TOOLS NEEDED:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.
PARTS NEEDED:
Custom Overlay Frame—See “Overlay Frame—Rear View.”
Hardware (Optional)
PARTS SUPPLIED:
Custom Overlay Frame
If you plan to install a custom overlay frame, you will need to
create the frame yourself or consult a qualified cabinetmaker or
carpenter. See dimension drawings for frame specifications.
IMPORTANT:
■The thickness of the overlay frame must be ³⁄₄" (1.91 cm).
■Overlay frame must not weigh more than 10 lbs (4.54 kg).

Location Requirements
To ensure proper ventilation for your beverage center, allow for a
¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) space on each side and at the top. When installing
your beverage center next to a fixed wall, leave 2¹⁄₂" (6.35 cm)
minimum clearance on the hinge side to allow for the door to
swing open.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the beverage
center near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install
in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C). For
best performance, do not install the beverage center behind a
cabinet door or block the base grille.
Electrical Requirements
Before you move your beverage center into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended grounding method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15– or 20–amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your beverage center be provided. Use an
outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an
extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, unplug beverage center or disconnect
power.
Unpack the Beverage Center
Remove the 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.
■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.”

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 Control
For your convenience, your beverage center control is preset at
the factory. When you first install your beverage center, make sure
that the control is still preset to the mid-setting as shown.
Adjusting Controls
The mid-setting indicated in the previous section should be
correct for normal usage. The control is set correctly when
beverages are as cold as you like.
If you need to adjust the temperature, wait at least 24 hours
between adjustments and then recheck the temperature.
To make the beverage center colder, adjust the control to the next
higher setting. To make the beverage center less cold, adjust the
control to the next lower setting.
Temperature Separator (Temperature Display)
The temperature separator displays the current temperatures
(Fahrenheit or Celsius) for the upper, middle and lower zones
(compartments) of the beverage center. To adjust the temperature
settings, see “Adjusting Controls” earlier in this section.

BEVERAGE CENTER CARE
Cleaning
Clean the beverage center about once a month to avoid buildup
of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
To clean your beverage center:
1. Unplug beverage center or disconnect power.
2. Remove all racks and shelves from inside the beverage center.
3. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water.
■To avoid damaging wood trim pieces, do not immerse the
entire rack into water when cleaning.
■Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior
and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels,
scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can
scratch or damage materials.
■To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt
[26 g to 0.95 L] of water).
4. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do
not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing
chlorine. These can scratch or damage materials. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth.
NOTE: To keep your stainless steel beverage center looking
like new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested
that you use the manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel
Cleaner and Polish. To order the cleaner, see “Accessories.”
IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!
Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come
into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces,
dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact
does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild
detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
5. Replace the racks and shelves.
6. Clean the condenser coils regularly. They are located behind
the base grille. Coils may need to be cleaned as often as every
other month. This may help save energy.
■Remove the base grille. See “Base Grille.”
■Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to
clean the condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
■Replace the base grille.
7. Plug in beverage center or reconnect power.
Changing the Light Bulb
NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your beverage center. Be
sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape, and
wattage.
To change the light bulb:

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 turned to the OFF
position? See “Using the Control.”
The lights do not work
■Is a light bulb loose in the socket? Unplug beverage center
or disconnect power. Gently remove the bulb and reinsert.
Plug in beverage center or reconnect power.
■Has a light bulb burned out? Replace with an appliance bulb
of the same wattage, size, and shape. See “Changing the
Light Bulb.”
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 Control.”
■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 Control.”
■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 Control.”
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.
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
WARNING
Explosion Hazard

USO DEL REFRIGERADOR
PARA BEBIDAS
Sonidos normales
Su nuevo refrigerador para bebidas puede hacer ruidos que su
viejo refrigerador para bebidas no hacía. Como estos sonidos son
nuevos para Ud., puede ser que se preocupe. La mayoría de los
sonidos nuevos son normales. Las superficies duras tales como
el piso y las estructuras circundantes pueden hacer que los
sonidos parezcan más fuertes. A continuación se describen los
tipos de sonidos y qué puede causarlos.
■Su refrigerador para bebidas está diseñado para funcionar
con más eficiencia para conservar sus alimentos a la
temperatura deseada y para reducir al mínimo el uso de
energía. El compresor y los ventiladores de alta eficiencia
pueden causar que su nuevo refrigerador para bebidas
funcione por períodos de tiempo más largos que su
refrigerador para bebidas viejo. También puede escuchar un
sonido pulsante o agudo del compresor o los ventiladores que
se ajustan para un funcionamiento óptimo.
■Las vibraciones pueden producirse por el flujo de líquido
refrigerante o artículos guardados dentro del refrigerador para
bebidas.
■Al final de cada ciclo, Ud. puede escuchar un gorgoteo
debido al flujo de líquido refrigerante en su refrigerador para
bebidas.
■Ud. puede escuchar agua corriendo hacia la bandeja
recolectora cuando el refrigerador para bebidas se está
descongelando.
■Es posible que escuche sonidos de chasquido cuando el
refrigerador para bebidas comienza o deja de funcionar.
