Remove Packaging
Your refrigerator has been packed for shipment with all
parts that could be damaged by movement securely fas-
tened. Cut the banding material at the bottom of the carton,
unfold the carton at the bottom and remove the carton from
the appliance. Remove the plastic bag, styrofoam corner
posts, and any tape holding the door closed and internal
components in place. The owners manual is shipped inside
the refrigerator in a plastic bag along with the warranty
registration card.
Important
Keep your carton packaging until your refrigerator has been
thoroughly inspected and found to be in good condition. If
there is damage, the packaging will be needed as proof of
damage in transit. Afterwards please dispose of all items
responsibly in particular the plastic bags which can be a suf-
focation hazard.

Help Prevent Tragedies
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the
past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous.
Even if they sit out for “just a few days”.
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow
the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
• Take off the doors or remove the drawers.
• Leave the shelves in place so children may not easily
climb inside.
Important Safety Instructions
Warnings and safety instructions appearing in this guide
are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations
that may occur. Common sense, caution, and care must
be exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating this
appliance.
Recognize Safety Symbols,
Words, and Labels.
If the unit was shipped or has been laying on its back for
any period of time allow the refrigerator to sit upright for a
period of at least 24 hours before plugging in. This will as-
sure oil returns to the compressor. Plugging the refrigerator
in immediately may cause damage to internal parts.
WARNING-Hazards or unsafe practices which could
result in personal injury.
CAUTION-Hazards or unsafe practices which could
result in personal injury or property or product damage.

INSTALLING YOUR BEVERAGE CENTRE
Select Location
The proper location will ensure peak performance of your
appliance. We recommend a location where the unit will
be out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. To
assure your product performs to specifications the recom-
mended installation location temperature range is from
18 to 27°C for indoor built in units, 18 to 32°C for indoor
freestanding units, and 4 to 38°C for outdoor units.
Cabinet Clearance
Ventilation is required from the bottom front section of the
unit. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions.
Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed around
the unit as long as the grille and door access remain unob-
structed.

Leveling Legs
Front Grille,
keep this
area open.
Figure 1
Front Grille
Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the front
grille provide air to flow into and exit from the refrigerator
condenser. For this reason it is important this area to not be
obstructed and be kept clean. Rangemaster does not recom-
mend the use of custom made grilles as air flow may be
restricted because of inadequate openings. (See Figure 1).
Leveling Legs
Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the unit
should be set so the unit is firmly positioned on the floor and
level from side to side and front to back. Turn leveling legs
clockwise to raise unit, counterclockwise to lower it. (See
Figure 1).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Figure 2
Green/Yellow
(earth) Fuse (13A)
Blue (neutral) Brown (live)
13A must be used and fitted with a 13A fuse “ASTA” ap-
proved to BS 1363.
If you replace the fuse, the cover must be refitted. If the
cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement
has been obtained from your supplier. The color of the fuse
cover is that of the insert in the base of the fuse recess or
elsewhere on the plug. Always state this color when order-
ing a replacement cover.
If your appliance has a moulded plug, you do NOT have to
do the following assembly as shown in Figure 2. Appliances
with moulded plugs are ready to use as is.
IMPORTANT: The wires should be connected to the termi-
nals of the plug as follows:
• Earth to the terminal marked E or coloured Green or
Green/Yellow.
• Neutral to the terminal marked N or coloured Blue.
• Live to the terminal marked L or coloured Brown.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are
retained in each terminal. The flexible main cable, plug and
socket must not be exposed to flue products or be allowed
to come in contact with a hot surface. The cable must not
be trapped or pulled taut when the appliance is pushed into
position.
THIS UNIT SHOULD NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
BE UNEARTHED.
Electrical Connection
Use nominal 230 VAC, 50 Hz only.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. All external wiring
must comply with the IEE Regulations for the Electrical Equip-
ment of Buildings. Connections to the electrical supply can
be made with either a plug and socket or be permanently
wired via a double-pole switch.
The appliance is supplied with a 250VAC PVC (85 degrees
C) core cable (0.5mm x 2 metres long). Any replacement
cable fitted must follow this specification. The unit may be
supplied with either a moulded or rewirable plug. Should
the plug not fit the socket at the installation site, it should be
removed and replaced with the correct type of plug.
If a moulded plug is fitted which is not suitable, it must be
removed and disposed of. To avoid the risk of electrocu-
tion, a plug must not be left where a child may plug it into a
supply socket. It must not be used for any other appliance.

USING YOUR MicroSentry™REFRIGERATION MONITOR
During initial startup, or anytime power is interrupted,
there will be an approximate 5 minute delay before the
refrigerator starts. During this period the controller will
be assessing the temperature in the refrigerator and the
display will appear erratic, this is normal. The desired
temperature set point can be programmed during this
start up period.
Starting your refrigerator
The refrigerator will begin start up when initially plugged in
or when power resumes after a power outage. At this time
the refrigerator will take approximately 5 minutes to begin
running as noted above. If the refrigerator has been turned
off during use, “OFF” will appear on the display. To start the
refrigerator from the “OFF” position press and hold the ON/
OFF button for 3 seconds.
Set temperature
To set temperature set point, press and continue to hold
“SET” button. After one second, set point will be displayed.
While holding “SET” button use the “WARMER” or “COLD-
ER” button to desired set point.
NOTE: Momentarily pressing & releasing “SET” button will
access information menu of control. Refer to appendix A for
information on this feature.
Refrigerator operation
The available temperature range of the refrigerator is 4° to
18° C.
It may take up to 24 hours for your refrigerator to reach de-
sired temperature. This will depend on amount of contents
loaded and number of openings and closings of the door.
For best results allow refrigerator to “pull down” to desired
set point before loading. Once contents are loaded, allow
at least 48 hours for temperature to stabilize before making
any adjustments to the set point.
Alarms
Your MicroSentry™ refrigerator control will monitor refrig-
erator function and alert you with a series of audible and
visual alarms.
•Door Ajar Alarm: If the door has been left
open for over five (5) minutes, the alarm
will sound in one (1) second intervals. The
display panel will flash “do” and the LED light will be a
steady amber color. This will stop as soon as the door is
closed.
•High and Low Temperature Alarm: If your
unit reaches an unacceptable temperature
outside of your set point, the alarm will
sound in one (1) second intervals. The
display panel will flash either “hi” or “Lo”
depending upon the condition and the LED light will be a
steady amber color. “hi” indicates that the temperature is
5.5°C above the set point and “Lo” indicates that the tem-
perature is 5.5°C below the set point. The alarm will remain
active until the condition is corrected.
During initial appliance start-up, the high temperature alarm
may sound until the interior temperature reaches set point.
•Temperature Sensor Fault: If the controller
detects that the temperature sensor is
not properly functioning, a temperature
sensor alarm will sound. “E1” will flash on the display, and
an alarm will sound. Please call Rangemaster Customer
Service or your dealer if this error code is displayed.
•Condenser Needs Cleaning:
When the refrigerator has reached the
recommended amount of run time to ne-
cessitate cleaning the air flow, “cL” will flash on the display
as a reminder. See the “Care and Cleaning” section for
cleaning instructions.
To clear the alarm:

Insert Wine Bottles
The wine rack pull-out shelf holds four (4) bottles. See Fig-
ure 4 for typical wine bottle orientation.
Loading Tips and Suggestions
The wine rack can be located at any shelf support but it is
recommended it be located toward the uppermost position
in the cabinet. The utility shelves can be located at any posi-
tion depending on bottle size. See Figure 5.
Keep wines that you plan to use for everyday drinking and
entertaining on the front half of the racks where labels are
completely visible. Place wines for aging or longer term
storing in the rear.
Pull-out Racks
The pull-out wine rack may be pulled out approximately
160 millimeters to facilitate adding or removing bottles. Do
NOT lean on or press down heavily on the wine shelf. Do-
ing so may damage the shelf and the wine bottles stored on
it. Pull the wine rack out gently and carefully to minimize
unsettling your wine collection. AVOID pulling out more
than one rack at any time to maintain stability.
Single Bottle Racks
Since bottles are not stacked on top of each other, you can
easily view and access your inventory without disturbing
other bottles.
