• Solid Door
  

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 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 door

INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE

• The appliance is designed for free-standing or built-in installation
• CAUTION: This appliance is designed for storing and cooling beverages and drinks. Do not store perishable food, medicine or other medical products.
• Place your Beverage Cooler on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level the unit, adjust the front leveling legs.
• For free-standing installation, leave 5 inches (127mm) of space around the back and sides of the unit to allow proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. Even for built-in installation, it is a must to keep ¼” (6.35mm) space on each side and at the top and 2” (51mm) at the rear. Take care that the air vent at the front of the appliance is never covered or blocked in anyway.
• NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator or other heating source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Don’t install in a location where the temperature will fall below 60°F (16°C). For best performance, do not install the appliance behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
• Plug the Beverage Cooler into an exclusive, properly grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.
• NOTE: Model numbers with “OS” in their suffix feature reinforced construction and can be used in the outdoors. Extreme temperature conditions may affect performance

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 center. 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 own individual 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 not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely 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 be 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:

1. Remove the door gasket on the side 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.
2. 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).
3. Replace the door gasket to 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

Mechanical Control

1. There is a TEMP-ADJ knob inside the beverage cooler. The temperature in the cabinet can be adjusted within the range 34-50°F (1-10°C).
2. 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.
3. When using the appliance for the first time, turn the knob to Coldest or 7 to cool down the cabinet quickly.
4. 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.

• NOTE:
  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 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 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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items, including shelves.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda (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 where the controls are located, or any electrical parts.
• 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 of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect the contents.

VACATIONS

• Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
