Installing the Beverage Cooler
The beverage cooler should be installed in accordance with local
electrical code requirements. The beverage cooler 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 cooler into a power supply, be sure to let it
stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s oils to settle.
Unpacking the Beverage Cooler
WARNING
: You may need to use two more people to move and install the
beverage cooler. 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 cooler 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 cooler.
IMPORTANT
: Do not remove any safety, warning, or product information
labels from your beverage cooler.
Type of Installation
This beverage cooler has been designed for free-standing installation
only. There must be adequate ventilation space around the top, back and
sides of the unit.
Free-standing installation:
A free-standing installation will allow you to install the beverage cooler in
almost any place you desire. You must follow the stated instructions for
electrical requirements, installation clearance, and leveling the beverage
cooler.
WARNING:
Do NOT install the beverage cooler built-in or behind a
closed cabinet door.
Installation Clearance Requirements
• To ensure proper ventilation, allow at least 10” clearance at the back, 5”
at top and 5” at sides.
• The beverage cooler should be installed on a firm and level surface that
will be able to support the entire weight of a fully loaded unit. It is
important for the beverage cooler to be level in order to work properly. If
needed, you can adjust the height of the beverage cooler by rotating the
feet. See the “Leveling the Beverage cooler” section.
• A standard electrical supply (115 VAC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded
in accordance with National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances is required.
Important Notes:
• Choose a location that has
ambient temperatures above
50°F and below 95°F.
Operation outside these
temperatures may result in
lowered efficiency or cause
other adverse effects.
• This unit MUST be installed
in an area protected from the
elements, e.g., wind, rain,
water spray or drips.
• The beverage cooler should
not be located next to ovens,
grills or other high heat
sources.
