The upper zone's temperature can be adjusted between 36°F and 50°F, while the lower zone ranges from 50°F to 66°F. Adjustments are made in 1-degree increments using dedicated UP and DOWN buttons on the display panel for each zone.

- Raising and lowering the desired temperature for each zone.
- Turning the internal light on and off.
- Selecting Celsius or Fahrenheit temperature scale.
- Adjustable Split Shelf: The top zone includes an adjustable split shelf, allowing users to configure the storage space to accommodate either full-sized or half-sized cans or bottles, providing flexibility for various beverage types and sizes.
- Door Reversibility: The door hinge is reversible, allowing the door to open from either the left or right side to suit different installation needs and preferences. This requires assistance from another person during the reversal process.
- Handle Assembly: The handle needs to be attached to the front of the unit using a Phillips screwdriver.
- Child Safety: The manual emphasizes the importance of child safety, advising against allowing children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the unit. For extended periods of non-use or disposal, the door should be removed, and shelves left in place to prevent entrapment.
- Wine Storage Guide: The manual provides recommendations for optimal wine storage, including an ideal temperature of 55°F with 60-75% RH, storing corked bottles on their sides, avoiding direct sunlight and heavy vibrations, and separating wine from strong odors.
Maintenance Features:
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of the fridge.
- Cleaning the Interior: The interior should be cleaned with a solution of warm water and baking soda (2 tablespoons per quart of water). The water reservoir at the bottom of the unit should also be unscrewed and rinsed.
- Cleaning the Exterior: The exterior can be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water.
- Condenser Cleaning: It is recommended to clean the condenser every six months to prevent malfunction and maintain warranty validity. The kick-plate on the front bottom must be kept free of obstruction to ensure proper airflow.
- Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section to help users diagnose and resolve common issues such as the unit not working, insufficient cooling, light malfunction, vibrations, excessive noise, and door closure problems.
- Door Seal Replacement: If the door seal is weak or not sealing properly, replacements can be acquired from the manufacturer.
- Power Cord and Refrigerant Circuit: Users are warned against altering or cutting the power cord, removing the grounding prong, or damaging the refrigerant circuit, as these actions can cause serious injury, fire, and void the warranty.
- No Extension Cords: The use of extension cords is explicitly prohibited for connecting the unit.
- Environmental Considerations: The fridge should not be operated in excessively moist or humid environments and should be kept away from hazardous or combustible/flammable substances.
- Genuine Parts: Only genuine supplier's replacement parts should be used to avoid damaging the unit or voiding the warranty.
- Pre-Operation Standby: Before connecting the appliance to a power source, it should stand upright for approximately 24 hours to allow the cooling system to stabilize after transportation.
- Moving the Fridge: When moving the cooler, all stored items should be removed, loose parts secured, leveling feet turned up, the door taped shut, and the unit kept in an upright position.
