IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your appliance, follow these basic precautions:

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• DANGER or WARNING: An empty beverage refrigerator can be a hazardous for children or small pets. If disposing of the beverage refrigerator, remove gasket seals, latches, lids or the entire door from your unused appliance, or take other action to ensure the beverage refrigerator is harmless.
• Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance.
• Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids or harsh chemicals. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 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.

INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE

• The appliance is designed for freestanding installation.

• WARNING: Do not store or install the appliance outdoors.

• CAUTION: This appliance is designed for storing and cooling beverage or wines. Do not store perishable food, medicine or other medical products.

• Place your appliance on a hard and level floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.

• To level your appliance, adjust the leveling legs at the bottom of the appliance if needed.

• Allowance of at least 5 inches (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the appliance are
  suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.

• We do not recommend installing the appliance on carpet.

• Do not install the appliance near an oven or other heating source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. For best performance, do not install the appliance behind a cabinet door or block the base grille. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance not to perform properly.

• Avoid locating the appliance in area that may be exposed to excessive moisture.

• Plug in the appliance into an exclusive, grounded wall power 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 qualified electrician or an authorized service center.

INSTALLATION LOCATION

Your beverage refrigerator should be conveniently located for day-to-day use in a dry, well-ventilated room.
Do not install the appliance where the temperature will go below 60°F or above 90°F, because it will not maintain proper temperatures. Be sure to install your beverage refrigerator on a floor strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
A freestanding installation will allow you to install the beverage refrigerator in any place you desire provided that the required clearance space around the appliance is respected. In every setting, there must be an ad- equate ventilation and access for service. Never install or operate the unit in an enclosed area, such as a closed cabinet. Allowance of at least 5 inches (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the appliance are suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
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 contact Whynter Service Department. This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
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 prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the ap- pliance by pulling 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, 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.
