OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE

Temperature Control

• Your beverage cooler has one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is located on the top center of the beverage cooler compartment.
• The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control knob to “7” and run for at least 2 hours before putting beverages inside. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before beverages is stored.
• The range of the beverage cooler temperature control is from position “1” the warmest to “7” the coldest. Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs.
• To turn off the beverage cooler, please turn the temperature control knob to “0”. Please note that turning the temperature control knob to “0” position stops the cooling cycle, but does not disconnect the power supply to the beverage cooler.

WARNING: Do not set the temperature control to the setting of the “7” position for longer than 8 hours.

• If the unit is unplugged or loses power; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the beverage cooler will not start.
• Changes in ambient temperature will affect the internal temperature of the beverage cooler.
• If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust the thermostat control by one increment at a time. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize between adjustments.

Changing The Interior Light

Before removing the interior light, turn off the beverage cooler first and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

• Use Phillips screwdriver to take out the screw holding the transparent light cover.
• Remove the transparent light cover gently.
• Pull out the existing light bulb by unscrewing it counterclockwise.
• Insert a new light bulb (E12, max. 15W) by screwing it in clockwise.
• Replace the transparent light cover and tighten the screw.

Automatic Defrost

• There is no need for manual defrosting of this beverage cooler due to the automatic defrosting function.
