Usage Features
- Installation Flexibility: The cooler supports both free-standing and built-in installations. For built-in use, specific clearance requirements (at least 2/5" at the back, 1/5" at the top, and 1/5" at the sides) must be followed to ensure proper ventilation and service access.
- Temperature Control Panel: The unit is equipped with a digital control panel featuring "Temp. Buttons" (up and down arrows) to adjust the temperature, a "Light Button" to turn the inner light on or off, and a "Power Button" to switch the unit on or off. It has two displays: a "Set Display" for the desired temperature and a "Current Temperature Display" for the actual internal temperature.
- Temperature Scale Switching: Users can switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature displays by pressing and holding both the up and down temperature buttons simultaneously for approximately 5 seconds.
- Door Handle Installation: The manual provides instructions for installing the door handle, which involves removing decorative plugs, inserting screws through the door gasket, aligning the handle, and tightening the screws.
- Adjustable Shelves: The unit includes shelves that can be installed and removed to accommodate various beverage sizes. Instructions detail how to slide shelves onto tracks, push them back over plastic posts, and lift them to remove.
- Reversible Door Swing: The door swing can be reversed from right to left, offering flexibility in placement and accessibility. This process involves removing and reattaching hinges and screws on opposite sides of the door and cabinet.
- Normal Sounds: The manual describes typical operating sounds such as rattling noises from refrigerant flow, pulsating or high-pitched sounds from the compressor, water running from the evaporator, gurgling sounds, and air being forced over the condenser.
- Automatic Defrosting: The unit automatically defrosts under most refrigerating settings and ambient conditions. However, in colder or more humid environments, some frost buildup may occur, requiring manual defrosting by powering off the unit.
Maintenance Features
- Exterior Cleaning: The exterior can be cleaned with a mild detergent and lukewarm water solution (e.g., 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of water). A soft sponge should be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and wiping with a soft towel to prevent water spotting. For stainless steel surfaces, a mild detergent and warm water solution are recommended, avoiding abrasive or caustic cleaning agents.
- Interior Cleaning: The interior should be cleaned occasionally. This involves disconnecting power, opening the door, removing contents and shelves, waiting for defrosting, wiping down the interior with a clean cloth, and then reinserting shelves and reconnecting power.
- Leveling: The beverage cooler must be level to function properly. It can be leveled by rotating the plastic sheaths around the feet on the bottom of the machine. A carpenter's level is recommended for accuracy.
- Storage Preparation: For long-term storage or moving, the unit should be defrosted and dried. This involves disconnecting power, removing the power plug, and leaving the door open to allow air circulation and prevent mold or odors. Safety precautions, such as removing the door if children are present, are advised.
- Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section to help users diagnose and solve common issues such as the unit not turning on, not reaching the desired temperature, making strange noises, becoming electrified, forming frost, or the door not shutting properly. Solutions often involve checking power connections, ventilation, door sealing, leveling, and ambient conditions.
