INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE  
Remove the exterior and interior packing.  
Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2  
hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling  
during transportation.  
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.  
Install the handle on the door.  
INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE  
This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.  
WARNING: Do not store or install the appliance outdoors.  
CAUTION: This appliance is designed for storing and cooling beverage or wines. Do not  
store perishable food, medicine or other medical products.  
Place your appliance on a hard and level floor that is strong enough to support it when it is  
fully loaded.  
Allow at least 5 inches (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the appliance are  
suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.  
It is recommended that you do not install the appliance on carpet.  
To level your appliance, adjust the front leveling leg at the bottom of the appliance if needed.  
It is recommended that you do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator or other  
heating source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase  
electrical consumption. For best performance, do not install the appliance behind a cabinet  
door or block the base grille. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the  
appliance not to perform properly.  
Avoid locating the appliance in area that may be exposed to excessive moisture.  
Plug in the appliance into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall power outlet. Do not  
under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any  
questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a qualified  
electrician or an authorized service center. After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet,  
allow it to cool down for 2-3 hours before placing beverages in the appliance.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION  
WARNING  
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is  
damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.  
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong.  
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly  
grounded. The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to  
prevent accidental injury.  
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage  
rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also  
prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never  
unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from  
the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise  
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.  
When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.  
EXTENSION CORD  
Because of potential safety hazards, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension  
cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it  
be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug  
and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

temperatures and/or high humidity, some frost may build up. To defrost the appliance, set the  
thermostat dial to “0, remove frozen or perishable items and defrosting should occur in a few hours.
