Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerated Appliance

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

Remove door or drawer(s) from your old refrigerated appliance.

Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned beverage centers are still dangerous - even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of your old beverage center, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerated Appliance:

Take off the door.
Leave the racks and shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from beverage center.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

To ensure proper ventilation for your beverage center, allow for a 1/4'' (6.35 mm) space on each side and at the top. When installing your beverage center next to a fixed wall, leave 21/2'' (6.35 cm) minimum clearance on the hinge side to allow for the door to swing open.

NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the beverage center near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall below 55^ (13^) . For best performance, do not install the beverage center behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Before you move your beverage center into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

Recommended grounding method

A 115 Volt, 60Hz AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your beverage center be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, unplug beverage center or disconnect power.

Unpack the Beverage Center

AWARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install beverage center.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Remove the Packaging

• Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the beverage center. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
• 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 center. For more information, see "Beverage Center Safety."
  Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

When Moving Your Beverage Center:

Your beverage center is heavy. When moving the appliance for cleaning and service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the appliance straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or "walk" the appliance when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your beverage center before using it. See the cleaning instructions in "Beverage Center Care."

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

Install Custom Overlay Frame

IMPORTANT:

Create custom overlay frame according to the specifications in the "Custom Overlay Frame" section.
KitchenAid is not responsible for the removal or addition of molding or decorative panels that would not allow access to the appliance for service.

BEVERAGE CENTER USE

Normal Sounds

Your new beverage center may make sounds that your old one didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, such as the flooring and surrounding structures, can make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

• Your beverage center is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may cause your beverage center to run longer than your old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
  Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items stored inside the beverage center.
  As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your beverage center.
  You may hear water running into the drain pan when the beverage center is defrosting.
  You may hear clicking sounds when the beverage center starts or stops running.

Using the Control

For your convenience, your beverage center control is preset at the factory. When you first install your beverage center, make sure that the control is still preset to the mid-setting as shown.

Adjusting Controls

The mid-setting indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal usage. The control is set correctly when beverages are as cold as you like.

If you need to adjust the temperature, wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then recheck the temperature.

To make the beverage center colder, adjust the control to the next higher setting. To make the beverage center less cold, adjust the control to the next lower setting.

Temperature Separator (Temperature Display)

The temperature separator displays the current temperatures (Fahrenheit or Celsius) for the upper, middle and lower zones (compartments) of the beverage center. To adjust the temperature settings, see "Adjusting Controls" earlier in this section.

A. Dimmer
B. Upper zone display
C.Middle zone display
D. Lower zone display
E. Fahrenheit/Celsius

Beverage/Wine Racks

Lighting the Beverage Center

The beverage center has an interior light that comes on anytime the door is opened. You may also turn the light on at any time by opening the door and pressing the exterior switch located beside the temperature control knob on the base grille.

NOTE: Leaving the light on for an extended period of time will slightly increase the temperature of the beverage center.

BEVERAGE CENTER CARE

Cleaning

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Clean the beverage center about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

To clean your beverage center:

1. Unplug beverage center or disconnect power.
2. Remove all racks and shelves from inside the beverage center.

3. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

4. To avoid damaging wood trim pieces, do not immerse the entire rack into water when cleaning.

5. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or damage materials.
   To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 lbs to 1 qt [26 g to 0.95 L] of water).

6. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing chlorine. These can scratch or damage materials. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

NOTE: To keep your stainless steel beverage center looking like new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use the manufacturer's approved Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish. To order the cleaner, see "Accessories."

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!

Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

1. Replace the racks and shelves.
2. Clean the condenser coils regularly. They are located behind the base grille. Coils may need to be cleaned as often as every other month. This may help save energy.

Remove the base grille. See "Base Grille."
Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to clean the condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
Replace the base grille.

1. Plug in beverage center or reconnect power.

Changing the Light Bulb

NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your beverage center. Be sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape, and wattage.

To change the light bulb:

1. Unplug beverage center or disconnect power.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw located at the back of the light shield. Pull the light shield back to remove the tabs from the appliance. Remove the light shield.

Vacations

If you choose to turn the beverage center off before you leave, follow these steps.

1. Remove all wine bottles from the beverage center.
2. Unplug the beverage center.
3. Clean the beverage center. See "Cleaning."
4. Tape a rubber or wood block to the top of the door to prop it open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building up.

Moving

When you are moving your beverage center to a new home, follow these steps to prepare it for the move.

1. Remove all wine bottles from the beverage center.
2. Unplug the beverage center.
3. Clean, wipe, and dry it thoroughly.
4. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

Your beverage center will not operate

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.
■ Is the Beverage Center Control turned to the OFF position? See "Using the Control."

The lights do not work

Is a light bulb loose in the socket? Unplug beverage center or disconnect power. Gently remove the bulb and reinsert. Plug in beverage center or reconnect power.
Has a light bulb burned out? Replace with an appliance bulb of the same wattage, size, and shape. See "Changing the Light Bulb."

The motor seems to run too much

Is the temperature outside hotter than normal? Expect the motor to run longer under warm conditions. At normal temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more of the time.
Is the door opened often? Expect the motor to run longer when this occurs. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the beverage center at once, keep wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy to find, and close the door as soon as the wine is removed.
■ Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See "Using the Control."
Is the door closed completely? Push the door firmly shut. If it will not shut all the way, see "The door will not close completely" later in this section.
Are the condenser coils dirty? This obstructs air transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. See "Cleaning."

Temperature is too warm

Is the door opened often? Be aware that the beverage center will warm when this occurs. In order to keep the beverage center cool, try to get everything you need out of the beverage center at once, keep wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy to find, and close the door as soon as the wine is removed.
■ Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See "Using the Control."
■ Is the base grille blocked? For best performance, do not install the beverage center behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.

There is interior moisture buildup

■ Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity buildup, try to get everything you need out of the beverage center at once, keep wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy to find, and close the door as soon as the wine is removed. When the door is opened, humidity from the room air enters the beverage center. The more often the door is opened, the faster humidity builds up, especially when the room itself is very humid.
Is it humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside the beverage center when the air is humid.
■ Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See "Using the Control."

The door is difficult to open

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Is the gasket dirty or sticky? Clean the gasket and the surface that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gasket following cleaning.

The door will not close completely

Are the racks or shelves out of position? Put the racks or shelves back into their correct positions. See "Beverage Center Use" for more information.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard
