Operation and Controls 

It is recommended you install the appliance in a place where the ambient temperature is between 72º- 78ºF / 

23º-26ºC. If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures, the performance of the 

beverage refrigerator

 

may be affected. For example, placing your appliance in extreme cold or hot conditions 

may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate. 

NOTE:

NOTE: When using the beverage refrigerator for the first time or restarting after being shut off for a long

period of time, there may be a few degree variance between the set temperature and the LED readout.

This is normal due the length of activation time. The unit should return to normal after running for a few

hours. This unit will not raise its internal temperature if the ambient temperature where the unit is located

is lower than the set temperature. 

Please note that it is normal for the unit to cool between 1ºF-5ºF

degrees of the set temperature.
