Warning: Never attempt to remove frost with a sharp object!
Normal Sounds
Your new beverage cooler may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new
sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can make the sounds seem louder
than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you
and what may be making them.
•
Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on
top of the beverage cooler can also make noises.
•
The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high pitched sound.
•
Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound.
•
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your
beverage cooler.
•
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
Defrosting
This beverage cooler does NOT have an automatic defrost feature. Therefore, in a colder
environment and settings, frost may build up frequently. Additionally, the more humid the
ambient conditions, the more frost may build up. Keep the door closed as much as possible
and avoid opening the door unnecessarily to minimize frost build up.
If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need to power the unit off until the
frost melts. Use a soft absorbent towel to dry the unit.
Preparing the Beverage Cooler for Storage
If the beverage cooler will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it will
be necessary to defrost the unit and dry the interior.
1. Disconnect the cooler from the power supply by removing the power plug from the wall
socket.
2. Leave the door open to allow for air circulation and to prevent mold, mildew, and
unpleasant smells.
Caution: Store the unit out of the reach of children. If you have children, you may want to take
additional precautions such as removing the door to prevent a child from being trapped inside
the cooler!
Important:
•
Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.
•
Never unplug the unit by pulling on the cord
