INSTALLATION
• Remove all packing material before using your cooler.
• Clean the interior surface with a soft cloth and lukewarm water.
• Locate the cooler in a dry and airy place.
• Install your cooler on a solid and level floor (other than carpet). This will
ensure a vibration and noise-free operation.
• Coolers transported in the horizontal position, must be returned to the
upright position, and not plugged in for minimum 1 to 12 hours. This is
essential for proper operation.
• Cooler transported in the horizontal position requires the drip pan,
located on top of the compressor, be checked for proper positioning.
• Do not locate the appliance close to walls; this could damage the electric
cord and may block the air circulation to the appliance. Keep the cooler a
distance of at least 4 inches from wall.
• Do not block the air intake that ventilates the condenser unit.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
• This unit operates with a 115V~60Hz power supply. Check the electrical
outlet for proper voltage.
• Warning: Do not plug other electrical appliances into cooler outlet. The
coolers are supplied with 8ft length electric cord. Do not use extension
cords. Provide an outlet just for the cooler. If the cord is damaged,
replace it and do not try to repair it.
• For your own safety and for protection of the cooler, verify the existence
of the ground circuit in the electrical power supply. In case of doubts, ask
the assistance of an authorized electrician.

cleaning products.
• Clean the condenser at least once a month with a vacuum cleaner or a
brush to eliminate the dust accumulation.
Power failure
• Please minimize the frequency of opening the door during a power failure.
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and the temperature
of your beverages will not be affected.
• If the power will be off for an extended period, proper procedure should
be followed for the stored cans.
Non-use for extended time frames:
• If your cooler is unused for extended periods, it is best to remove the
cans, unplug and clean your cooler. Also please open the door to avoid
possible formation of condensation, mold or odors.
Moving the cooler
• Take out all the cans.
• Secure all loose parts inside the cooler.
• Tape the door shut.
• During transportation, make sure that the cooler is in the upright position.
Drip pan
• When the compressor stops working, water drops will drain through the
outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan (above the compressor).
• If the drain pan needs to be cleaned, pull the drain pan forward gently
and reinstall it after cleaning.
