Electrical Requirement
•Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with
proper grounding to power the appliance.
•Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order to
accommodate a two-plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no
effective grounding for the appliance and may result in shock hazard.
Install Limitations
•Do not install your appliance in any location not properly insulated or heated
e.g., garage etc. Your appliance was not designed to operate in temperature
settings below 50° Fahrenheit.
•Select a suitable location for the appliance on a hard even surface away from
direct sunlight or heat source e.g., radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking
appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs
located on the front and rear bottom corners of the appliance.
•This appliance is designed for free standing installation or can be recessed into
cabinetry.
Use of Extension Cords
•Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will
accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
Appliance Features and Use
Initial Setup
•Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for
approximately 24 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the
cooling system from handling during transportation.

6
•Once you have plugged the unit into an electrical outlet, let the unit run for at
least 30 minutes to acclimate before making any adjustments.
Temperature Adjustment
•When the appliance is plugged in for the first time, the LED display will show the
factory preset temperature.
•The appliance can be set to accommodate your storage requirements. To set the
temperature, press the up or down arrow button to increase or decrease the
temperature setting until the desired temperature is attained. It may take some
time to reach the set temperature.
•The temperature will fluctuate more so when the appliance is empty.
Shelving
(Type and number of shelves will vary per model)
Your cabinet was designed to store a maximum number of bottles and cans
securely. We recommend that you observe the tips below to optimize loading:
•Remove tape from shelves once unit is stable and ready for storage.
•Disperse the bottles and cans evenly to avoid concentrating weight in one place.
They must not touch either the back of the cabinet or the step at the bottom.
•Make sure that the bottles and cans are not all grouped together either at the
top or bottom of the cabinet.
•Maximum weight capacity per shelf is 55 lbs.

Replacement of Charcoal Filter
Your cooler comes with a charcoal filter that helps to eliminate orders. It
should be replaced every 6 to 12 months for optimal protection. To replace the
filter:
1. Find the location of the charcoal filter on the back wall (air-duct plate).
2. Remove the shelf in front of the filter if necessary.
3. Remove the charcoal filter box from the two mounting holes on the air-
duct plate by hand pulling directly outward, remove the old charcoal
filter, and place the new one into the mounting box.
4. Snap the charcoal filter box into the mounting hole on the air-duct plate
