APPLIANCE SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the Safety Alert Symbol. The symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or injure you and others. All safety messages will follow the Safety Alert Symbol and either the word DANGER or WARNING.

DANGER means that failure to heed this safety statement may result in severe personal injury or death.

WARNING means that failure to heed this safety statement may result in extensive product damage, serious personal injury, or death.

All safety messages will alert you about the potential hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and let you know what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Before the appliance is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord.

Replace all panels before operating.

It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your appliance be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.

Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

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.

3

In the event of any damage: o Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark, o Disconnect from the power supply, o Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes, and o 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 inside the appliance. It is hazardous for anyone other than an

Authorized Service Person to carry out servicing or repairs to this appliance.

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.

FOLLOW WARNING CALLOUTS BELOW ONLY WHEN APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL

Use two or more people to move and install appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed.

Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below 90°F (32°C).

The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.

The appliance must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance with state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.

Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the appliance.

The size of the fuse (or circuit breaker) should be 15 amperes.

It is important that the appliance be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several adjustments to level it.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

Make certain that the pipes are not pinched, kinked or damaged during installation.

Check for leaks after connection.

Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance.

Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may damage or discolor the interior.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Instruction Manual .

• Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas. Clearances between the door and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing the door when children are in the area.

Risk of child entrapment!

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit for a few days”.

Before discarding your old refrigerator:

Take off the doors

Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

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, if it is not already attached. (See page 8.)

Installation of your Appliance

• The appliance is designed for built-in or recessed or free standing installation for indoor use.

CAUTION: This appliance is not designed for the storage of medicine or other medical products.

• Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level the unit, adjust the front leveling legs.

• For free standing installation, 5” (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the unit, and

4” (102mm) at the top, are suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. Even for builtin installation, it is a must to keep ¼” (6.35mm) space on each side and at the top and 2” (51mm) at the rear. Take care that the air vent at the front of the appliance is never covered or blocked in any way.

NOTE: 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. Don’t install in a location where the temperature will fall below 44°F

(7°C). For best performance, do not install the appliance behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.

• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.

• Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly grounded wall outlet.

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 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. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.

5

This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~60Hz three-prong grounded electrical outlet.

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.

To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling.

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 prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on 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 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

Reversing the Door Swing

If you find the direction of opening the door of the appliance inconvenient, you can change it. Holes on the opposite side have already been prepared at the factory. To reverse your door, follow these instructions:

1. Take the upper hinge cover from the door and remove the screws that hold the top hinge

2. Lift the hinge straight up to free the hinge pin from the socket in the top of the door

3. Lift the door up and away to free its bottom socket from the hinge pin

4. Remove the screws to the bottom hinge

5. Remove the decorative caps from the opposite side and plug the holes from the original side with the decorative caps

6. Move the bottom hinge to the opposite side and tighten the screws. Use any lock washers or nuts if they were used in the original installation.

7. Replace door onto the hinge pin on the bottom hinge. Place top hinge pin into door. Insert screws into the top hinge.

NOTE : Some door styles may not be reversible. Consult our website for details

6

Installing the Handle

Some units include a handle, which you may want to install. The handle is not required to operate the unit. To install the handle, follow the instructions below:

1. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws on the side of door where the handle is to be installed.

2. Align the handle with the screws removed in step # 1. Tighten the screws using a Phillips head screwdriver until the handle is both flush and secured tightly against the door side. (DO NOT over-tighten as this will cause damage to the door surface.)

OPERATING YOUR BEER FROSTER

It is recommended you install the appliance in a place where the ambient temperature is between

44° and 90°F (7° to 32°C). If the ambient temperature is above or below the recommended temperatures, the performance of the unit may be affected.

NOTE: If the door of the unit is left open for more than 60 seconds, an alarm will sound. The alarm will stop once the door is closed.

Your Cold Cavern Beer Froster is designed to keep your beer so cold that the bottle literally frosts over when removed! The Cold Cavern stores your beer at a frigid 24°F in order to give you the coldest, crispest beer possible.

This freezer is designed for storing lighter domestic beer, preferable in aluminum cans or bottles

(approximately 50 aluminum bottles or 80 aluminum cans). It is NOT recommended for the storage of heavier or craft beers, or any beer stored in glass bottles.

Control Panel

A digital thermostat (DT) is located in the kick plate of your unit. The DT is set to 24°F for ideal frosting, but you may see other symbols displayed, which you may not be familiar with. Refer to the table below to find the meaning of each indicator symbol:

Defrosting

Freezer models and the freezer compartment of refrigerator-freezers require manual defrosting. For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or ¼ to ½” thick.

CAUTION: Never use boiling water to defrost because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost, as it may damage the cooling coils and will void your warranty. We recommend using a plastic scraper.

To Defrost:

1. Remove any stored items from the unit and place it in another cooling device

2. Turn the thermostat off and unplug your freezer, leaving the door open to help speed up the defrosting process

3. Use a sponge or toweling to remove water and melting ice from the freezer floor. Pouring warm

(not boiling) water on the ice/frost may also help speed the defrosting process.

4. Clean and thoroughly dry the freezer interior

5. Close the door and plug the freezer in, resetting the thermostat to the desired setting

6. Allow several hours for the cabinet to reach the proper storage temperature

Shelves

To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure to have the door all the way open when pulling the shelves out of the rail compartment.

Any of the shelves can be removed to store larger items.

When removing the shelf from the rail compartment, make sure to remove all items first. Then move the shelf to the position where the notch of the shelf is exactly under the plastic post and lift the shelf. In order to replace the shelf, repeat steps described above in reverse.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning your Appliance

• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items, including shelves.

• Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda (about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water).

• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.

• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area where the controls are located, 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 appliance during cleaning could result in electrical shock or other personal injury.

Power Failure

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance 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 the contents.

Vacations

• Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.

• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.

Moving your Appliance

1. Remove all items.

2. Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance, and tape the door shut.

3. Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.

4. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also, protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.

Energy-Saving Tips

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room or outdoor location, away from heat-producing appliances and out of direct sunlight.

• Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.

• Do not keep the door open any longer than necessary.

• Let warm items cool before placing in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run longer.

• Unit shelves and storage bins should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit less efficient.
