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.
CONTROL PANEL
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
The temperature range can be set between 34ºF - 43ºF (1ºC - 6ºC). To set the desired temperature, press
the button to lower the temperature or button to raise the temperature on the control panel. The
temperature display will flash for 5 seconds indicating that the desired temperature is set and will revert
back to its actual internal temperature.
NOTE:
The temperature inside the
beverage
refrigerator is dependent on the ambient temperature (room tem-
perature).
The

LEVELING THE APPLIANCE
It is important for your appliance to be leveled in order to work properly. It can be raised or lowered by rotat-
ing each of the feet on the bottom of the machine. If you find that the surface is not level, rotate the feet until
the appliance becomes level .You may need to make several adjustments to level it. We recommend using a
carpenter’s level to check the machine.
NOTE: The Whynter BR-1211DS has 1 large leveling leg and 1 small leveling leg under the door hinge.
1. Place a carpenter’s level on top of the product to see if the
appliance 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 level-
ing feet to the left to raise that side of the refrigerator.
