Risk of child entrapment. Before you discard old appliances:
• Be sure to follow your local requirements for disposal of appliances. Discarded appliances can be dangerous.
• Remove the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
• Cut off the prongs from the power cable
plug and discard them.

SAFETY
Important Safety Information
This appliance is intended for domestic use only.
Use the appliance only for its intended purpose; the
storage of beverages.
Do not store perishable foods in this unit.
Follow the cautions and safety warnings throughout
this instruction manual including the following:
• To prevent injury to you or damage to the unit,
the appliance should be unpacked and set up by
two people.
• If the appliance is damaged on delivery, contact
the supplier immediately before connecting to
the power source.
• To guarantee safe operation, ensure that appliance is set up and connected as described in
these operating instructions.
• Disconnect the appliance from the power source
if a fault occurs. Pull out the plug, turn off or disable the power source.
• When disconnecting the appliance, use the plug.
Do not pull on the cable.
• Any repairs and work on the appliance should
only be performed by the customer service
department. Unauthorized work may be dangerous to the user. Changing the power source
cable should only be done by the customer service department.
• Do not store explosives or sprays using combustible propellants such as butane, propane,
pentane, etc. in the appliance. Electrical components might cause leaking gas to ignite. You may
identify such sprays by the printed contents or a
flame symbol.

• To prevent possible injury due to broken glass,
use hand protection when replacing the interior
light.
• To avoid injury or damage to the appliance, do
not use steam cleaning equipment to clean the

• Do not operate the appliance in the presence of
explosive fumes.
• In the event of a power outage, minimize opening the door.
• To protect the appliance from possible damage, allow the appliance to stand 1/2 to 1 hour
in place before turning the electricity on. This
allows the refrigerant and system lubrication to
reach equilibrium.

Electrical Safety
Connect this appliance to a 110-120 VAC, 15 amp
circuit that is controlled by a circuit breaker or
fuse. This appliance should have its own separate
grounded circuit. Do not use an extension cord.
The power cord is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection against possible shock hazards. To maintain this protection:
• Do not modify the plug by removing the round
grounding prong.
• Do not use a two-prong adapter. Where a twoprong wall receptacle is encountered, contact
a qualified electrician and have it replaced with
a three-prong receptacle in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
• Do not use a power cord that is frayed or damaged.

• Do not use electrical appliances inside the appliance.
• Do not allow children to play with the appliance.
Children must not climb, sit or stand on the racks

DEFROSTING/CLEANING
Defrosting
The beverage compartment defrosts automatically.
The water that forms on the rear wall drains into a
reservoir at the back of the appliance and evaporates automatically through the compressor heat.

Cleaning
• To prevent possible injury due to an
electrical shock, be sure to disconnect
the power cord or turn OFF the circuit
breaker before replacing the interior
light tube or cleaning the appliance.
• To avoid injury or damage, DO NOT
use steam cleaning equipment to
clean the appliance.
Clean the appliance by hand with lukewarm water
and a little detergent.
DO NOT use abrasive or scouring sponges. DO
NOT use concentrated cleaning agents. NEVER
use abrasive or acid cleaners or chemical solvents
or steam cleaners.
• Ensure no cleaning water penetrates into the
electrical components or ventilation grille.
• Dry all parts well with a cloth.

Keep your stainless steel looking new by cleaning
with a good quality stainless steel cleaner or polish
monthly. High quality stainless steel cleaners and
conditioners are commercially available.
DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL PADS or
ABRASIVE PADS. DO NOT use cleaners that
are not for use on stainless steel, such as glass
cleaners, tile cleaners or cleaners used to clean
counter tops. These types of cleaners can damage the surface permanently.
Stainless steel that is exposed to chlorine gas and
moisture may have some discoloration. This discoloration is normal. If your unit is used in this environment, clean and polish your stainless steel more
often.
If the surface discolors or rusting appears, clean
it quickly with a non-abrasive cloth and protect it.
Always clean and polish in the direction of the grain
and finish.
IMPORTANT
Mold can form on the bottles and labels
depending on the type of adhesive used on
the labels. This can be prevented by carefully cleaning any adhesive residues off the
bottles.

• DO NOT damage or remove the model plate on
the inside of the appliance. It is very important for
servicing your appliance.
Remove any dust from the outside of the ventilation
grille (Figure 18) with a vacuum cleaner.
