First Time Operating Instructions Before use, make sure all packaging labels and materials are all removed from the unit. Be sure to keep track of all included parts and pieces before discarding packaging materials. It is advised that you keep the original box and packaging materials in case you are ever to move or ship the appliance in the future.

• • • Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the beverage refrigerator and the wall or cabinet. The beverage refrigerator 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 refrigerator to be level in order to work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the beverage refrigerator by rotating the feet. See the “Leveling the Beverage Refrigerator” section.
Recommended Grounding Method For your personal safety, this appliance’s plug must be grounded. It is equipped with a 3prong power supply cord. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-pronged wall socket, and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
