Cooler units have an external power-isolating switch to facilitate servicing.
The switch is located under the front left hand side of the cooler. To access the switch, reach under the front of the
Cooler's trough and locate the switch. By observing the LED light on the control box you can ascertain whether the
power is on or off. Always test for electrical voltage before commencing any work on the cooler.
