THE CONTROLS OF

YOUR BEVERAGE

CENTER

To start the Beverage Center, turn the temperature control to the position corresponding to the desired cooling. The Beverage Center temperature will vary depending on the quantity of cans stored and on the frequency with which the door is opened.

Setting The Temperature Control:

The temperature of the Beverage Center compartment is controlled by adjusting/setting the thermostat control knob, located on the exterior rear wall of the cabinet. To start the Beverage Center and achieve maximum cooling quickly;

• Turn the temperature control knob clockwise to the furthest ‘Max’ (maximum) setting on the wider blue section of the graduated control dial.

• Allow the unit to run at this setting for 3-4 hours.

• When maximum cooling is achieved, turn back the temperature control knob setting to the 10 o’clock position on the graduated blue control dial.See Fig. A.

• To turn off the beverage center, (no cooling) rotate the control knob to the “O”(off) position. See Fig. B.

Fig. A

Fig. B

Turn the control to the “O” (off) position to temporarily disconnect the cooling cycle. When the beverage center is not to be used for a long period of time, disconnect the plug and leave the door partially open.

NOTE:Wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting ifoperation has been interrupted. Defrosting: Your beverage center is designed with an “Auto-Cycle” defrost system.

What is Auto Cycle defrost? The refrigerated surfaces of the fresh food compartment defrost automatically,

during the “off”cycle of the cold control (thermostat). Defros twater from the fresh food compartment is dis-posed of automatically, by means of being channeled onto a drip tray located on the compressor. Heat transfer from the compressor causes the defrost water to evaporate.
