown on the display.

Set temperature
To set the beer dispenser temperature, press and hold the “SET” button. When the “SET” button is pressed, the display will show the set temperature. While holding the “SET” button, press the “WARMER” or “COLDER” buttons to adjust the set temperature.

Beverage Dispenser Operation
The available temperature range of the beer dispenser is 34° to 46°F (1° to 8° C). It may take up to 24 hours for your beer dispenser to reach the desired temperature. This will depend on the amount of content loaded and several door openings and closings. For best results allow the beer dispenser to “pull down” to the desired set temperature before loading. Once contents are loaded, allow at least 48 hours for the temperature to stabilize before making any adjustments to the set temperature.

Alarms
Your electronic control will monitor the beer dispenser function and alert you with a series of audible and visual alarms.

Door Ajar Alarm:
If the door has been left open for over five (5) minutes, the alarm will sound in one (1) second intervals. The display panel will flash “do” and the Alarm LED located at the top left of the display below the word “Alarm” will be illuminated. This will stop as soon as the door is closed.

Temperature Sensor Fault:
If the controller detects that the temperature sensor is not properly functioning, a temperature sensor alarm will sound in (1) second intervals. “E1” will flash on the display panel and the Alarm LED located at the top left of the display below the word “Alarm” will be illuminated. Please call Lynx Grills Customer Service or your dealer if this error code is displayed.

High and Low-Temperature Alarm:
If the storage compartment temperature deviates excessively from the set-point temperature, the alarm will sound in (1) second intervals. The display panel will flash either “Hi” or “Lo” depending upon the condition and the Alarm LED light at the top left of the display below the word “Alarm” will be illuminated. The alarm will remain active until the condition is corrected.

USING YOUR ELECTRONIC CONTROL

NOTE: After a high-temperature alarm condition, check all perishables to ensure they are safe for consumption.

NOTE: The temperature alarm may occur as a result of high usage or the introduction of warm contents to the storage compartment. If the temperature alarm continues to occur, your unit may require service.

Alarm Mute
Press any key to mute the audible portion of an alarm.

NOTE: This action will only mute the alarm. If the condition that caused the alarm continues, the alarm code will continue to flash and will sound for 20 seconds every 60 minutes.

STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE AND ENERGY-SAVING TIPS

Background

• Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel, but it is not stain or corrosion-proof. Stainless steels can discolor or corrode if not maintained properly.
• Stainless steels differ from ordinary carbon steels by the amount of chromium present. It is this chromium that provides an invisible protective film on the surface called chrome-oxide. This protective chrome-oxide film on the surface can be damaged or contaminated, which may result in discoloration, staining, or corrosion of the base metal.

Care and Cleaning

• Routine cleaning of the stainless steel surfaces will serve to greatly extend the life of your product by removing contaminants. This is especially important in coastal areas which can expose the stainless to severe contaminants such as halide salts, (sodium chloride).
• It is strongly recommended to periodically inspect and thoroughly clean crevices, weld points, under gaskets, rivets, bolt heads, and any locations where small amounts of liquid could collect, become stagnant, and concentrate contaminates. Additionally, any mounting hardware that is showing signs of corrosion should be replaced.
• The frequency of cleaning will depend upon the installation location, environment, and usage conditions.

Choosing a Cleaning Product

• The choice of a proper cleaning product is ultimately that of the consumer, and there are many products from which to choose. Depending upon the type of cleaning and the degree of contamination, some products are better than others.
• Typically the most effective and efficient means for routine cleaning of most stainless steel products is to give the sur-faces a brisk rubbing with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and a gentle detergent, or mild mixture Rub-bing should, to the extent possible, follow the polish lines of the steel, and always insure thorough rinsing after cleaning.
• Although some products are called “stainless steel clean-ers,” some may contain abrasives that could scratch the surface, (compromising the protective chrome-oxide film), and some many contain chlorine bleach which will dull, tarnish, or discolor the surface if not completely removed.

After the stainless surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned, a good quality car wax may be applied to help maintain the finish.

NOTE
Stainless steel products should never be installed, or stored near chlorine chemicals. Whichever cleaning product you choose, it should be used in strict accordance with the instructions of the cleaner manufacturer.

Energy Saving Tips
The following suggestions will minimize the cost of operating your refrigeration appliance.

1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance (cooker, dishwasher, etc.), heating air duct, or other heat sources.
2. Install product out of direct sunlight.
3. Ensure the front grille vents at the front of the appliance be-neath the door are not obstructed and are kept clean to allow ventilation for the refrigeration system to expel heat.
4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not shared with other appliances).
5. When initially loading your new product, or whenever large quantities of warm contents are placed within a refrigerated storage compartment, minimize door openings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull down to the compartment’s set temperature.
6. Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will require less appliance run time than an empty compartment.
7. Ensure door closing is not obstructed by contents stored in your appliance.
8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before placing them in the product.
9. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.
10. Use the warmest temperature control set temperature that meets your personal preference and provides the proper storage for your stored contents.
11. When on vacation or away from home for extended periods, set the appliance to the warmest acceptable temperature for the stored contents.
12. Set the control to the “off” position if cleaning the appliance requires the door to be open for an extended period.

• Lynx has taken the quality, workmanship, service, and innovation of the commercial market and incorporated it into the Lynx Professional Grills line of consumer and commercial products. The combination of creative design, superior materials, and exceptional craftsmanship elevates Lynx products to a class of their own.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before You Call for Service
If the appliance appears to be malfunctioning, read through this manual first. If the problem persists, check the troubleshooting guide below. Locate the problem in the guide and refer to the cause and its remedy before calling for service. The problem may be something very simple that can be solved without a service call. However, it may be required to contact your dealer or a qualified service technician.

WARNING: Electrocution Hazard

• Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the appliance until the main electrical power has been disconnected. Turning the appliance control “OFF” does not remove electrical power from the unit’s wiring.
• Replace all parts and panels before operating.

CAUTION: In the unlikely event you lose cooling in your unit, do not unplug the product from the electric supply, but do call a qualified service technician immediately. The loss of cooling capacity may be a result of excessive frost build-up on the evaporator cooling coil. In this case, removing power from the unit will result in the melting of this excessive quantity of ice, which could generate meltwater that exceeds the capacity of the defrost drain system and could result in water damage to your home. The end-user will be ultimately responsible for any water damage caused by prematurely turning the unit off without appropriately managing the excess water run-off.
