BEVERAG ECENTER SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your beverage center, follow these basic
precautions:
• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
• Do not remove ground prong.
• Do not use an adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Disconnect power before servicing.
• Replace all parts and panels before operating.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Remove door or drawer(s) from your old refrigerated
appliance.
• Use nonflammable cleaner.
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from beverage center.
• Use two or more people to move and install beverage
center.
Proper Disposal of Your Old
Refrigerated Appliance
Suffocation Hazard
Remove door or drawer(e) from your old refrigerated
appliance.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned beverage centers are still
dangerous - even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are
getting rid of your old beverage center, please follow these
instructions to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerated Appliance:
• Take off the door.
• Leave the racks and shelves in place so that children may not
easily climb inside.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
TOOLS NEEDED:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
• Phillips screwdriver
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from beverage center.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
To ensure proper ventilation for your beverage center, allow for a
1/4"(6.35 mm) space on each side and at the top. When installing
your beverage center next to a fixed wall, leave 21/2'' (6.35 cm)
minimum clearance on each side to allow for the door to swing
open.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the beverage
center near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install
in a location where the temperature will fall below 55 °F (13°C). For
best performance, do not install the beverage center behind a
cabinet door or block the base grille.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Before you move your beverage center into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection.
Recommended grounding method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your beverage center be provided. Use an
outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an
extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, unplug beverage center or disconnect
power.
II ii I
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
beverage center.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Remove the Packaging
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the beverage center. Rub a small amount of liquid dish
soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm
water and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your beverage center.
For more information, see "Beverage Center Safety."
• Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
When Moving Your Beverage Center:
Your beverage center is heavy. When moving the appliance
for service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the
appliance straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or
"walk" the appliance when trying to move it, as floor
damage could occur.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the beverage
center takes some weight off the leveling legs. This makes it
easier to adjust the leveling legs.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your beverage center before using it. See the cleaning
instructions in "Beverage Center Care."
Door Closing
Your beverage center has four leveling legs. Ifyour beverage
center seems unsteady or you want the door to close more easily,
adjust the beverage center's tilt using the instructions below.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord,
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
4.
Open the door and check to make sure that it closes as easily
as you like. If not, tilt the beverage center slightly more to the
rear by turning both front leveling screws to the right. It may
take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling
legs the same amount.
Remove the Base Grille
1. Open the beverage center door.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws. Push
both tabs in toward the center to release the base grille from
the beverage center.

or turn the leveling legs to the left to raise it. It may take
several turns of the leveling legs to adjust the tilt of the
beverage center.
Replace the Base Grille
1. Open the beverage center door.
2. Position the base grille so that both tabs align and the base
grille snaps into place. Replace the two screws. Tighten the
screws.
BEVERAGE CENTER USE
Your new beverage center may make sounds that your old one
didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, such as the flooring and surrounding structures, can
make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds
of sounds and what may be making them.
• Your beverage center is designed to run more efficiently to
keep your food items at the desired temperatures and to
minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and
fans may cause your beverage center to run longer than your
old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound
from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize
performance.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items
stored inside the beverage center.
• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your beverage center.
• You may hear water running into the drain pan when the
beverage center is defrosting.
• You may hear clicking sounds when the beverage center
starts or stops running.
For your convenience, your beverage center control is preset at
the factory. When you first install your beverage center, make
sure that the control is still preset to the mid-setting as shown.
Temperature Separator (Temperature Display)
The temperature separator displays the current temperatures
(Fahrenheit or Celsius) for the upper, middle and lower zones
(compartments) of the beverage center. To adjust the
temperature settings, see "Adjusting Controls" earlier in this
section.

The beverage center has an interior light that comes on any time
the door is opened. You may also turn the light on at any time by
opening the door and pressing the exterior switch located beside
the temperature control knob on the base grille.
NOTE: Leaving the light on for an extended period of time will
slightly increase the temperature of the beverage center.
BEVERAGE CENTER CARE
6. Clean the condenser coils regularly. They are located behind
the base grille. Coils may need to be cleaned as often as
every other month. This may help save energy.
• Remove the base grille. See "Base Grille."
• Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to
clean the condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
• Replace the base grille.
7. Plug in beverage center or reconnect power.
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Clean the beverage center about once a month to prevent odors
from building up. Wipe up spills immediately.
To clean your beverage center:
1. Unplug beverage center or disconnect power.
2. Remove all racks and shelves from inside the beverage
center.
3. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water.
• To protect wood trim pieces, do not immerse the entire
rack into water when cleaning.
• Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior
and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels,
scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can
scratch or damage materials.
• To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt
[26 g to 0.95 L] of water).
4. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do
not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing
chlorine. These can scratch or damage materials. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. For additional protection against
damage to painted metal exteriors, apply appliance wax (or
auto paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wax plastic
parts.
NOTE: To keep your stainless steel beverage center looking
like new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested
that you use the manufacturer's approved Stainless Steel
Cleaner & Polish. To order the cleaner, see "Accessories."
IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only?
Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish to come into
contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces,
dispenser covers or door gaskets. If accidental contact does
occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in
warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

follow these steps.
1. Remove all wine bottles from the beverage center.
2. Unplug the beverage center.
3. Clean the beverage center. See "Cleaning."
4. Tape a rubber or wood block to the top of the door to prop it
open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold
from building up.
Moving
When you are moving your beverage center to a new home,
follow these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. Remove all wine bottles from the beverage center.
2. Unplug the beverage center.
3-ROUBLESHOOTING
Trythe solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
3. Clean, wipe, and dry it thoroughly.
4. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.
5. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the beverage
center.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to
the "Installation Instructions" section for preparation instructions.
Your beverage center will not operate
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.
Is the Beverage Center Control turned to the OFF
position? See "Using the Control."
The lights do not work
• is a light bulb loose in the socket? Unplug beverage center
or disconnect power. Gently remove the bulb and reinsert.
Plug in beverage center or reconnect power.
• Has a light bulb burned out? Replace with an appliance
bulb of the same wattage, size, and shape. See "Changing
the Light Bulb."
The motor seems to run too much
Is the temperature outside hotter than normal? Expect the
motor to run longer under warm conditions. At normal
temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of
the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even
more of the time.
Is the door opened often? Expect the motor to run longer
when this occurs. In order to conserve energy, try to get
everything you need out of the beverage center at once, keep
wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy to
find, and close the door as soon as the wine is removed.
• Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See "Using the Control."
• is the door closed completely? Push the door firmly shut. If
it will not shut all the way, see "The door will not close
completely" later in this section.
• Are the condenser coils dirty? This prevents air transfer and
makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. See
"Cleaning."
Temperature is too warm
Is the door opened often? Be aware that the beverage
center will warm when this occurs. In order to keep the
beverage center cool, try to get everything you need out of
the beverage center at once, keep wine bottles positioned
label side up so that they are easy to find, and close the door
as soon as the wine is removed.
• Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See "Using the Control."
• is the base grille blocked? For best performance, do not
install the beverage center behind a cabinet door or block the
base grille.
There is interior moisture buildup
There is water in the defrost drain pan
• Is the beverage center defrosting? The water will
evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into the defrost pan.
• Is it more humid than normal? Expect that the water in the
defrost pan will take longer to evaporate. This is normal when
it is hot or humid.
Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity buildup, try to
get everything you need out of the beverage center at once,
keep wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are
easy to find, and close the door as soon as the wine is
removed. When the door is opened, humidity from the room
air enters the beverage center. The more often the door is
opened, the faster humidity builds up, especially when the
room itself is very humid.
• Is it humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside the
beverage center when the air is humid.
• Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See "Using the Control."
The door isdifficult to open
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
• Is the gasket dirty or sticky? Clean the gasket and the
surface that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the
gasket following cleaning.
ASSISTANCE OR SERVICE
The door will not close completely
• Are the racks or shelves out of position? Put the racks or
shelves back into their correct positions. See "Beverage
Center Use" for more information.
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
