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.
Unpacking the Beverage Cooler
WARNING
: Use two more people to move and install the beverage
cooler. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. Carefully remove
the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and glue from your
beverage cooler before using. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing
alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue.
These products can damage the surface of your beverage cooler.
IMPORTANT
: Do not remove any safety, warning, or product information
labels from your beverage cooler.
