Operating Your Appliance
This refrigerator is equipped with side internal lights that can be set to Cloud White, Deep
Blue or Amber. 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: Display mode and
Automatic Mode.
Display Mode
The internal lights will stay constantly illuminated whether the door is open or closed.
Display Mode is a custom/user-defined function, not a regular day-to-day function.
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.
*The default mode is Automatic Mode. To change between modes, press and hold the
Interior Lights button for 3 seconds.
After 3 minutes of the door being open an alarm will sound and the display will flash with
00.
Sabbath mode disables system responses to user-initiated activities and all external
functions, including lighting, display and audible alarms. The unit will still maintain
internal temperatures and set points.
To enable or disable Sabbath mode, Press the Power Button and simultaneously press
the Increase Temperature Button twice. The interior light and control display will go dark
until the user disables Sabbath mode.
Note: Although the display will not be visible, the temperature settings will remain active
and preserve the internal temperature. Sabbath mode will remain active until it is
disabled by the user.
In this mode, the compressor and fans never turn on but all other functions remain
enabled.
When in Demonstration Mode, the “R” indicator light will slowly blink indicating it is in

Operating Your Appliance
The beverage cooler is designed with an automatic defrost system. 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.
If the interior temperature is higher than 73ºF (23ºC), “HI” is shown on the temperature
control panel and the temperature alarm will sound continuously after one hour. This
indicates that the inner temperature is too high. If the inner temperature is lower than 25ºF
(-4ºC), “LO” is shown on the temperature display panel and the temperature alarm will
sound continuously after one hour. If one of these situations occurs, please reference the
troubleshooting section found in this manual for support.

Care and Maintenance
Normal Sounds
Your new beverage cooler 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 cooler can also make noises.
The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
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 cooler.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
