Installation Instructions
BEFORE USE:
Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 8 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.
This appliance is designed for both freestanding and built-in use.
Place the unit on a flat, solid floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level the
appliance, adjust the front leveling leg at the bottom of the unit.
When moving your beverage center, please do not incline it more than 45 degrees.
Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight
may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient
temperatures may also cause the unit to perform improperly. The optimal ambient temperature range is 65°F -
80°F
Avoid locating the unit in damp areas.
Plug the beverage center into an exclusive, properly installed and 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 electrical grounding should be directed to a certified electrician or authorized products service center.
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 3 to 4 hours before placing wine
bottles or beverage cans in the appliance.
Note: In a built-in application, the door should protrude at least 1" beyond the surrounding cabinets.
Operation Instructions
The beverage center should be placed in an area where the ambient temperature range is between 65-80 degrees
Fahrenheit. If the ambient temperature is above or below this range, the performance of the unit may be affected. For
example, placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate.
Your Allavino BC240 Beverage Center includes this operating panel on the front of the unit. The operating panel includes
several features to operate and control the temperature of the beverage center, including:
ON/OFF Switch - Press and hold
for 3 seconds to turn on/off the appliance
Temp Set - Adjusts and displays the desired temperature on an LED display for each temperature zone
Light - Turns the interior light on or off
°F / °C - Toggles the temperature display between Fahrenheit and Celsius
UNLOCK - If no button has been touched for over 12 seconds, the control panel will get locked automatically. Then NO
button will respond to your touching. Press and hold both the up and down arrows simultaneously for 3 seconds to
unlock the control panel before you try to change the setting or turn on light.
The unit has a locking door and two keys are provided. To lock the door, turn the key clockwise and turn it
counterclockwise to unlock the door. Keep the keys in a safe place.
If you are going on vacation, you may leave the beverage center operating during vacations of less than three weeks. If
the appliance will not be used for several months, you should remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry
the interior thoroughly. To prevent mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
