This document describes the Colzer Built-in Beverage Cooler, models CZB30SS1 and CZB50SS1, an appliance designed for storing and cooling beverages.

Function Description

The Colzer Built-in Beverage Cooler is an electrical appliance intended for indoor, household use to store and cool beverages. It features a built-in design, meaning it can be integrated into cabinetry or other structures. The cooler maintains a controlled internal temperature to keep beverages at an optimal serving temperature. It is not designed for storing perishable food or medical products.

Important Technical Specifications

The cooler operates on an electrical supply of 115/120V AC only, 60Hz, 10A. It is equipped with a grounded 3-prong plug for safety. The temperature range for operation is between 3°C and 18°C (37°F and 64°F). The cooler should be placed in a well-ventilated area with ambient temperatures between 15°C (60°F) and 32°C (90°F). Proper ventilation requires the front of the cooler to be completely unobstructed. The appliance uses a flammable refrigerant, and specific precautions regarding its handling and disposal are outlined in the manual.

Usage Features

The beverage cooler includes several features to enhance its usability and safety:

Controls: The cooler automatically turns on when plugged into a wall outlet, displaying the internal temperature on an LCD screen.

Light Control: A dedicated button allows users to turn the interior light ON or OFF.
Temperature Adjustment: Buttons are provided to increase or decrease the temperature in 1-degree increments within the specified range (3°C to 18°C or 37°F to 64°F).
Zone Adjustment: A button allows users to begin adjusting the temperature for either the upper or lower zone (implying a dual-zone model, though not explicitly stated as such for these models, the control panel suggests this capability).
Power ON/OFF: Pressing a button once turns the cooler ON. Pressing and holding the button for approximately 3 seconds turns the cooler OFF.
Temperature Display Toggle: A button allows users to switch the temperature display between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).

Storage: The cooler is equipped with three wired shelves for storing cans and bottles. The number of bottles that can be stored may vary due to differences in bottle and can sizes. The shelves can be removed by lifting and pulling them out smoothly. To prevent damage to the door gasket, the door should be fully opened when pulling out the bottom shelf. For easy access, shelves can be pulled out approximately 30% from the rail compartment, with stoppers on each side of the shelf track to prevent bottles from falling.

Door Lock: The cooler comes with a lock and key for security. The keys are found in the plastic bag containing the instruction manual. To lock the door, insert the key into the lock and turn it clockwise, ensuring the metal pin is fully engaged. To unlock, perform the reverse action. Users are advised to remove the key and store it in a secure location.

Leveling: The cooler is equipped with leveling legs (indicated as item 4 in the product diagram). It is important for the cooler to be leveled for proper operation, and several adjustments may be needed during installation.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and proper functioning of the beverage cooler:

Cleaning:

Before Cleaning: Always unplug the cooler and remove all items, including shelves, before cleaning or performing any maintenance. Harsh cleansers or scouring pads should never be used.
Interior Cleaning: Wash inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and approximately 2 tablespoons of baking soda per quart of water.
Shelf Cleaning: Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
Exterior Cleaning: Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and a mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid using steel wool or a steel brush on stainless steel surfaces, as this can contaminate the stainless steel with steel particles and lead to rusting.
Electrical Parts: When cleaning areas near controls or electrical parts, wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth to prevent moisture damage.

Power Failure: Most power failures are typically corrected within a few hours and should not significantly affect the cooler's internal temperature. However, for extended power outages, appropriate steps should be taken to protect the contents.

Vacation Time:

Short Vacations (less than three weeks): The cooler can be left operating.
Long Vacations (longer than three weeks): It is recommended to turn off the cooler and leave the door slightly ajar to prevent odors from building up inside.

Moving the Cooler:

Remove all bottles/items from the cooler.
Securely tape down any loose items, such as shelves, inside the cooler.
Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to prevent damage.
Tape the door shut.
Ensure the cooler remains in an upright position during transportation.
Protect the exterior of the cooler with a blanket or similar item.

Energy Saving Tips:

Locate the cooler in the coolest area of the room, away from heat sources or direct sunlight.
Ensure adequate ventilation and never cover air vents.
Only open the cooler door for as long as necessary, as frequent opening affects internal temperature.
