Door Closing
Door Closing
Your beverage center has four leveling legs. If your beverage
center seems unsteady or you want the door to close more easily,
adjust the beverage center’s tilt using the instructions below.
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Move the beverage center into its final location.
3. Turn the leveling legs to the right to lower the beverage center
or turn the leveling legs to the left to raise it. It may take
several turns of the leveling legs to adjust the tilt of the
beverage center.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the beverage
center takes some weight off the leveling legs. This makes it
easier to adjust the leveling legs.
4. Make sure that the door closes as easily as you like. If not, tilt
the beverage center slightly more to the rear by turning both
front leveling screws to the left. It may take several more
turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same
amount.
BEVERAGE CENTER USE
Normal Sounds
Your new beverage center may make sounds that your old one
didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, such as the flooring and surrounding structures, can
make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds
of sounds and what may be making them.
■Your beverage center is designed to run more efficiently to
keep your food items at the desired temperatures and to
minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and
fans may cause your beverage center to run longer than your
old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound
from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize
performance.
■Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items
stored inside the beverage center.
■As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your beverage center.
■You may hear water running into the drain pan when the
beverage center is defrosting.
■You may hear clicking sounds when the beverage center
starts or stops running.
Using the Controls
The control panel for the beverage center is located on the
middle separator (mullion) of the beverage center. The control of
the beverage center has no mechanical parts or buttons. When
disconnected, the control panel displays nothing and may be
difficult to locate.
Turning Control On/Off
■The first time that the beverage center is plugged in, the
control will be in Cool Off mode. Cool On and Cool Off will be
the only options that display.
■Press COOL ON for 3 seconds to turn on the beverage
center. All menus and recommended temperature settings
will be displayed.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.

1. Remove all wine bottles from the beverage center.
2. Unplug the beverage center.
3. Clean the beverage center. See “Cleaning.”
4. Tape a rubber or wood block to the top of the door to prop it
open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold
from building up.
Moving
When you are moving your beverage center to a new home,
follow these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. Remove all wine bottles from the beverage center.
2. Unplug the beverage center.
3. Clean, wipe, and dry it thoroughly.
4. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.
5. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the beverage
center.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to
the “Installation Instructions” section for preparation instructions.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Your beverage center will not operate
■Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
■Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.
■Is the Beverage Center Control in Control Off mode? See
“Using the Controls.”
The motor seems to run too much
■Is the temperature outside hotter than normal? Expect the
motor to run longer under warm conditions. At normal
temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of
the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even
more of the time.
■Is the door opened often? Expect the motor to run longer
when this occurs. In order to conserve energy, try to get
everything you need out of the beverage center at once, keep
wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy to
find, and close the door as soon as the wine is removed.
■Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See “Using the Controls.”
■Is the door closed completely? Push the door firmly shut. If
it will not shut all the way, see “The door will not close
completely” later in this section.
■Are the condenser coils dirty? This obstructs air transfer
and makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils.
See “Cleaning.”
Temperature is too warm
■Is the door opened often? Be aware that the beverage
center will warm when this occurs. In order to keep the
beverage center cool, try to get everything you need out of
the beverage center at once, keep wine bottles positioned
label side up so that they are easy to find, and close the door
as soon as the wine is removed.
■Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See “Using the Controls.”
■Is the base grille blocked? For best performance, do not
install the beverage center behind a cabinet door or block the
base grille.
There is interior moisture buildup
■Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity buildup, try to
get everything you need out of the beverage center at once,
keep wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are
easy to find, and close the door as soon as the wine is
removed. When the door is opened, humidity from the room
air enters the beverage center. The more often the door is
opened, the faster humidity builds up, especially when the
room itself is very humid.
■Is it humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside the
beverage center when the air is humid.
■Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See “Using the Controls.”
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove 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.
WARNING

13
The door is difficult to open
■Is the gasket dirty or sticky? Clean the gasket and the
surface that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the
gasket following cleaning.
The door will not close completely
■Are the racks or shelves out of position? Put the racks or
shelves back into their correct positions. See “Beverage
Center Use” for more information.
■Is the gasket sticking? Clean the gasket and the surface
that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gasket
following cleaning.

de detergente líquido para vajillas sobre el adhesivo con los
dedos. Limpie con agua tibia y seque.
■No use instrumentos filosos, alcohol para fricciones, líquidos
inflamables o productos de limpieza abrasivos para eliminar
los restos de cinta o goma. Estos productos pueden dañar
la superficie de su refrigerador para bebidas. Para más
información, vea “Seguridad del refrigerador para bebidas”.
■Deshágase de todos los materiales de embalaje o recíclelos.

el refrigerador para bebidas.
No seguir esta instrucción puede ocasionar una
lesión en la espalda u otro tipo de lesiones.
Cuando mueva su refrigerador para bebidas:
Su refrigerador para bebidas es muy pesado. Cuando
mueva el electrodoméstico para limpiarlo y darle servicio,
cerciórese de cubrir el piso con cartón o madera para evitar
daños en el mismo. Al mover el electrodoméstico, siempre
tire directamente hacia afuera. No menee el
electrodoméstico de lado a lado ni lo haga “caminar”
cuando lo trate de mover ya que podría dañar el piso.
Información importante para saber acerca de los estantes
y tapas de vidrio:
No limpie los estantes y tapas de vidrio con agua caliente
mientras están fríos. Los estantes y tapas pueden romperse
si se exponen a cambios bruscos de temperatura o impacto,
como sería un golpe brusco. El vidrio templado se ha
diseñado para hacerse añicos. Esto es normal. Los estantes
y tapas de vidrio son muy pesados. Use ambas manos al
sacarlos para evitar que se caigan.
