Preparing the Cabinet for Use
Refrigerant
⚠ DANGER Take caution when handling, moving and using the product to avoid damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak
⚠ WARNING All service work shall be performed by factory authorized service personnel and all component parts shall be replaced with like components to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.
⚠ CAUTION If service is necessary, repair work must be performed by a Perlick authorized servicer. Work done by unqualified individuals could potentially be dangerous and will void the warranty.
All models covered in this user manual are manufactured using refrigerant R290 (Propane). R290 is a hydrocarbon. This refrigerant is flammable and is only allowed for use in appliances which fulfill the requirements of UL 471 (To cover potential risk originated from the use of flammable refrigerants). Consequently, R290 is only allowed to be used in refrigerating appliances which are designed for this refrigerant and fulfill the above-mentioned standard.
- R290 is heavier than air. The concentration will always be highest at floor level.
- The explosion limits are as follows: o Lower Limit: 1.7% by vol. (37 g/m3) o Upper Limit: 9.5% by vol. (177 g/m3) o Ignition Temperature: 470 °C
NOTICE
This product contains blown foam insulation using blowing agent R-611 (Methyl
Formate). The foam in this product does not contain HFC’s, CFC’s, or HCFC’s.

NOTICE To comply with NSF requirements, cabinet must be sealed to floor or on legs, casters, or rollers.
ADJUSTABLE PARTITIONS & SHELVING
Perlick Bottle Coolers may be provided with adjustable partitions and shelving which will accommodate various bottle sizes.
- Remove bottles and cans from their cases before placing in cooler to ensure proper air flow.
- When loading product into cabinet, care must be taken to avoid blocking airflow into and out of the evaporator. Maintain at least 2″ of clearance on evaporator air intake and exhaust for proper operation.
PLACING THE CABINET
To assure maximum performance, fresh air must be allowed to circulate through the machinery compartment. It is important to allow at least two inched of clearance at the back or left end of the cabinet. Do not place anything in front of the cabinet that would obstruct air flow at these grilles. Do not place the unit in an unventilated small room.
⚠ CAUTION Removing the factory installed back clearance spacers without
providing proper left side grill clearance for compressor air flow will void
the warranty.
Cabinet should be leveled.
For sanitation purposes, it may be necessary to seal the base of the cabinet to the floor. This can be accomplished by laying a bead of silicone sealant along the base of the cabinet as shown by the figure below (figure 1).
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
A digital temperature control is located on the front face of the Bottle
Cooler, above the condensing unit housing. It is factory set at approximately
38°F for standard refrigeration, 30°F for low temperature models, and 50°F for
wine temperature models. Make adjustments as detailed below to attain the
desired temperature.
Digital Temperature Control
To display the Set point values press the key when the `SET’ label is
displayed. The Set point value appears on the display. To change the Set point
value, press the

Maintenance
CLEANING THE CONDENSER
⚠ DANGER Flammable Refrigerant. Risk of fire or explosion. Do not damage refrigeration tubes.
- The condenser (located behind the from grille) should be inspected every 30 days, and cleaned, if necessary. Failure to keep the condenser clean will cause a loss in condensing unit efficiency, or compressor failure.
CLEANING THE DOORS
- Doors should be periodically removed from the cabinet and inspected for a buildup of foreign materials, such as syrups, beer, etc. Build-ups on the underside of the doors, along with the cabinet breaker strips on which they ride, will cause them to bind, and therefore, not function as designed. If dirty, these surfaces should be cleaned with a mild detergent and water and then coated with an NSF certified silicone lubricating material.
To remove doors:
- With door closed, lift it upward by its handle and slide forward until doors clears the cabinet top. Use the reverse procedure to reinstall the doors.
CLEANING THE CABINETS
- Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent and water to clean the inside and outside of the cabinet. Dry thoroughly. Do not allow cleaning agents or large amounts of water to go down the drain. Use an acceptable stainless steel polish to clean all stainless steel surfaces. Never use steel wool or scouring pads to clean stainless steel.
Avoiding Stainless Steel Corrosion
Corrosion can be prevented by following product cautions, cleaning
instructions and avoiding use of certain chemicals or objects which will cause
stainless steel corrosion.
STAINLESS STEEL ENEMY
- Steel wool or steel scouring pads
- Cherry/Orange/Olive juice
- Chlorine Bleach
- Sharp Objects
