HOW TO OPERATE

Before first use, remove all adhesive tape from the drawers, shelves, trays and drain tube
plug.
INSTALLATION
1. The BEVERAGE COOLER should be placed on a completely flat surface. Allow 1 foot of space
on each side of the cooler and between the cooler and the wall. Also allow at least 8 inches
of space between the top of the cooler and the ceiling.
2. Choose a location for your cooler that is not exposed to sunlight, high temperature or
humidity, as humidity may stain and damage the cooler.
3. The appliance can be adjusted by rolling the two adjustable legs in the bottom front of the
refrigerator if it becomes unstable. Raise the cooler by rolling the two legs clockwise.
The surface of the location where the cooler is installed should be firm and flat. If cooler is
not secured in a proper location, noise and vibration may occur. The noise may be increased
if the floor is not firm. If you have to position the cooler on a carpeted floor, place a sheet
underneath the cooler, such as plywood or a plastic mat, to prevent heat emissions from
ruining the carpet.
4. Make sure that legs are pressed firmly into the floor and allow the cooler to lean backward
slightly so that the doors remain closed.
PLACEMENT OF FOOD
1. There should always be some space between items inside for air circulation.
2. Food should be kept in sealed containers to avoid becoming dry, spoiled or creating odors
in the refrigerator.
3. Hot food should be cooled down before placing into the appliance. Otherwise, bacteria will
grow in food.
4. Reducing the frequency of opening the doors can lower the electronic consumption.
NOTE: Do not use any electronic equipment inside the appliance.
ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE
The temperature of the cooler can be controlled manually by the dial. However, the number
shown on the knob does not correlate to the degrees. The higher the number, the lower the
interior temperature of the cooler will be.
0 = OFF
2-4 = Normal Use
DEFROSTING
Heavy frost will effect the efficiency and performance of the cooler and can create increased
energy consumption. If the frost inside of the cooler gets as thick as ¼ inch, you must
defrost the cooler. Follow these steps to defrost the cooler:
1. Remove all food from the cooler.
2. Uninstall the drawers and shelves.
3. Unplug the power supply cord.
4. Open the doors and wait for the appliance to thaw completely.
5. Clean up the water with dry towels.
NOTE: DO NOT use any other equipment or method to force the defrost process. It may ruin
1 = Higher (warmer) Temperature
5 = Lower (colder) Temperature
