WARNING WARNING

WARNING

WARNING WARNING

Please Read All Instructions Before Using This beverage center.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

• Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for warnings regarding flammability and other hazards.

• Do not operate the beverage center in the presense of explosive fumes.

• Avoid contact with any moving parts of the automatic ice maker. (some models)

CHILD SAFETY

Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after this beverage center is unpacked. Children should NEVER use these items to play with. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation.

WARNING WARNING

WARNING

WARNING WARNING

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in this beverage center will operate properly.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

• The beverage center must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only electric outlet. The

power cord of the appliance is equipped with a threeprong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Do not use an extension

cord or adapter plug.

• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, service technician or a qualified person to prevent any risk.

• Never unplug this beverage center by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

• Unplug this beverage center before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating this beverage center with insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty.

• Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent this beverage center from being turned off accidentally.

• Avoid connecting this beverage center to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI) circuit.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR BEVERAGE CENTER Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator/ freezer:

• Remove doors.

• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.

• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.

To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the beverage center from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the beverage center.

CAUTION CAUTION

CAUTION

CAUTION CAUTION

To Avoid Property Damage:

• Copper tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼” plastic is not recommended since it greatly increases the potential for water leaks. Manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for supply line.

• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

• Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly.

To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve

1. Disconnect beverage center from electric power source.

2. Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water supply and flush supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shutoff valve.

3. Unscrew plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.

4. Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line, as shown.

5. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (¼ inch). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten.

6. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to rear panel of beverage center as shown.

7. Coil excess water supply line (about 2½ turns) behind beverage center as shown and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.

8. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak.

9. Reconnect beverage center to electrical power source.

10. To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (see ice maker front cover for ON/OFF position of arm).

Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver,

and PhillipsTM screwdriver

• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.

• A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6.4 mm) OD, copper tubing. To determine the length of copper tubing needed, you will need to measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the beverage center to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the beverage center can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).

• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.

• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting the water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

It takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to begin producing ice. Air in new plumbing lines may cause ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray of ice. New plumbing may cause ice to be discolored or have poor flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours.

When purchasing a beer keg, always purchase a keg cold (<38°F), transport as quickly as possible, and get it installed in the cold beverage center within 2 hours. Under most conditions, these guidelines will allow serving of properly cooled beer within 24 hours. Purchasing a keg at a temperature above 38°F, and/or exposure to elevated temperatures longer than 2 hours will require additional time for the beer to be cooled to optimum serving temperature.
