TYPES OF INSTALLATION: This beverage refrigerator has been designed for free‐standing or built‐in installation. In every case, there must be adequate ventilation and access for service. Free‐standing Installation A free‐standing installation will allow you to install the beverage refrigerator in almost any place you desire. You must follow the stated instructions for electrical requirements and leveling the beverage refrigerator. Built‐in Installation A recessed installation will allow you to install the beverage refrigerator under a counter or in a kitchen cabinet provided the clearance space requirements around the beverage refrigerator are followed. It is necessary to allow adequate ventilation space around the unit (make sure there is at least some ventilation room for the back of the unit). The following additional items must be observed: 1. Place the beverage refrigerator in front of the installation location. 2. Adjust the feet and place the unit flat on the floor or on a platform depending on your installation requirements. 3. If the electrical outlet for the beverage refrigerator is behind the cabinet, plug in the beverage refrigerator. 4. Push the beverage refrigerator into position. 5. Warning: DO NOT install the beverage refrigerator behind a closed cabinet door. Installation Clearance Requirements: When installing the beverage refrigerator under a counter, follow the recommended spacing dimensions shown. • To ensure proper service access and ventilation, allow between 2 ‐ 3 inches of clearance at the back as shown in the diagram. • The installation should allow the unit to be pulled forward for servicing, if necessary. • A standard electrical supply (115 VAC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance with National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required. ...
LEVELING: The beverage refrigerator should be installed on a firm and level surface that will be able to support the entire weight of a fully loaded unit. It is important for the beverage refrigerator to be leveled in order to work properly. It can be raised or lowered by rotating the plastic sheaths around each of the feet on the bottom of the machine. If you find that the surface is not level, rotate the feet until the beverage refrigerator becomes level. You may need to make several adjustments to level it. We recommend using a carpenter’s level to check the machine. Turn the leveling feet to the right to lower that side of the refrigerator. Turn the leveling feet to the left to raise that side of the refrigerator. RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD: For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3‐prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3‐ pronged wall socket, and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall socket is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3‐prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician. Electrical Shock Hazard! Plug into a grounded 3‐prong outlet. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Never use an adapter to bypass the grounding prong. DO NOT use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electrical shock, or personal injury. Before you move your beverage refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection. A standard electrical supply (115 V, 60Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required. It is recommended that a ...

Note: Pressing and holding the increase and decrease temperature buttons at the same time will switch the temperature display from °F to °C. Tip: If you powered the unit off, please wait at least five (5) minutes before powering it back on. Warning: Allow at least 24 hours for your beverage refrigerator to run before storing your beverages and to allow the temperature to acclimate. Whether your beverage refrigerator can reach the actual set temperature depends on the ambient environmental conditions. Internal Light This refrigerator is equipped with top and side internal lights that can be set to a blue or white color. Because the unit comes with a glass door, the inside will be seen whether the door is open or closed. You can choose to display each color of light in two different modes: Constant Mode and Automatic Mode. Constant Mode The internal lights will stay constantly illuminated whether the door is open or closed. Automatic Mode The internal lights will illuminate each time the door is opened and fade off once the door is closed. This feature is triggered by a sensor located on the front vent. This sensor allows the refrigerator to recognize when the door is open or closed. With each press of the light button, the unit will progress through the cycle of light settings seen below. ...
Defrosting Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will automatically defrost under most ambient conditions. However, on colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, the more humid the ambient conditions, the more frost may build up. Keep the door closed as much as possible and avoid opening the door unnecessarily to minimize frost build‐up. If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need to power the unit off until the frost melts. Use a soft absorbent towel to dry the unit. Warning: Never attempt to remove frost with a sharp object. Normal Sounds Your new beverage refrigerator may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor or walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them. • Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. • Items stored on top of the beverage refrigerator can also make noises. • The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high‐pitched sound. • The internal fan will run frequently to create a consistent internal temperature environment. • Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound. • As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your beverage refrigerator. • You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan. Cleaning and Maintenance Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life. ...
Preparing Your Beverage Refrigerator for Storage If the beverage refrigerator will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it will be necessary to defrost the unit and dry the interior. 1. Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply by removing the power plug from the wall socket. 2. Leave the door open to allow for air circulation and to prevent mold, mildew, and unpleasant smells. 3. Once the interior is dry and clean the unit will be ready for storage. Caution: Store the unit out of the reach of children. If you have children, you may want to take additional precautions such as removing the door to prevent a child from being trapped inside the refrigerator. Important: Do NOT touch the power plug when your hands are wet. NEVER unplug the unit by pulling the plug.
