Defrosting
The refrigerator will automatically defrost under most temperature settings and ambient conditions. However,
on colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, under more humid ambient conditions, more frost
may build up. Keep the door closed as much as possible and avoid opening the door unnecessarily to minimize
frost build-up.
If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need to power the unit off until the frost melts.
Use a soft absorbent towel to dry the unit.
Normal Sounds
Your new beverage refrigerator may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are
normal. Hard surfaces like the floor or walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The
following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.
•
Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line.
•
Items stored on top of the beverage refrigerator can also make noises.
•
The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
•
The internal fan will run frequently to create a consistent internal temperature environment.
•
Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound.
•
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your beverage
refrigerator.
•
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
Temperature Alarm
If the interior temperature is higher than 73°F (23°C), “HI” is shown on the temperature
control panel and the temperature alarm will sound continuously after one hour.
This indicates that the inner temperature is too high. If the inner temperature is lower
than 25°F (-4
°C), “LO” is shown on the temperature display panel and the temperature
alarm will sound continuously after one hour. If one of these situations occurs, please
reference the troubleshooting section found in this manual or contact Avallon for support.
Door Ajar Alarm
This Beverage Cooler includes a door ajar alarm, which will sound if one of the doors is
open for more than five (5) minutes. Leaving the door open for extended periods of time
will cause poor cooling performance and may shorten the life of the refrigerator. Keep
the door closed as frequently as possible.
Warning: Never attempt to remove frost with a sharp object.
