Installing Your Beverage Refrigerator
The beverage refrigerator should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements. It should also be
placed in a location that is strong enough to support its total weight, keeping in mind that it will weigh substantially
more when fully loaded than when empty.
Before you plug the beverage refrigerator into a power supply, be sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours to
allow the compressor’s oils to settle.
WARNING:
Use two or more people to move and install the beverage refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury. Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and glue from your beverage
refrigerator before using. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to
remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your beverage refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
Do not remove any safety, warning, or product information labels from your beverage refrigerator.
TYPES OF INSTALLATION:
This beverage refrigerator has been designed for free-standing or built-in installation. In every case, there must be
adequate ventilation and access for service.
Free-standing installation
: A free-standing installation will allow you to install the beverage refrigerator in almost any
place you desire. You must follow the stated instructions for electrical requirements and leveling the beverage
refrigerator.
Built-in installation
: A recessed installation will allow you to install the beverage refrigerator under a counter or in a
kitchen cabinet provided the clearance space requirements around the beverage refrigerator are followed. It is
necessary to allow adequate ventilation space around the unit (make sure there is at least some ventilation room for the
back of the unit). The following additional items must be observed:
1.
Place the beverage refrigerator in front of the installation location.
2.
Adjust the feet and place the unit flat on the floor or on a platform depending on your installation requirements.
3.
If the electrical outlet for the beverage refrigerator is behind the cabinet, plug in the beverage refrigerator.
4.
Push the beverage refrigerator into position.
WARNING:
Do NOT install the beverage refrigerator behind a closed cabinet door.
