Before Using Your Beverage Cooler
- Remove the exterior and interior packing.
- Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
• 2 Shelves
• 1 Instruction manual
• Additional 2 keys(For model SBCA017GL only)
- Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installing Your Beverage Cooler
- This Beverage Cooler uses superconductor heat-pipe refrigeration technology (no compressor).
- This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in (Fully recessed).
- Place your Beverage Cooler on a floor that is strong enough to support the Beverage Cooler when it is fully loaded.
- Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the Beverage Cooler, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the heat sink.
- Locate the Beverage Cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the Beverage Cooler not to perform properly.
- Avoid locating the Beverage Cooler in moist areas.
- Plug the Beverage Cooler into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall 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 certified electrician or an authorized service center.
- After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before placing food in the Beverage Cooler compartment.
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 an authorized service center.
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
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. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
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 under certain conditions, 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 300 volts and at least 10 amperes.
SURGE PROTECTOR
Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are very susceptible to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.
If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power surges / outages; it is suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices / appliances you use. The surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the appliance it is connected to. If you have any questions regarding the type and size of surge protector needed contact a licensed electrician in your area.
Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your product warranty.
TO PREVENT LIQUIDS FROM FREEZING YOU MUST ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL TO THE MEDIUM SETTING AFTER THE INITIAL 24 HOUR PERIOD OF USE.
Setting the Temperature Control
- Your Beverage Cooler has only one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is located on the upper right hand corner of the compartment.
- To control the internal temperature, adjust the control knob according to the ambient temperature or purpose of use.
- The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to "HI".
- The range of the temperature control is from position "OFF" to "HI".
- After 24 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suites your needs. The setting of "MED" should be appropriate for home or office Beverage Cooler use.
•
NOTE:
- Turning the temperature control to "OFF" position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the appliance.
Interior Light
This Beverage Cooler is provided with a LED light located on the top of the compartment. The light is manually activated and will not be on when the door is opened and be off when the door is closed. To turn the light ON / OFF use the switch located and the top right hand side of the unit.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
> Defrosting Your Beverage Cooler
This model uses a superconductor heat-pipe cooling system with automatic defrosting system so there is no need to defrost it manually.
Cleaning Your Beverage Cooler
• UNPLUG the Beverage Cooler, and remove the shelf.
- Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
- Wash the shelf with a mild detergent solution.
- The outside of the Beverage Cooler should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
- Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
- Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
CAUTION
Failure to unplug the Beverage Cooler could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your Beverage Cooler if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.
Vacation Time
- Short vacations: Leave the Beverage Cooler operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
- Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.
Moving Your Beverage Cooler
- Securely tape down all loose items inside your Beverage Cooler.
- Tape the door shut.
- Protect the outside of Beverage Cooler with a blanket, or similar item.
Energy Saving Tips
- The Beverage Cooler should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Overloading the Beverage Cooler forces the superconductor cooling system to run longer. - Reduce door openings and extended searches, remove as many item as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
- One characteristic of superconductor heat-pipe units is the length of time it requires to recover from having the door opened and shut frequently. It may be necessary to wait longer for the temperature to return to its former level once the door has been opened for too long. This is normal for the type of unit.
