IMPORTANT: • Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet. • Never unplug the unit by pulling on the plug. Normal Sounds Your new wine and beverage cooler may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.  Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant. Items stored on top of the wine and beverage cooler can also make noises.  The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.  As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your wine and beverage cooler.  You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan. Defrosting Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will automatically defrost under most ambient conditions. However, on colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, the more humid the ambient conditions, the more frost may build up. Keep the door closed as much as possible and avoid opening the door unnecessarily to minimize frost build-up. If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need to power the unit off until the frost melts. Use a soft absorbent towel to dry the unit. Some defrost water will drain into the drip dish on the compressor and the water will be evaporated by the compressor. WARNING: Never attempt to remove frost with a sharp object! Preparing the Wine and Beverage Cooler for Storage If the wine and beverage cooler will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it will be necessary to defrost the unit and dry the interior. 1. Disconnect the cooler from the power supply by removing the power plug from the wall socket. 2. Leave the door open to allow for air circulation and to prevent mold, mildew and unpleasant smells. CAUTION: Store the unit out of the reach of children. If you have children, you may want to take additional precautions such as removing the door to prevent a child from being trapped inside the cooler! EdgeStar Wine and Beverage Cooler 10
