CAUTION
:
This appliance is designed for storing and cooling beverages and drinks. Do not store
perishable food, medicine or other medical products.
•
Place your Beverage Merchandiser on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
To level the unit, adjust the front leveling legs.
•
For freestanding installation, 5 inches (127 mm) of space between the back and sides of the unit are
suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser for energy
saving. Even for built-in installation, it is a must to keep 2 to 3 mm of space (about 1/10") on each side
and at the top, and 2 inches (51 mm) at the back, to ensure proper service access and ventilation. And
the air vent at the front of the appliance must never be covered or blocked in any way.
•
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator or other heating
source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Don’t install in a location where the temperature will fall below 60°F (16°C). For best
performance, do not install the appliance behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.
•
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
