CARE & CLEANING
Keep your beverage center clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean both sections at least twice
a year. Never use any type of scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not
wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION
• When moving the beverage center, pull straight out. Do not shift the beverage center from side to side as this may
tear or gouge the floor covering. If the beverage center has an automatic ice maker, be careful not to move the
beverage center beyond the plumbing connections. DO NOT MOVE THE BEVERAGE CENTER WITH A KEG INSIDE.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.
• Never use CHLORIDE to clean stainless steel.
NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE
• Turning the beverage center temperature control to “0” turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect electrical power to
the light bulb or other electrical components. To turn off power to your beverage center, you must unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive
labels. Any glue left from tape or labels can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or, touch the glue
residue with the sticky side of tape you have already removed. Do not remove the serial plate.
