Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous, even if they will "just sit at the curb for a few days." Before discarding your old appliance: Take off the door. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside. This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a) which is environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase the greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the eyes. In the event of any damage: - Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark, - Disconnect from the electrical power line, - Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes, and - Contact the Service Department for advice. The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up. For every ounce of coolant at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate on the back of the appliance. It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorized Service Person to carry out servicing or repairs to this appliance.3 Take serious care when handling, moving, and using the appliance to avoid either damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak. Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.

and pull it straight out of the socket. Do not pull the plug with wet hands.

2. Keep the power cord at the back of the appliance to avoid tripping accidents or

3. If the power cord is damaged or frayed, it must be replaced by a qualified service

4. Use only a standard three-hole grounded power socket rated above 10A. The socket

should not be shared with other appliances.

5. Be sure the plug fits firmly into the socket and that the socket is grounded.

6. The use of an extension cord is NOT recommended.

7. The wine dispenser requires an AC power supply of 110~120V/60Hz. The fuse or

circuit breaker should be rated at 15A.

8. If the leakage of a combustible gas is detected, turn off the gas valve and open the

doors and windows. To reduce the risk of fire caused by a spark, do not pull out the plug of the wine dispenser or of any other electrical device. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, WARNINGS & DANGER NOTICES:

NITROGEN/CARBON DIOXIDE

Use a blend of 75% nitrogen (N

) and 25% carbon dioxide (CO

) to pressurize your wine dispenser. This blend of gases is readily available.

1. DANGER! Pressurized gas is potentially dangerous. Canisters or cylinders are

under high pressure and proper handling is essential for safety. Familiarize yourself with canister installation and replacement before operating this unit. HANDLE WITH CARE. Never jostle, toss or treat cylinders roughly.

3. Store gas cylinders away from heat or explosive gases. Keep in a cool, dry space

(lower than 70°F) and chain canisters upright to avoid tipping or knocking. Always wear gloves and safety glasses when around chemicals.

4. Review and follow instructions for changing cylinders. To avoid a potential explosion

that could result in grave injury or even death, NEVER CONNECT A GAS CANISTER DIRECTLY TO THE UNIT. ALWAYS CONNECT THE CANISTER TO THE GAS REGULATOR. There are two safety valves, located separately. One is in the regulator and one on the gas canister. DO NOT REMOVE VALVES, AND DO NOT EXCEED 60 PSI.

5. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REFILL GAS CANISTERS! Refills are available where most

canisters are sold (see page 9 for more information).

– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –4

The SBC635MWKD is designed for dispensing wine only, and is not recommended for storing perishable foods such as meats or dairy products. Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, leave it standing for 2 to 3 hours. This allows the refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and reduces the risk of malfunctions in the cooling system caused by shipping. Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially the interior. (See Maintenance of the Wine Dispenser.) Proper grounding must be ensured to reduce the risk of shock and fire. Do not cut or remove the grounding plug! Tips for Saving Energy Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is hot and humid. Once you open the door, try to close it as soon as possible. If possible, disconnect the power before changing a keg of wine. Keep the unit out of direct sunlight. Periodically, check that the wine dispenser seals well and that none of the contents prevent the door from closing.

HOW TO TAP A WINE KEG

INSTALLING KEG TAP ON SINGLE BARREL TYPE KEG This wine dispenser's coupler is compatible only with a single 1/6 barrel keg, although a second untapped keg can be stored behind the tapped keg to keep it cold. Each 1/6 barrel keg holds approximately 5 gallons of wine. To tap a keg:

1. First be sure that the black dispenser handle of the keg coupler is

closed (pushed up, see Fig. 1 below). Also, make sure the tower dispenser (on top of wine dispenser) handle is closed before proceeding with tap-to-keg connection.

2. Insert the keg coupler mechanism into the top of the keg neck

and perform a quarter-turn clockwise to lock the coupler and keg together (Fig. 2).

3. Before proceeding, make sure that you insert a black rubber

washer into the wing nut connector for the wine line (see page 7, bottom photo) before connecting the line to the tap. Take off the black protective cap from the tap and screw the wing nut with the washer to a firm finger-tightness.

4. Insert the end of the gas line with the silver coupler to the gas

connection on the tap. Make sure the coupler connection is secure. Next, secure the connection between the wine line and tap with pliers (Fig. 3 and Photo 2, previous page). Make sure there are no leaks.

5. To finalize the connection, pull the black tap handle out and push down until it clicks securely.

There will be an audible click, signaling that the gas and wine connections have been opened and that your keg is tapped (Fig. 4). Now you may open the regulator valve (top right photo) and open the valve on the gas tank itself as well. Set the regulator to read 5-7 psi by turning the regulator handle (bottom photo, right) clockwise.

6. Carefully tilt the keg onto the lip of the cabinet (using the keg support shown in Fig. 5) and

position slowly into the cabinet body until the door can close. HANDLE CAREFULLY. Do not jostle or bang keg on gas canister. Note: The left regulator gauge indicates total tank pressure.

Connect to the Wine Line Tube Connect to Gas Line Tube Wine Keg Neck Wine Keg12 OPERATION Using Your Wine Keg Dispenser

1. Make sure you are connected safely to the proper power supply: a 120V, 60Hz, and

15A power outlet, grounded. The use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if an extension cord must be used, it should be rated at least 1875 watts with a minimum size of No. 14 AWG.

2. Slide the drip tray under the tap to catch the excess wine, then pull the handle of the

tower toward you to open the spigot and dispense wine. Condensation on the tap and spigot is normal. NOTE: If the wine does not dispense, check the previous sections on the regulator connection and tapping the keg.

3. If your wine is running too slowly, carefully adjust the pressure on the regulator.

Normal operating pressure is 5-7 psi. DO NOT EXCEED 12 PSI. Control Panel The control panel is located just above the door, and looks like this:

Temperature Control NOTE: This unit is designed to store and serve white and rosé wines. You can set your desired storage temperature. (White wines are generally served at approximately 45°F.) The display module shows the set temperature, and the temperature-controlled range varies from 32 to 50F (0 to 10C). Adjust the DOWN or UP button on the control panel until the display module shows the storage temperature you desire. Switching between Celsius and Fahrenheit You can switch between a Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature display by pressing the F/C button. When the displayed temperature is in Celsius, the “C” symbol will be illuminated; with a Fahrenheit display, “F” will be illuminated. ‘Rapid Cooling’ Function Press the Deep Chill button to enter the Rapid Cooling state. The “rapid cooling” icon on the display module will light and the temperature display will read “00”. After entering the Rapid Cooling mode, the appliance will work continuously for 24 hours and the icon will remain lit. After that time, the icon will turn off and the appliance will return to its former state.

DOWN: Lowers UP: Raises Display module Fahrenheit/Celsius Rapid temperature temperature switching cooling13 You can cancel the Rapid Cooling mode any time during the 24 hour period by simply pressing the Deep Chill button again. Note: The Rapid Cooling function is normally used only for cooling the first keg of wine in the appliance, when that keg is to be used as soon as possible. To prevent over- cooling the wine, do not use Rapid Cooling for succeeding kegs.

Warning: The Rapid Cooling function might not be suitable for certain types of wine.

Automatic Defrosting There is usually no need to defrost the wine dispenser because the ice deposited on the inner back wall is automatically defrosted. Ice deposits on the inner back wall during compressor operation. Later on, when the compressor is not operating, the ice defrosts and water drains through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor where it evaporates. If you see water building up in the rear of the unit, check that the drain trough is not clogged. Use a pipe cleaner or a piece of flexible wire. During extremely hot and humid weather, some ice may build up. If necessary, remove contents of the wine dispenser, unplug the unit and allow defrosting. A hair dryer may facilitate the process. Error Prompts When the following prompts appear in the display module, there is a failure in the appliance. Although one of the fault conditions occurs, the wine dispenser may still work. However, you should contact our Service Department as soon as possible to obtain advice on handling the situation. Prompt

Fault Temperature sensor failure in the refrigerated zone Defrosting sensor failure in the refrigerator compartment Ambient temperature sensor fault Note: When two or more sensors fail simultaneously, all fault codes will display alternately on the display module. If the ambient temperature and defrost sensors fail, any key may be pressed. The temperature is adjustable. The fault display will be restored after 15 seconds. Normal Functioning If there is a sound of rushing water when the machine is in use, the noise is caused by the refrigerant flowing in the cooling pipes and running through the compressor. This is a normal phenomenon. The wine dispenser has no heating function. When the temperature is set higher than the ambient temperature, the machine will not run.14

MAINTENANCE OF THE WINE KEG DISPENSER

Cleaning To clean the lines and tap, first:

2. Next, wipe the outside of the machine, clean

drip tray and around guardrail. Clean the inside of the cabinet by wiping with a damp cloth. Clean gasket on door to help eliminate trapped, spilled wine which could produce mold and mildew.

3. Disconnect the wine hose from the tap

coupler and twist dispenser faucet carefully off the top of the wine keg dispenser.

4. Set the dispenser handle to the open or

down position before flushing, then position the faucet over a sink and hold the wine line under running water for approximately 5 minutes, allowing the water to flush out the faucet head. This will also help eliminate trapped, spilled wine which could produce mold and mildew.

5. Reconnect wine line and dispenser faucet when done or leave disconnected if you

plan to store for a long period. NOTE: At least every three months, or when the wine is changed or replaced, the wine line and dispensing accessories should be cleaned thoroughly using special wine line cleaners. These cleaners are available in both alkaline and acidic formulations, and the use of these should be alternated. Follow instructions on the packaging. Storing Your Wine Keg Dispenser

1. If you do not expect to use your wine dispenser for an extended period of time, rinse

the wine line to prevent mold or bacterial buildup which could cause illness. Allow the door to remain open slightly to prevent the buildup of mold and odors.

2. Never use sharp objects in your wine keg dispenser. If you are storing your machine,

be sure to prevent children from playing in or around the unit. DANGER! Children can become trapped in an unsecured and unsupervised environment. Transporting the Unit Firmly fix any loose items inside the wine dispenser with tape. Tape the door shut so it will not open during transportation. Loosen the two foot brakes before moving the unit. Detach wine line Flush hose with water15 Disposing of a Worn-Out Unit When your appliance finally wears out, dispose of it. Before you dispose of an old appliance: Take the door or doors off but leave any shelves or drawers in place so that children cannot easily climb inside. The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and insulating substances that should be recycled separately. Either have a licensed appliance repair company or dealer remove the appliance or call your local recycling office for the appropriate disposal information. For the sake of environmental protection, when moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the rear wall (the condenser unit or the tubes) or any part of the refrigeration system inside the appliance. This wine keg dispenser is 100% CFC-free, but the coolant is under pressure and inflammable, and puncturing the sealed system could be dangerous. The coolant used in the sealed system is non-toxic. Many older appliances may contain refrigerants that are harmful to the environment, and should be recycled by a lawfully licensed company.16 ACCESSORIES

PROBLEMS WITH THE WINE KEG DISPENSER

PROBLEM: The appliance is not operating. Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Has a household fuse blown or a circuit breaker been tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit. Is the digital thermostat set incorrectly? See Temperature Control section on page 12. PROBLEM: The motor is constantly running, or running too much. Is it warmer than usual where the wine keg dispenser is located? At normal temperatures, the motor will typically run between 40% and 80% of the time. The motor will run even longer when the unit is in an unusually warm environment. Has a new wine keg been put into the unit? The motor will run longer while the keg is cooling down. Is the door frequently opened? Warm air entering the appliance causes the motor to run longer. Keep the door closed as much as possible. Is the thermostat set correctly? See Temperature Control on page 12. Is the door completely closed? Push the door firmly shut. Are the air vents clogged? This prevents proper air transfer and causes the motor to work harder. Clean the air vents. PROBLEM: The wine keg dispenser temperature is too warm. Have you just added a new keg to the unit? This will warm the interior of the unit until the unit is able to cool down to the correct temperature. Is the control set correctly? See Temperature Control on page 12. PROBLEM: There is excessive moisture inside the wine keg dispenser. Is the door opened frequently? If so, humidity from the room will enter the unit and cause moisture to build up. This will happen even more if the air in the room is very humid. PROBLEM: The door is hard to open Is the gasket dirty or sticky? Clean the gasket and the surfaces that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gasket after cleaning. PROBLEM: The taste of the wine is “off”. Have the tap and accessories been cleaned recently? See page 14.18 LIMITED WARRANTY
