Operation and Controls
TEMPERATURE MEMORY FUNCTION
In the event of a power interruption (power surge, breaker switch, etc.), the unit can remember the previous tem-
perature settings. When the power has restored, the temperature display will show the current cabinet tempera-
ture.
CONTROL PANEL LOCK
To avoid accidental control changes, the control panel is locked by default. To unlock, press the UP and DOWN
buttons at the same time. After choosing your preferred setting, the control panel can be locked by pressing the
UP and DOWN button again.
NOTE:
The control panel locks automatically in 60 seconds if not changed. This function applies to both
temperature control and interior light control.
CABINET SHELVES
NOTE:
Do not cover any part of the shelves with aluminum foil or any other material that will prevent adequate air
circulation within the cabinet.
This appliance is equipped with
3
removable shelves. To prevent damage to the door gasket, make sure the door
is opened completely before pulling the shelves out.
•
For easy access of the beverage cans, you must pull the shelves approximately ⅓ out of the railing.
•
When removing the shelves out of the railing, make sure to remove all items first.
•
To remove the shelves, pull the shelf forward until the notch aligns with the plastic post. Lift the shelf and
continue to pull the shelf forward until it is completely removed from the internal compartment.
•
Make sure to remove all shelves
when
loading a 1/6 barrel or 1 Cornelius keg.
NORMAL SOUNDS
The unit is cooled by a compressor. The compressor pumps coolant through the cooling system, producing operat-
ing noise. Even when the compressor cuts out, noises caused by changes in temperature and pressure are una-
voidable. Operating noise will be most audible immediately after the compressor comes on. It becomes quieter as
the operating period continues.
The following noises are normal and occur from time to time:
•
Gurgling sound, caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance’s coils,
•
Humming noise made by the compressor. This noise can get louder for brief periods when the motor is
switch-ing on.
•
Cracking/popping sounds, resulting from the materials contraction and expansion due to temperature varia-
tions,
•
Fan operating sound, to circulate the air within the beverage cabinet.
•
Unusual noise is normally the result of improper installation.
•
Where the unit is installed in open
-
plan kitchen or in partition walls, the level of operating noise will be heard
more acutely. However, this is due to the surrounding architecture and not to the unit.
•
The surface temperature of the compressor can reach 158 - 194°F when running.
NOTE: An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the unit is located, as well
the specific type of models. Our appliances are in line with international standards for such ap-pliance and in line
with the latest technical developments. Please remember that the noise of the compressor and the coolant
circulating in the system is unavoidable.
DEFROSTING AND VENTILATION
Your beverage refrigerator is designed with an automatic defrost system. During off-cycle, the evaporator be-hind
the rear wall of the unit defrosts automatically. Condensation is collected in the drain at the back of the unit and
flows through the drainage hole into the drip tray above the compressor. The heat is transferred from compressor
and evaporates any condensation that has collected in the drip tray. Part of the remaining water within the
beverage refrigerator is collected for humidity purposes.
NOTE: Frost may accumulate on the evaporator if the unit is repeatedly opened in a high heat or high humidity
location. If this frost pattern does not clear within 24 hours, your unit will require manual defrosting.
