Thank you for purchasing a Victory Refrigeration Deep
Well Horizontal Bottle Cooler! This unit has passed our

standards set by Victory Refrigeration. You have made a
quality investment that with proper maintenance will give
you years of service.
Please read the following installation and maintenance
instructions before installing or using your unit. If you have
any questions, please call our Customer Service
Department at (856) 428- 4200. The Bottle Cooler is to be
used only for the storage of “non-potentially hazardous
bottled and canned beverages” !
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.
2. Polish with a soft cloth for stainless steel, wiping
with the grain of the metal.
3. Once a week wipe with a film cutting agent to
maintain shine and stainless steel finish.
Weekly Interior Cleaning
1. Discontinue power to refrigeration system by
removing plug from receptacle.
2. Remove beverages.
3. Remove all dividers.
4. Remove loose substances from interior.
5. Scrub all interior surfaces with warm detergent
solution 100°F-120°F (38°C - 39°C) and a nylon
bristled brush.
6. Rinse with clear water and dry with soft absorbent
towel.
7. Reinstall dividers.
8. Restore power to refrigeration system by placing
plug into receptacle.
