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: Use two or 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.
Types of Installation
This beverage cooler has been designed for freestanding or built-in
installation. Regardless of installation type, there must be adequate
ventilation and access for service.
Freestanding installation:
A freestanding installation will allow you to install the beverage cooler in
almost any place you desire. However, the unit does need an open
environment in order to vent properly. You must follow the stated
instructions for electrical requirements, and leveling the beverage cooler.
Built-in installation:
A recessed installation will allow you to install the beverage cooler under
a counter or in a kitchen cabinet provided the required clearance space
around the beverage cooler is 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 cooler in front of the installation location. Adjust
the feet and place the unit flat on the floor or on a platform depending
on your installation requirements.
2. If the electrical outlet for the beverage cooler is behind the cabinet,
plug in the beverage cooler.
3. Push the beverage cooler into position.
WARNING: Do NOT install the beverage cooler behind a closed cabinet
door.
