WARNING

WARNING - Help Prevent Tragedies

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous - even if they sit out for "just a few hours".

If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

• Take off the doors or remove the drawers.

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

INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

Select Location

The proper location will ensure peak performance of your appliance. We recommend a location where the unit will be out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. To ensure your product performs to specifications, the recommended installation location temperature range is from 55 to 115°F (13 to 46°C).

Cabinet Clearance

Ventilation is required from the bottom front of the appliance. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions.

Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed around the appliance as long as the front grille remains unobstructed.

Front Leveling

Legs

Figure 2

Front Grille, keep this area open.

Rear

Leveling

Legs

Leveling Legs

Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the appliance should be set so the unit is firmly positioned on the floor and level from side to side and front to back. The overall height of your appliance may be adjusted between the minimum, 33 3 ⁄

4

" (85.7 cm), by turning the leveling leg in

(CW ↷) and the maximum, 34 3 ⁄

4

" (88.3 cm) by turning the leveling leg out (CCW ↶).

To adjust the leveling legs, place the appliance on a solid surface and protect the floor beneath the legs to avoid scratching the floor. With the assistance of another person, lean the appliance back to access the front leveling legs.

Raise or lower the legs to the required dimension by turning the legs. Repeat this process for the rear by tilting the appliance forward using caution. On a level surface check the appliance for levelness and adjust accordingly.

The front grille screws may be loosened and the grille adjusted to the desired height. When adjustment is complete tighten the two front grille screws. (See Figure 5).

!

CAUTION

Front Grille

Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the front grille allow air to flow through the condenser heat exchanger. Restrictions to this air flow will result in increased energy usage and loss of cooling capacity. For this reason it is important this area not be obstructed and the grille openings kept clean. Firemagic does not recommend the use of a custom made grille as air flow may be restricted.

(See Figure 2).

WARNING

If your refrigerator is not located under a counter top (free standing), you must use an anti-tip device installed as per these instructions. If the refrigerator is removed from its location for any reason, make sure that the device is properly engaged with the anti-tip bracket when you push the refrigerator back into the original location. If the device is not properly engaged, there is a risk of the refrigerator tipping over, with the potential for property damage or personal injury.

If installing on a concrete floor, concrete fasteners are required, (not included with the anti-tip kit).

!

NOTE

CAUTION

Any finished flooring should be protected with appropriate material to avoid damage when moving the unit.

Step by step instructions for locating the position of the bracket:

1) Decide where you want to place the kegerator. Slide it into place, being careful not to damage the floor, leaving 1"

(2.5 cm) of clearance from the rear wall to allow room for the anti-tip bracket.

2) Raise the rear leveling legs approximately 1 ⁄

4

" (6 mm) to allow engagement with the anti-tip bracket. Level the unit by adjusting all the leveling legs as required. Turning the leveling leg counterclockwise will raise the unit and clockwise will lower the unit.

3) Make sure the kegerator is in the desired location, then mark on the floor the rear and side corner of the cabinet where the anti-tip bracket will be installed. If the installation does not allow marking the rear corner of the cabinet, then make temporary lines on the floor marking the front corner of the cabinet, excluding the door. Slide the kegerator out of the way. From the temporary line extend the sidewall line back 21 1 ⁄

2

" (54.6 cm) as shown in Figure 8.

4) Align the anti-tip bracket to the marks on the floor so the side of the bracket lines up with the side of the cabinet mark, and the "V" notches on the anti-tip bracket line up with the end of the 21 1 ⁄

2

" (54.6 cm) line (Rear of cabinet line).

5) Fasten the anti-tip bracket to the floor using the supplied screw. (See Figure 8).

Floor Mount Installation

The anti-tip bracket is to be located on the floor in the left or right rear corner of the kegerator as shown in

If necessary to gain clearance inside the rough-in opening a hole can be cut through the adjacent cabinet and the power cord routed through this hole to a power outlet. Another way to increase the available opening depth is to recess the power outlet into the rear wall to gain the thickness of the power cord plug.

Not all recessed outlet boxes will work for this application as they are too narrow, but a recessed outlet box equivalent to Arlington #DVFR1W is recommended for this application, (see Figure 11).

* Depth dimension of rough-in opening may vary depending on each individual installation. To recess entire door "F" dimension plus 1" (2.5 cm) for thickness of power cord plug is required.

** Minimum rough-in opening required is to be larger than the adjusted height of the cabinet.

• Temperature Sensor Fault: If the control-

ler detects that the temperature sensor is

not properly functioning, a temperature sensor alarm will sound in one (1) second intervals. "E1" will flash on the display panel and the Alarm LED located at the top left of the display below the word "Alarm" will be illuminated. Please call Firemagic Customer Service or your dealer if this error code is displayed.

Set temperature

To set the kegerator temperature, press and hold the "SET" button. When the "SET" button is pressed, the display will show the set temperature. While holding the "SET" button, press the "WARMER" or "COLDER" buttons to adjust set temperature.

Kegerator operation

The available temperature range of the kegerator is 34° to

46°F (1° to 8° C).

•

High and Low Temperature Alarm: If

your unit reaches an unacceptable tempera-

ture outside of your set-point, the alarm will

sound in (1) second intervals. The display

panel will flash either "Hi" or "Lo" depend-

ing upon the condition and the Alarm LED light at the top left of the display below the word "Alarm" will be illuminated. These alarms indicate that the compartment temperature has moved 10° or more from the set point for more than 1 hour duration. The alarm will remain active until the condition is corrected.

It may take up to 24 hours for your kegerator to reach desired temperature. This will depend on amount of content loaded and number of door opening and closings.

For best results allow kegerator to "pull down" to desired set temperature before loading. Once contents are loaded, allow at least 48 hours for temperature to stabilize before making any adjustments to the set temperature.

Alarms

Your electronic control will monitor kegerator function and alert you with a series of audible and visual alarms.

• Door Ajar Alarm: If the door has been left

open for over five (5) minutes, the alarm

will sound in one (1) second intervals. The display panel will flash "do" and the Alarm LED located at the top left of the display below the word "Alarm" will be illuminated. This will stop as soon as the door is closed.

NOTE

During initial appliance start-up, the high temperature alarm may sound until the interior temperature reaches set point.

The high temperature alarm can also occur if the door remains open during an extended period of time (i.e. cleaning or door ajar alarm condition), high usage or loading with warm product. After a high temperature alarm condition check all perishables to ensure they are safe for consumption.

Alarm Mute

Press any key to mute the audible portion of an alarm.

NOTE

9

This action will only mute the alarm. If the condition that caused the alarm continues, the alarm code will continue to flash and will sound for 20 seconds every 60 minutes.

USING YOUR KEGERATOR

Shelving

The unit is shipped with the (2) shelves taped in place in the upper and the lower shelf positions. Remove them from the refrigerator and arrange them as follows when setting up your unit.

If you are using a quarter barrel of beer, you can add shelf space for keeping your mugs chilled. The quarter barrel must set on the floor, it cannot fit on the shelf, see

Figure 16. Be sure the white floor plate is in the bottom of the interior compartment before positioning the barrel.

STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE AND ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Background

Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel, but it is not stain or corrosion proof. Stainless steels can discolor or corrode if not maintained properly.

Stainless steels differ from ordinary carbon steels by the amount of chromium present. It is this chromium that provides an invisible protective film on the surface called chrome-oxide. This protective chrome-oxide film on the surface can be damaged or contaminated, which may result in discoloration, staining, or corrosion of the base metal.

NOTE

Stainless steel products should never be installed, or stored in close proximity to chlorine chemicals.

Whichever cleaning product you chose, it should be used in strict accordance with the instructions of the cleaner manufacturer.

Care & Cleaning

Routine cleaning of the stainless steel surfaces will serve to greatly extend the life of your product by removing contaminants. This is especially important in coastal areas which can expose the stainless to severe contaminants such as halide salts, (sodium chloride).

It is strongly recommended to periodically inspect and thoroughly clean crevices, weld points, under gaskets, rivets, bolt heads, and any locations where small amounts of liquid could collect, become stagnant, and concentrate contaminates. Additionally, any mounting hardware that is showing signs of corrosion should be replaced.

Frequency of cleaning will depend upon the installation location, environmental, and usage conditions.

Choosing a Cleaning Product

The choice of a proper cleaning product is ultimately that of the consumer, and there are many products from which to choose. Depending upon the type of cleaning and the degree of contamination, some products are better than others.

Typically the most effective and efficient means for routine cleaning of most stainless steel products is to give the surfaces a brisk rubbing with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and a gentle detergent, or mild mixture of ammonia. Rubbing should, to the extent possible, follow the polish lines of the steel, and always insure thorough rinsing after cleaning.

Although some products are called "stainless steel cleaners," some may contain abrasives which could scratch the surface, (compromising the protective chrome-oxide film), and some many contain chlorine bleach which will dull, tarnish or discolor the surface if not completely removed.

The following suggestions will minimize the cost of operating your refrigeration appliance.

1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance

(cooker, dishwasher, etc.), heating air duct, or other heat sources.

2. Install product out of direct sunlight.

3. Ensure the front grille vents at front of appliance beneath door are not obstructed and kept clean to allow ventilation for the refrigeration system to expel heat.

4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not shared with other appliances).

5. When initially loading your new product, or whenever large quantities of warm contents are placed within refrigerated storage compartment, minimize door openings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull down to compartment set temperature.

6. Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will require less appliance run time than an empty compartment.

7. Ensure door closing is not obstructed by contents stored in your appliance.

8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before placing in product.

9. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.

10. Use the warmest temperature control set temperature that meets your personal preference and provides the proper storage for your stored contents.

11. When on vacation or away from home for extended pe-

riods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable tem-

perature for the stored contents.

12. Set the control to the “off” position if cleaning the

appliance requires the door to be open for an extended

period of time.

After the stainless surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned, a good quality car wax may be applied to help maintain the finish.
