5. Maintenance and Care
5.1 Cleaning
Regular cleaning helps maintain the efficiency and appearance of your beverage refrigerator. Unplug the unit before cleaning. Use a soft cloth with a mild detergent and warm water to clean the interior and exterior surfaces. For the glass door, use a glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage surfaces.

If the refrigerator will not be used for an extended period, unplug it, empty all contents, and clean the interior thoroughly. Leave the door slightly ajar to prevent odors and mold growth. Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.
6. Troubleshooting
Before contacting customer support, please refer to the following table for common issues and their potential solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator does not operate. | Not plugged in; circuit breaker tripped; temperature set too high. | Ensure plug is secure; check circuit breaker; lower temperature setting. |
| Temperature is not cold enough. | Door opened too frequently; warm items added; poor ventilation; door seal not tight. | Minimize door openings; allow warm items to cool before placing inside; ensure proper clearance; check and clean door gasket. |
| Excessive noise. | Unit not level; vibrating against wall/cabinet; normal compressor operation. | Adjust leveling feet; move unit slightly; slight humming is normal. |
