INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: This beverage center is designed for freestanding
installation only. It should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed cabinet.
To ensure your beverage center works at optimum efficiency, you should
install it in a location where there is proper air circulation, and electrical
connections.
Explosion and Fire Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from
appliance.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.
Recommended Clearances:
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
•Do not install the beverage center where the temperature will go
below 55°F (13°C) because it will not run often enough to maintain
proper temperatures.
•Do not install the beverage center where the temperature will go
above 110°F (43°C) because it will not perform properly.
•Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
•Do not install the beverage center in a location exposed to water
(rain, etc.) or direct sunlight.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
ENGLISH
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground)
prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must
be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding)
plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The beverage center should always be plugged into its own individual
electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply
is required. This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
Never unplug your beverage center by pulling on the power cord. Always
grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Immediately discontinue use of a damaged supply cord. If the supply
cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified service professional
with an authorized service part from the manufacturer.
When moving the beverage center away from the wall, be careful not to
roll over or damage the power cord.
CONNECTING ELECTRICITY
WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove the ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.

IMPORTANT: Handle with care when moving beverage center to avoid
either damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.
IMPORTANT: When moving the beverage center, never tilt it more than a
45° angle. This could damage the compressor and the sealed system. If the
beverage center has been placed in a horizontal position for any period of
time, wait 30 minutes before plugging in the beverage center to allow the
refrigerant to settle.
REMOVE PACKAGING
■Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the
beverage center. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive
with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
NOTE: Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids,
or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage
the surface of your beverage center. For more information, see “Beverage
Center Safety.”
■Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
CLEAN BEFORE USING
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of the
beverage center before using it. See the cleaning instructions in “Beverage
Center Care.”

DEFROSTING
For most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost
whenever the frost becomes 1/8” (3.2 mm) thick.
IMPORTANT:
■ Do not use mechanical devices to defrost.
Under normal operating conditions, the beverage center is designed to self
defrost during periods when the cooling system cycles off.
Under conditions of extreme heat and humidity, and/or prolonged or
frequent door openings, you may notice frost build up on the cold plate on
the interior rear wall. This frost can be removed through a manual defrost.
To manually defrost:
1. Turn the temperature control dial to OFF.
2. After the frost has been cleared, move the temperature control dial back
to its original position.
Explosion and Fire Hazard
Flammable refrigerant used.
Do not puncture refrigerant tubing.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.
DANGER
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
