Department at (856) 428- 4200. The Bottle Cooler is to be
used only for the storage of “non-potentially hazardous

Receiving Shipment

All units are performance tested and thoroughly inspected
prior to shipment. Upon receipt, examine the exterior of
the shipment packaging for any signs of rough handling. If
the cabinet is damaged, it should be noted on the delivery
slip or bill of lading and signed. A claim must be filed
immediately against the carrier indicating the extent and
estimated cost of damage incurred.

Locating Your New Cooler

Consider the following when selecting a cooler location:

1. Clearance - Coolers are to have a minimum clearance
space of 2”(inches) from walls and/or low ceilings.

2. Leveling - Coolers must be leveled when installed.
Although the cooler is plumbing free, failure to level
your cooler may result in condensate water not draining
appropriately.

3. Floor Load - The floor on which the cooler will rest
must be free of vibration and suitably strong enough to
support the combined weights of the cabinet plus the
maximum product load.

4. Ventilation - The air cooled, self-contained refrigeration
system requires a sufficient amount of cool, clean air.
Avoid placing the cooler near heat generating
equipment such as ovens, ranges, heaters, fryers,
steam kettles, etc., and out of direct sunlight. Avoid
locating the self-contained cooler in an unheated room,
or where the room temperature may be below 65°F.

Electric Supply

The electrical supply should always be performed by a
qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical

codes. A properly wired cooler will assure
proper operation. Electrical supply
requirements are on the cabinet
serial/data plate located on the upper left
wall inside the cabinet. It is recommended
that a direct, properly protected line of
the proper size wire be installed from the
main supply to your cooler. All coolers
electrical systems are internally grounded.

Cleaning

Prior to setting up and operating your
new cooler, it is advisable that the
interior be washed thoroughly with a
mild, non-abrasive detergent and a
chlorine free water solution. Rinse with
clear water and a sanitizing solution.
Dry with a soft absorbent towel.

Coolers with the vinyl-coated and stainless steel exterior
require only mild soap and water to maintain the finish.

Caution: Before cleaning, servicing or removing
dividers, unplug the cooler to disconnect power!

Use non-abrasive cleaners that do
not contain chlorine and a soft cloth
or sponge. Do not use steel wool,
scrapers, wire brushes or other harsh
items to clean your cooler. Following
are some examples.

● Baking Soda - Used for die-hard type stains. Mix in

one tablespoon of baking soda per one pint of water for
recommended solution.

● Club Soda - Used to remove streaks.

Daily Exterior Cleaning

1. Clean surface with a sponge and cleaning solution.
