•
This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a) which is
environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase the
greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance that no
parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the eyes. In
the event of any damage:
-
Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,
-
Disconnect from the electrical power line,
-

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using your Appliance
•
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•
Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2
hours. This reduces the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
•
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
•
Install the handle on the door. (See page 8.)
Installation of your Appliance
The appliance is designed for free-standing installation, indoor and outdoor use.
CAUTION: This appliance is designed for storing and cooling beverages and drinks. Do not
store perishable food, medicine or other medical products.
•
Place your Beverage Cooler on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
To level the unit, adjust the front leveling legs.
•
For free-standing installation, leave 5 inches (127mm) of space around the back and
sides of the unit to allow proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator or other
heating source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may
increase electrical consumption. Don’t install in a location where the temperature will
fall below 60°F (16°C). For best performance, do not install the appliance behind a
cabinet door or block the base grille.
•
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
•
Plug the Beverage Cooler into an exclusive, properly grounded wall 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 certified electrician
or an authorized service center.
Electrical Connection
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong plug that mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize
the possibility of electrical shock.
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 an authorized service center.
Page 9

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord
supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~ 60Hz three-prong grounded electrical
outlet. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left
exposed or dangling.
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 prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire
hazard from overheating. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on 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 under certain conditions, 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.
Installing the Door Handle
This beverage cooler includes a stainless steel handle that is not required to operate the unit. To
install the handle, follow the instructions below:
1. Remove the door gasket on the side you wish to install
the door handle. You will see two designated holes for
handle installation. The gasket is easily displaced by
hand. No tools are necessary.
2. Install the fridge handle tightly, as shown, with two screws
and flat washers provided. DO NOT overtighten, as this
will cause damage to the handle and stainless steel door
frame.
3. Replace the door gasket to its original position.

OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE
It is recommended you install the appliance in a place where the ambient temperature is between
72º and 78ºF (23º-26ºC). If the ambient temperature is above or below the recommended
temperatures, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in
extremely cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate. The range of 34-46ºF
(1-8ºC) may not be reached.
Control Panel
Mechanical Control
• There is a TEMP-ADJ knob inside the beverage cooler. The temperature in the cabinet can be
adjusted within the range 34-46°F (1-8°C).
• To lower the temperature in the cabinet, turn the TEMP-ADJ knob from left to right (clockwise)
by the indicating black dot on the knob. The coldest setting is 7, and the warmest setting is 1.
• When using the appliance for the first time, turn the knob to Coldest or 7 to cool down the
cabinet quickly.
• The LED light inside is automatically controlled. When you open the door, the light will
turn on immediately and when you close the door, the light will turn off automatically.
NOTE: If the unit is unplugged, or power is lost or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes
before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will
not start.
• When you use the unit for the first time or restart the unit after it has been shut off for a long
time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one
indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and is due to the length of the activation time.
There should not be a problem once the unit has been running for a few hours.
Door Lock
Your unit is provided with a lock and key combination.
The keys are located inside the plastic bag that contains the User Manual. Insert the key into the
lock and turn it counterclockwise to unlock the door. To lock the door, do the reverse operation,
making sure the metal pin is engaged completely. Remove the key and put it in a secure place for
safekeeping.
Page 12

Defrosting
This appliance requires no manual defrosting. During the operation of the compressor, ice will
build up on the evaporator plate which is at the back of inner cabinet. During the compressor’s offcycle, the ice will melt, drip down, and collect in a tray above the compressor, where the
compressor’s heat evaporates the water. If you notice excessive ice build-up on the evaporator, try
setting the temperature slightly higher. Also, be sure that the door gasket is sealing well.
Shelves
The unit has two removable, chrome-plated wire shelves. To take out a shelf, first remove its
contents, then raise the back of the shelf slightly and pull the shelf out.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your Appliance
1. Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items, including shelves.
2. Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda (about 2
tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water).
3. Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
4. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area where the controls are
located, or any electrical parts.
5. Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe
dry with a clean soft cloth.
6. Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of
your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off
for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect the contents.
Vacations
• Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn
