Child Safety
Proper Disposal of your Beverage Cooler
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous – even if they will sit for "just a few days". If you are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents. We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/ disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit www.recyclemyoldfridge.com for more information on recycling your old appliance. Before you throw away your old beverage cooler:
This Use & Care Guide provides general operating instructions for your model. Use the appliance only as instructed in this Use & Care Guide.
Before starting the appliance, follow these important first steps.
Location
NOTE
The exterior walls of the beverage cooler may become quite warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30°F warmer than room temperature can be expected. For this reason it is particularly important in hotter climates to allow enough space for air circulation around your appliance.
Leveling
The beverage cooler must have all bottom corners resting firmly on solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded beverage cooler.
NOTE: It is Very Important for your appliance to be level in order to function properly. If the appliance is not leveled during installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
To Level Your Beverage Cooler:
After removing all interior and exterior packaging materials, use a carpenter's level to level the beverage cooler from front-to-back. Adjust the leveling legs in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open.
Cleaning
Important Safeguards: Do not store food in your wine cooler as interior temperature may not get cool enough to prevent spoilage. In summer months or areas of high humidity, the glass door may build up moisture. To remove the moisture, wipe it away.
Handle Installation
Reversing the door swing
The glass door can be opened from left to right and vice versa. Should you desire to change the opening direction, please follow these instructions.
NOTE
All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation of the door.
