FOR OUTDOOR UNITS - it is recommended that in temperatures above 110ºF (43.3ºC) and below 40ºF (4.4ºC) the unit be shut off. The normal operating range for the unit is between 60ºF (15.6ºC) and 100ºF (37.8ºC).

General Tips and Suggestions

•After making a temperture adjustment, allow 24 hours for your refrigerated beverage center to reach a new temperature setting.

•The motor will start and stop often. It must do this to maintain the temperature setting. •Unplug the refrigerated beverage center before working on anything with the electrical system.

•Exercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming, or mopping near the front of the unit. Damage to the grill and/or the light fixture switch can occur.

WINE SHELVES

To load wine bottles on wine shelves, alternate the necks of the bottles, front to back (see illustrations below). The glass shelf above the wine shelf creates the separate temperature area. Do not remove if storing wine.
