INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours.
This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Install the handle on the door. (See page 7.)
INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE
The appliance is designed for either built-in or free-standing installation and for indoor use only.
CAUTION
:
This appliance is designed for storing and cooling beverages and drinks. Do not store
perishable food, medicine or other medical products.
Place your Beverage Merchandiser on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
To level the unit, adjust the front leveling legs.
For freestanding installation, 5 inches (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the unit are
suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser for energy
saving. Even for built-in installation, it is a must to k
eep ¼” (6.35mm) space on each side and at the
top
and 2” (51mm) at the rear to ensure proper service access and ventilation. And the air vent at the
front of the appliance must never be covered or blocked in any way.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator or other heating
source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Don’t install in a location where the temperature will fall below 60°F (16°C). For best
performance, do not install the appliance behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
Plug the Beverage Merchandiser into an exclusive, properly grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning
power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service
center.
