- Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. They can be hazardous and can degrade product performance.
- This appliance should not, under any circumstanc-es, be installed to an un-grounded electrical supply.
- Do not remove the grounding prong from the power cord. (See Figure 2).
- Do not use an adapter. (See Figure 3).
- Do not splash or spray water from a hose on the appliance. Doing so may cause an electrical shock, which may result in severe injury or death.
Electrical Connection
A grounded 115 volt, 15 amp dedicated circuit is required.
This product is factory equipped with a power supply cord that has a three-
pronged, grounded plug. It must be plugged into a mating grounding type
receptacle in accor-dance with the National Electrical Code and applicable lo-
cal codes and ordinances (see Figure 4). If the circuit does not have a
grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the
customer to provide the proper power supply. The third ground prong should
not, under any cir-cumstances, be cut or removed.
NOTE
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are prone to nui-sance tripping
which will cause the appliance to shut down. GFCI’s are generally not used on
circuits with power equip-ment that must run unattended for long periods of
time, un-less required to meet local building codes and ordinances.
INSTALLING THE ANTI TIP DEVICE
WARNING
- ALL APPLIANCES CAN TIP RESULTING IN INJURY.
- INSTALL THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET PACKED WITH THE APPLIANCE.
- FOLLOW THE INSTRUC-TIONS BELOW
Anti-Tip Device
If your beverage center is not located under a counter top (free standing),
you must use an anti-tip device installed as per these instructions. If the
beverage center is removed from its location for any reason, make sure that
the device is properly engaged with the anti-tip bracket when you push the
beverage center back into the original location. If the device is not properly
engaged, there is a risk of the beverage center tipping over, with the
potential for property dam-age or personal injury.
NOTE
If installing on a concrete floor, concrete fasteners are required, (not
included with the anti-tip kit).
CAUTION
Any finished flooring should be protected with appropriate material to
avoid damage when moving the unit.
Floor Mount Installation
The anti-tip bracket is to be located on the floor in the left or right rear
corner of the wine cellar as shown in Figure 14.
Step by step instructions for locating the po-sition of the bracket:
- Decide where you want to place the beverage center. Slide it into place, being careful not to damage the floor, leaving 1″ (2.5 cm) of clearance from the rear wall to allow room for the anti-tip bracket.
- Raise the rear leveling legs approximately ¹⁄4″ (6 mm) to allow engagement with the anti-tip bracket. Level the unit by adjusting all the leveling legs as required. Turning the leveling leg counterclockwise will raise the unit and clock-wise will lower the unit.
- Make sure the beverage center is in the desired loca-tion, then mark on the floor the rear and side corner of the cabinet where the anti-tip bracket will be installed. If the installation does not allow marking the rear corner of the cabinet, then make temporary lines on the floor marking the front corner of the cabinet, excluding the door. Slide the beverage center out of the way. From the temporary line extend the sidewall line back 211⁄2″ (54.6 cm) as shown in Figure 15.
- Align the anti-tip bracket to the marks on the floor so the side of the bracket lines up with the side of the cabinet mark, and the “V” notches on the anti-tip bracket line up with the end of the 211⁄2″ (54.6 cm) line (Rear of cabinet line).
- Fasten the anti-tip bracket to the floor using the supplied screw. (See Figure 15).
- Slide the cabinet back into position, making sure the rear cabinet leveling leg slides under the anti-tip bracket engaging the slot.
INSTALLING THE ANTI TIP DEVICE
NOTE
When the floor mounted anti-tip bracket is used the mini-mum adjusted
height of the cabinet is increased by 3⁄8″ (9 mm).
DRAWER DIVIDER
The top and bottom drawer have an adjustable drawer divider. To adjust the divider, making the 4 areas larger or smaller, move the center post along the length of the rods in either direction. See Figure 16 and 16a. The divider can also be removed from the drawer.
CARE AND CLEANING
Front Grille
Be sure that nothing obstructs the required airflow open-ings in front of the
cabinet. At least once or twice a year, brush or vacuum lint and dirt from the
front grille area (see page 8).
CAUTION
SHOCK HAZARD: Disconnect electrical power from the appliance before cleaning with soap and water.
Cabinet
The painted cabinet can be washed with either mild soap and water and
thoroughly rinsed with clear water. NEVER use abrasive scouring cleaners.
Interior
Wash the interior compartment with mild soap and water. Do NOT use an abrasive
cleaner, solvent, polish cleaner or undiluted detergent.
Care of Appliance
- Avoid leaning on the door, you may bend the door hinges or tip the appliance.
- Exercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming, or mop-ping near the front of the appliance. Damage to the grille can occur.
- Periodically clean the interior of the appliance as needed.
- Periodically check and/or clean the front grille as needed.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If a power failure occurs, try to correct it as soon as pos-sible. Minimize
the number of door openings while the power is off so as not to adversely
affect the appliance’s temperature.
Light assembly replacement
All models use an LED to illuminate the interior of the ap-pliance. This
component is very reliable, but should it fail, contact a qualified service
technician for replacement of the LED.
The following suggestions will minimize the cost of operating your refrigeration appliance.
- Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance (cooker, dishwasher, etc.), heating air duct, or other heat sources.
- Install product out of direct sunlight.
- Ensure the front grille vents at front of appliance be-neath the door are not obstructed and kept clean to allow ventilation for the refrigeration system to expel heat.
- Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not shared with other appliances).
- When initially loading your new product, or whenever large quantities of warm contents are placed within the refrigerated storage compartment, minimize door openings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull down to compartment set temperature.
- Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will require less appliance run time than an empty compartment.
- Ensure door closing is not obstructed by contents stored in your appliance.
- Allow hot items to reach room temperature before placing in the product.
- Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.
- Use the warmest temperature control set temperature that meets your personal preference and provides the proper storage for your stored contents.
- When on vacation or away from home for extended periods, set the appliance to the warmest acceptable temperature for the stored contents.
- Set the control to the off position if cleaning the appliance requires the door to be open for an extended period of time.
- For wine storage products: When serving temperatures are not required, return the compartment(s) set temperature to the ideal red and white wine long term storage tem perature of 13°C / 55°F.
STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE
Background
Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel, but it is not stained 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. t 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 & 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. 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 of ammonia. 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 which could scratch the 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 in close
proximity to chlorine chemicals. Whichever cleaning product you chose, it
should be used in strict accordance with the instructions of the cleaner
manufacturer.

press the LIGHT key again to retain the changed setting. To exit the service
mode scroll to option “O” and press the LIGHT key. After Ave minutes of not
touching any keys the mode will also exit automatically.
Thermistors
Thermistors are used for various temperature readings. Thermistors provide reliable temperature readings using a resistance which varies based on surrounding temperatures. If a faulty thermistor is suspected it may be tested using an accurate ohmmeter. Both thermistors in the unit are identical. If a thermistor is suspected of being defective, the resistance can be verified. Place the thermistor in an ice water bath, the resistance should read 16.lk Ohms +/-5% on your meter. Thermistor connections must be kept clean. A thermistor connection that has become corroded can cause resistance values from the thermistor to change as they pass through a dirty connection to the board. It is for that reason that we apply dielectric grease to all of our thermistor connections. Dielectric grease will help to keep thermistor connections clean and dry. If you change a thermistor in the unit please re- apply dielectric grease to the connection. If you encounter a dirty thermistor connection, you should replace the thermistor and the thermistor harness. Thermistor error information can be found in the Control Operations – Service section. This unit has two thermistors.
Thermistor one (Zone):
Located along the right hand side wall. It is used to maintain the operating
temperature within that zone. Thermistor two (Evaporator): Located on the
evaporator. It is used for defrost.
THERMISTOR FAILURE
Zone Thermistor
If the zone thermistor in the unit fails, the unit will continue to cool in a
backup mode (Self Preservation Mode) to preserve the integrity of the
contents. The unit will otherwise operate normally.
Evaporator Thermistor
If the evaporator thermistor fails, the unit will rely on a preset defrost
timer during defrost cycles. The unit will otherwise operate normally. Refer
to defrost section.
