Consumer Information

Beverage Center

After installation is completed

• Promptly inspect your new Monogram Beverage Center. If it has been damaged, contact the Installer or Dealer immediately.

• This Beverage Center must be properly leveled to ensure correct door alignment and door closure. Contact the Installer if the unit is not level.

• The unit should be centered in the opening. The front face of the door should be 1″ forward of adjacent cabinetry. Contact the installer if clearance is not correct.

• Test the door swing. Carefully open and close the door. The door should not rub or catch on adjacent cabinetry. Notify the installer if the door makes contact with cabinetry.

Please Contact the Installer or Dealer if you experience any of these problems.

Your Beverage Center is shipped with a black toekick on the front of the unit. For shipping purposes, an optional stainless steel toekick is secured to the back of the unit. That toekick should have been removed and installed, or given to you. Keep the unused toekick and other unused or removed parts for possible future use.

Remove packaging

Before using, be sure all packing materials and tape have been removed.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive left from packaging tape on

new appliances is an application of household liquid detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.

REFRIGERANTS

All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to product disposal.

If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration product, check with the company handling the disposal about what to do.

wDANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigeration products are still dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigeration Product:

•Take off the doors.

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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE IT IS USED, THE APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY INSTALLED AND LOCATED AS DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

Page 5

wDANGER! RISQUES POUR LES ENFANTS

Les enfants pris au piège ou morts d’asphyxie sont toujours d’actualité. Les appareils de réfrigération abandonés sont toujours aussi dangereux, même si on n’attend que “quelque jours” pour s’en débarasser. Si vous ne gardez pas votre ancien appareil, veuillez suivre les directives ci-dessous afin de prévenir les accidents.

Avant de vous débarasser de votre vieux appareil de réfrigération :

•Démontez les portes.

•Laissez les clayettes en place afin d’empêcher les enfants de grimper à l’intérieur.

RÉFRIGÉRANTS

Tous les appareils de réfrigération contiennent des refrigerants qui, conformément aux lois fédérales, doivent être enlevés avant toute élimination de l’appareil.

Si vous vous débarrassez de vieux appareils de réfrigération, vérifiez, auprès de la société qui s’occupe de leur élimination, ce que vous devez faire.

IMPORTANTES INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ

LIRE ET CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS

AVANT D’ÊTRE UTILISÉ, L’APPAREIL MÉNAGER DOIT ÊTRE BIEN INSTALLÉ ET SE TROUVER À L’ENDROIT DÉCRIT DANS CETTE MANUEL.

CORDONS PROLONGATEURS

Nous vous recommandons fortement de ne pas utíliser de cordons prolongateurs à cause des risques potentiels qu’ils présentent dans certaines conditions.

Toutefois si vous décidez d’utiliser tout de même un cordon prolongateur, il est absolument nécessaire qu’il s’agisse d’un cordon à 3 fils avec mise à la terre pour appareils électroménagers homologué UL (aux États-Unis) ou homologué CSA (au Canada), pourvu d’une fiche et d’une prise mises à la terre de 15 ampères (minimum) et de 120 volts.

Page 6

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug an appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

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 roll over or damage the power cord.

RACCORDEMENT ÉLECTRIQUE

Ne coupez ni retirez en aucun cas la troisième broche (mise à la terre) de la fiche du cordon d’alimentation. Pour votre sécurité, cet appareil doit être correctement mis à la terre.

Le cordon d’alimentation de cet appareil est muni d’une fiche à 3 broches (mise à la terre) qui se branche dans une prise mural ordinaire à 3 alvéoles (mise à la terre) pour réduire au minimum les risques du chocs électriques.

Faites examiner la prise de courant et le circuit par un électricien qualifié pour vous assurer que la prise est correctement mise à la terre.

Si la prise murale est du type standard à 2 alvéoles, il vous incombe de la faire remplacer par une prise à 3 alvéoles correctement mise à la terre.

Le appareil doit toujours être branché dans sa propre prise de courant, dont la tension nominale est identique à celle indiquée sur la plaque signalétique.

Cette précaution est recommandée pour garantir un rendement optimum et éviter une surcharge des circuits électriques de la résidence, ce qui pourrait créer un risque d’incendie par surschauffe des fils.

Ne débranchez jamais l’appareil en tirant le cordon d’alimentation. Saisissez fermement la fiche du cordon et tirez droit pour la retirer de la prise.

Réparez ou remplacez immédiatement tout cordon effiloché ou endommagé. N’utilisez pas un cordon fendillé ou présentant des signes d’usure.

Lorsque vous déplacez l’appareil du mur, faites attention de ne pas la faire rouler sur le cordon d’alimentation afin de ne pas l’endommager.

Controls and Features

Beverage Center

Interior light and switch

The interior light makes it easy to view your beverage labels and enhances the display of your collection.

When the switch is in the OFF position, the light comes on only when the door is opened. When the switch is in the ON position, the light remains on continuously for your maximum viewing pleasure. For best viewing, do not store a bottle on the top shelf directly under the light. Remember to turn off the light when it is no longer needed.

Glass shelves

Tempered glass shelves in the beverage center unit are removable for easy cleaning or for storing larger items.

To remove a shelf, open the door completely to avoid potential damage to the gasket. Lift up on the back of the shelf slightly. Tilt the shelf to one side at an angle while pulling forward.

To replace a shelf, open the door completely to avoid potential damage to the gasket. Tilt the shelf to one side at an angle and slide toward the back wall, placing one side onto the shelf support. Place the other side onto the opposite shelf support. Ensure rear locking tabs are engaged. When installed properly, the shelf will not slide forward when gently pulled.

Temperature control

The operating temperatures of the beverage center range from the low forties to the mid fifties.

This appliance is not a refrigerator and does not maintain temperatures like a refrigerator (below 40°F).

Do not install the beverage center where the temperature will go below 55°F (13°C) or above 90°F (32°C).

As with any refrigeration-type product, there is a slight temperature variance at different locations within the cabinet.

The coolest area will be in the lower part of the cabinet.

The cooler area will be in the middle section. The upper part of the cabinet is the

warmest section. When the temperature is adjusted, allow

24 hours for the unit to stabilize.

To set the control, turn it to the midpoint setting (approximately 45ºF). Once the beverage center is loaded, allow at least 24 hours before making any adjustments to the initial setting.

NOTES:

•This unit is designed for storing and

cooling beverages. It is not intended for the storage of perishable foods.

•The lowest temperatures are found on the lower shelves/racks and toward the rear of the shelves/racks.

To remove, lift up on the back of the shelf Tilt the shelf at an angle while removing

Loading tips and suggestions

The bottom two full extension drawers hold six bottles each and are loaded with necks facing the rear. Tall bottles should not be loaded on the bottom drawer because they may prevent the door from closing.

Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the beverage center shelves or full extension drawers. They could seriously injure themselves and possibly cause damage to the beverage center.

NOTE: This unit is for storing beverages only and not intended for the storage of perishable foods.

Bottom drawer arrangement

Removing full extension drawers

The bottom full extension drawers pull out so bottles can conveniently be added or removed.

The upper full extension slide can be removed for magnums or larger bottles.

To remove:

1. Pull the full extension drawer out to the

STOP position.

2. Push the tab on right drawer guide down

while pulling the tab on left guide up, and pull the drawer out.

Tab (push tab down on right drawer guide, pull tab up on left drawer guide)

Wood drawer fronts

The full extension drawer fronts on the beverage center are unfinished cherry wood. During use, oil from hands may accumulate and stain the wood.

•The drawer fronts may be stained and

sealed to match adjacent cabinetry. The tinted glass will make the stained wood appear darker. A true color match can be seen only when the door is opened.

•Apply the stain and sealer according to

the manufacturer’s instructions. To avoid unpleasant odor, keep the door open to ventilate and allow the stain/sealer to dry completely before using the product.

NOTE: Natural wood may vary slightly in grain and color.

NOTE: Make sure the tabs on the full extension drawer guides are fully engaged before loading any bottles. Pull the drawers out all the way to the STOP position and push back in several times to make sure locking tabs are properly engaged.

Glass door

Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water and a soft cloth to clean the glass door. Do not use any abrasive powders.

Door gasket

The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and water, a baking soda solution or a mild scouring powder. Rinse well.

After cleaning the door gasket, apply a thin layer of paraffin wax or petroleum jelly to the door gasket at the hinge side. This helps keep the gasket from sticking and bending out of shape.

Light bulb replacement

Unplug the beverage center before replacing the light bulb.

To remove the light shield, push in the tab on the left side of the shield and lower it. Replace with a 15 watt appliance bulb.

In the event of a power failure

If the power fails, open the door as infrequently as possible to maintain the temperature.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Care and Cleaning

Beverage Center

Unplug the beverage center before cleaning.

Cabinet

The exterior surfaces can be washed with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clear water. Never use abrasive scouring powders.

Page 11

Care and Cleaning

Beverage Center

Cleaning the inside

Turn the beverage center unit OFF or unplug the unit before cleaning. Use a

slightly damp cloth or sponge when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.

Use warm water and baking soda solution— about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse and wipe dry.

Other parts of the beverage center unit— including the door gaskets, full extension drawers and glass shelves—can be cleaned the same way.

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water because the extreme temperature difference may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves carefully. Rough handling of tempered glass can cause it to shatter.

Drain hole

Periodically check the drain hole and channel for any debris. If the drain is blocked, condensation will not drain properly.

To check and clean the drain hole, remove the bottom two glass shelves. Sweep a damp cloth along the channel in the back of the beverage center. Use a finger to sweep away any debris from the drain hole.

Unplug the beverage center before cleaning.
