Precautions for Installation

• WARNING: Installation should be performed only by the dealer or a qualified expert. Attempting to install yourself could result in water leakage, refrigerant leakage, electrical shock, or fire.

Precautions for Use

• WARNING: All repairs, disassembly, and modifications should be performed only by qualified technicians. Attempting these yourself could result in fire, malfunction, and injury. [Do Not Tamper]
• WARNING: Never splash water directly onto the product or wash with water, as short-circuit and electrical leakage could result. [Do Not Splash Water]
• WARNING: Never put flammable or volatile substances into the unit, as explosion and fire could result. [Danger of Explosion]
• WARNING: Do not damage, modify, excessively bend, strain, twist, or bundle the power cord. Placing heavy objects on or squeezing the cord could damage it, possibly resulting in electrical shock or fire. [Damaged Power Cord]
• Use a dedicated wall outlet. Do not use extension cords or convenience receptacles, as this could result in electrical shock, overheating, and fire. [No Extension Cords]
• WARNING: The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas are flammable. Dispose of the appliance only at an authorized waste disposal centre. Do not expose to flame.
• WARNING: Never attempt to insert fingers, sticks, etc., into the cold air suction outlet while the fan is rotating at high speed. Injury, electrical shock, and improper operation could result. [Rotating Device]
• WARNING: The cooler is intended for storage and display of beverages for sale. Do not use for other purposes. [Indoor Use Only, Avoid Rain]
• WARNING: For indoor use only. Using the unit in a location exposed to rain could result in electrical leakage and electrical shock.
• Install the unit in a location where the floor is sturdy enough to support its load. Incorrect installation could cause tipping, falling shelves, and personal injury. [Tipping Hazard]
• WARNING: Never place heavy objects or items containing water on top of the unit. Objects could fall and cause injury, and spilled water could damage electrical components, resulting in electrical leakage. [No Heavy Objects on Top]
• WARNING: Store the unit in a location where it is not exposed to rain. Using a unit exposed to rain could result in electrical leakage and electrical shock.
• If you find gas leakage, do not touch the appliance. Turn it off, open doors and windows for ventilation. Gas leakage could cause explosion, fire, and injury. [Gas Leakage Hazard]
• Keep away from hot air sources. Cooling performance is reduced if placed near heat sources or exposed to direct sunlight.
• Leave disassembly and disposal to qualified experts.
• WARNING: Should the unit need temporary storage, ensure children cannot trap themselves inside. Prevent the door from closing completely.
• WARNING: If installation in a damp location is unavoidable, install an electrical leakage circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock. [Damp Location Electrical Hazard]
• Ensure there is more than 10cm space between the unit and the wall for ventilation. Insufficient space can reduce cooling capacity.
• WARNING: Never hang from the door or climb onto the unit. The unit could tip over or fall, causing material damage or injury. [Do Not Hang on Door]

• Clean the interior compartment after delivery.
• Insert the power supply plug into a wall outlet of the correct voltage.
• Allow the unit to operate for about 1 hour to cool the compartment before placing items inside.

Wait 5 Minutes or More Before Re-starting

Restarting the unit immediately after turning it off may cause fuses to blow, activate the circuit breaker, overload the compressor, or cause other damage.

The electronic controller is factory set to cool beverages to approximately 1-5°C. To alter the temperature set point:

• User Parameter Setting: In temperature measuring mode, press [Set] for three seconds to enter user parameter setting (displays 'St'). Press [Set] to view parameter value, then use [▲] or [▼] to adjust the temperature. Press [Set] to return to 'St'.
• Administrator Parameter Setting: From 'St', press [▲] to switch to 'Po'. Press [Set] to display '00', then use [▲] and [▼] to adjust to '55'. Press [Set] again to display 'rd', indicating entry into administrator settings. If 'Po' is not set to '55', pressing [Rst] will exit parameter setting.
• Administrator Parameter Setting (Details): After entering administrator settings, use [▲] and [▼] to select menu items (St, Po, rd, etc.). Press [Set] to enter parameter setting, use [▲] and [▼] to adjust, and press [Set] to return to the menu.
• Exit from Parameter Setting: Press [Rst] or if no operation occurs within 30 seconds, the settings will be saved and the unit will exit parameter setting mode.
• Manual Defrost: In temperature measuring mode, press [Rst] for three seconds to force defrost (if d1 is not 0).

Press [Rst] to execute and exit. Auto-exit occurs after 30 seconds without operation. Note: A stable power supply is required for recovery.

Drain Tray

• Defrosting is automatic; drain water collects in the drain tray.

Efficient Use

• Open and close the door quickly to prevent cold air escape.
• Install the unit in a well-ventilated place.

Shelf Height Adjustment

• Shelf height can be adjusted. Arrange shelves according to item dimensions.

Placing Items in the Showcase

This showcase uses forced cold air circulation. Ensure circulation is not obstructed for adequate refrigeration:

• Do not let items obstruct cold air inlet/outlet.
• Place items so they do not protrude from shelves.
• Place items evenly on all shelves.
• This equipment is intended for storage and display of non-potentially-hazardous bottled or canned products only.

Climate Class

• 32°C±2°C for appliances of climatic class 0,1,2,3,4,6 or 8.
• 43°C±2°C for appliances of climatic class 5 or 7.

Cleaning

WARNING: To prevent electrical shock or injury from the circulation fan, always disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.

Exterior and Cooler Compartment

• Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. If soiled, use a cloth moistened with detergent, then wipe with a water-dampened cloth.
• WARNING: Do not splash water directly onto the cooler or wash with water, as this could cause short-circuit and electrical shock.
• Clean regularly to keep the unit clean.
• Never use polishing powder, soap powder, benzine, oil, or hot water, as these can damage the paint and plastic components. [Scrub Brush]

Checks After Cleaning

• Ensure the power cord plug is firmly inserted into a dedicated wall outlet and is not abnormally hot.
• Check the power cord for cracks or damage. If any irregularity is observed, contact the dealer or customer service.

In Case of the Following

1. Power Failure

• Minimize opening and closing the door.
• Avoid placing new items, as this will raise the internal temperature.

2. When Not Used for a Long Period

• Remove all items, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior, and wipe dry.
• Leave the door open to dry completely and prevent mold/bad smells.

3. Transportation

• Disconnect the power cord.
• When moving, ensure feet do not damage the power cord or hit floor steps/thresholds.

4. Temporary Storage

• Use a piece of wood to prevent the door from closing completely.
• Do not store in areas where children play. Ensure the door cannot trap a child inside.

Before Requesting Service

Check these items if problems persist after taking remedial actions. Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet with dry hands.

CAUTION: To prevent electrical shock hazards, do not disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet with wet hands.
