3. Leveling the Appliance
Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the cooler to ensure it is stable and level. This helps reduce vibrations and ensures proper door sealing.
4. Power Connection
After placement, wait at least 2 hours before plugging the cooler into a 127V grounded electrical outlet. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Do not use an extension cord.
5. Initial Cleaning
Before first use, clean the interior and exterior of the cooler with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
Operating Instructions
1. Control Panel
The cooler features a digital touch control panel located on the top front. This panel allows you to adjust the temperature and control the internal light.
- Power Button: Press to turn the cooler on or off.
- Temperature Up/Down Buttons: Use these to increase or decrease the desired temperature setting. The display will show the set temperature.
- Light Button: Press to turn the internal LED light on or off.
2. Temperature Setting
Press the temperature up or down buttons to set your desired cooling temperature. The cooler will automatically adjust to maintain this temperature. Allow several hours for the cooler to reach the set temperature, especially after initial setup or loading with new beverages.
3. Loading Beverages
Arrange bottles and cans on the shelves, ensuring not to block the internal air circulation. The cooler can hold up to 60 cans (330ml) or 40 bottles (550ml). The shelves are removable to accommodate different sizes.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Interior
Unplug the cooler before cleaning. Wash the interior surfaces, shelves, and door seal with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects.
2. Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior with a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild detergent. Dry with a soft, clean cloth. Avoid getting water on the control panel or electrical components.
3. Power Outage
In case of a power outage, minimize opening the door to preserve the internal temperature. For prolonged outages, consider transferring contents to another cooling device.
4. Vacation Time
For short vacations, leave the cooler operating. For long vacations, unplug the unit, empty all contents, clean the interior, and leave the door slightly ajar to prevent odors and mold growth.
