First Time Operating Instructions Before use, make sure all packaging labels and materials are removed from the unit. Be sure to keep track of all included parts and pieces before discarding the packaging materials. It is advised that you keep the original box and packaging materials in case you ever need to move or ship the appliance in the future.

Parts Identification Front View Back View Internal Fan This is an air-cooled unit equipped with an internal fan that maintains a consistent internal temperature. Tip: Gather the model and serial number from the product label and write them down before installing the Beverage Cooler.
Installing the Beverage Cooler The beverage cooler should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements. The beverage cooler should also be placed in a location that is strong enough to support its total weight, keeping in mind that it will weigh substantially more when fully loaded than when empty. Before you plug the beverage cooler into a power supply, be sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s oils to settle.
Installation Clearance Requirements Important Notes: Choose a location that has ambient temperatures above 50° F and below 95° F. Operation outside these temperatures may result in lowered efficiency or cause other adverse effects. This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, e.g. wind, rain, water spray or drips. The beverage cooler should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other high heat sources.
The beverage cooler should be installed on a firm and level surface that will be able to support the entire weight of a fully loaded unit. It is important for the beverage cooler to be level in order to work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the beverage cooler by rotating the feet. See the “Leveling the Beverage Cooler” section.
