Electrical Connection
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 a qualified electrician or
an authorized service centre. This appliance should be properly grounded for
your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong
plug that mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the
possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~ 60Hz three- prong grounded electrical outlet. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling.
The appliance should always be plugged into its electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
Extension Cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly
recommended that you do Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is necessary that it be a UL
/Cul-listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding
type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord is 115 volts
and at least 10 amperes.
Installing the Door Handle
This beverage cooler includes a stainless steel handle that is not required to
operate the unit. To install the handle, follow the instructions below:
- Remove the door gasket on the side where you wish to install the handle – you can see two designated holes for handle installation. The gasket is easily displaced by hand; no tools are necessary.
- Install the handle tightly as shown with two screws and flat washers provided. (DO NOT over-tighten as this will cause damage to the handle and stainless steel door frame).
- Replace the door gasket in its original position.
Reversing the Door Swing (if desired)
OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE
It is recommended you install the appliance in a place where the ambient
temperature is between 72º and 78ºF (23º-26ºC). If the ambient temperature is
above or below the recommended temperatures, the performance of the unit may
be affected. For example, placing your unit in extremely cold or hot
conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate. The range of 34-50ºF
(1-10ºC) may not be reached.
Control Panel
- There is a TEMP-ADJ knob inside the beverage cooler. The temperature in the cabinet can be adjusted within the range of 34-50°F (1-10°C).
- To lower the temperature in the cabinet, turn the TEMP-ADJ knob from left to right (clockwise) by the indicating black dot on the knob. A setting close to 7 is the coldest, and a setting close to 1 is the warmest.
- When using the appliance for the first time, turn the knob to Coldest or 7 to cool down the cabinet quickly.
- The LED light inside is automatically controlled. When you open the door, the light will turn on immediately and when you close the door, the light will turn off automatically.
NOTES
- If the unit is unplugged, or power is lost or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will not start.
- When you use the unit for the first time or restart the unit after it has been shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees of variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED readout.
- This is normal and is due to the length of the activation time.
- There should not be a problem once the unit has been running for a few hours.
Door Lock
Your unit is provided with a lock and key combination. The keys are located
inside the plastic bag that contains the User Manual. Insert the key into the
lock and turn it counterclockwise to unlock the door. To lock the door, do the
reverse operation, making sure the metal pin is engaged completely. Remove the
key and put it in a secure place for safekeeping.
Defrosting
This appliance requires no manual defrosting. During the operation of the
compressor, ice will build up on the evaporator plate which is at the back of
the inner cabinet. During the compressor’s off-cycle, the ice will melt, drip
down, and collect in a tray above the compressor, where the compressor’s heat
evaporates the water. If you notice excessive ice build-up on the evaporator,
try setting the temperature slightly higher. Also, be sure that the door
gasket is sealing well.
Shelves
The unit has three removable glass shelves. To take out a shelf, first remove
its contents, then raise the back of the shelf slightly and pull the shelf
out.

- Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
- Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the
temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is
opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period, you need to take
the proper steps to protect the contents.
