Important Notes: • Choose a location that has ambient temperatures above 60°F and below 90°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. • Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the beverage cooler and wall. 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 installation and should not be recessed or built-in. 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. When installing the beverage cooler follow the recommended spacing dimensions shown. • To ensure proper service access and ventilation, allow at least 5" clearance at the back and 4" clearance on each side. The installation should allow the unit to be pulled forward for servicing, if necessary. • 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. 5
