Do not place anything in front of the cabinet that would obstruct air flow at these grilles. Do not place the unit in an unventilated small room.
CAUTION Removing the factory installed back clearance spacers without providing proper left side grill clearance for compressor air flow will void the warranty.
Cabinet should be leveled.
For sanitation purposes, it may be necessary to seal the base of the cabinet to the floor. This can be accomplished by laying a bead of silicone sealant along the base of the cabinet as shown by the figure below (figure 1).

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

A digital temperature control is located on the front face of the Bottle Cooler, above the condensing unit housing. It is factory set at approximately 38°F for standard refrigeration, 30°F for low temperature models, and 50°F for wine temperature models. Make adjustments as detailed below to attain the desired temperature.

CLEANING THE DOORS

• Doors should be periodically removed from the cabinet and inspected for a buildup of foreign materials, such as syrups, beer, etc. Buildups on the underside of the doors, along with the cabinet breaker strips on which they ride, will cause them to bind, and therefore, not function as designed. If dirty, these surfaces should be cleaned with a mild detergent and water and then coated with an NSF certified silicone lubricating material.
