BEVERAGE CENTER USE

Normal Sounds

Your new beverage center may make sounds that your old one 
didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be 
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard 
surfaces, such as the flooring and surrounding structures, can 
make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds 
of sounds and what may be making them.

■

Your beverage center is designed to run more efficiently to 
keep your food items at the desired temperatures and to 
minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and 
fans may cause your beverage center to run longer than your 
old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound 
from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize 
performance.

■

Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items 
stored inside the beverage center.

■

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to 
the refrigerant flowing in your beverage center.

■

You may hear water running into the drain pan when the 
beverage center is defrosting.

■

You may hear clicking sounds when the beverage center 
starts or stops running.

Using the Controls

The control panel for the beverage center is located on the 
middle separator (mullion) of the beverage center. The control 

 

of the beverage center has no mechanical parts or buttons. 

 

When disconnected, the control panel displays nothing and 

 

may be difficult to locate. 

■

The first time that the beverage center is plugged in, the 
control will be in Cool Off mode. Cool On and Cool Off will 

 

be the only options that display.

■

Press COOL ON for 3 seconds to turn on the beverage 
center. All menus and recommended temperature settings 
will be displayed.

.

■

The left temperature and preset touch pads control the 
temperature of the upper compartment.

■

The right temperature and preset touch pads control the 
temperature of the lower compartment.

■

Press the F/C touch pad to toggle between displaying the 
temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius. 

 

The corresponding indicator will illuminate. 

When the beverage center is turned On for the first time, the 
temperature defaults to the recommended setting. There are two 
adjustable temperature controls, with one for each compartment.   

■

To adjust set point temperatures, press “+” (plus) or “-” 
(minus) until the desired temperature setting is reached. 

NOTE: The set point for the beverage center is 37°F (3°C) for the 
upper compartment and 50°F (10°C) for the lower compartment. 
The set point range for the upper compartment is 33°F to 40°F 
(0°C to 4°C) and 42°F to 64°F (5°C to 17°C) for the lower 
compartment

The control is set correctly when your beverages are as cold as 
you like them.

NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments for the 
beverage center to acclimate. Recheck the temperatures before 
making further adjustments. 

For your convenience, your beverage center also has controls 
that are preset to recommended storage temperatures for 
specific beverages.
