LEVELING THE APPLIANCE
It is important for the beverage refrigerator to be leveled in order to
work properly. It can be raised or lowered by rotating each of the
feet on the bottom of the machine. If you find that the surface is not
level, rotate the feet until the beverage refrigerator becomes lev-
el .You may need to make several adjustments to level it. We recom-
mend using a carpenter’s level to check the machine.
1. Place a carpenter’s level on top of the product to see if the bever-
age refrigerator is level from front to back and side to side.
2. Adjust the height of the feet as follows: Turn the leveling feet to
the right to lower that side of the refrigerator. Turn the leveling feet to
the left to raise that side of the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT: Once you are ready to install, you must adjust the
feet to level the beverage refrigerator .
DEFROSTING
Under most ambient conditions, the appliance does not need to be defrosted. In cold ambient temperatures
and/or high humidity, some frost may build up. To defrost the appliance, set the thermostat dial to “0”, remove
frozen or perishable items and defrosting should occur in a few hours. After defrosting, return the thermostat
dial to the desired position. For faster defrosting, remove all items from the appliance, unplug the appliance
and leave the door open. Never use a knife or other metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator.
NORMAL SOUNDS
The unit is cooled by a compressor. The compressor pumps coolant through the cooling system, producing
operating noise. Even when the compressor cuts out, noises caused by changes in temperature and pressure
are unavoidable. Operating noise will be most audible immediately after the compressor comes on. It be-
comes 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
switching on.
Cracking/popping sounds, resulting from the materials contraction and expansion due to temperature vari-
ations,
Fan operating sound, to circulate the air within the refrigerator 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.
NOTE: An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the unit is lo-
cated, 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.
