Parts Description
Before First Use
PLACEMENT
- Before using the Cooler, remove all packaging materials, including bottom cushions, foam pads, and tape inside the Cooler. Tear off the protective film on the Door and the Cooler Body.
- Make sure the Cooler is placed in a well-ventilated, indoor environment on flat, sturdy ground (rotate left or right to adjust the wheel to level if unstable).
- To ensure proper ventilation, allow for at least 11.8 in (30 cm) between the Cooler and any stove, or furnace. We also advise operating this Beverage Cooler in a room of 133 cubic feet (or larger) for safety concerns.
- Keep a circulation space of at least 1.5 in (4 cm) on both sides of the Cooler to preserve power.
- Avoid putting the Cooler in direct sunlight or too close to a heat source. Keep a safe distance of at least 11.8 in (30 cm) between the Cooler and a stove or furnace if it can’t be avoided. We also advise applying an insulation board in that case.
INSTALLATION
- Keep in an upright position for 24 hours before the initial power-up.
- While the Cooler is empty, set the “Temperature Control” to maximum and leave for 1 hour.
- When you start putting beverages inside the Cooler, maintain a 1.5 in (4 cm) gap between the interior wall of the Cooler and the beverages to keep the proper airflow.
- Follow the steps below if you want to change the Door orientation from left-hinge to right-hinge:
- Use a screwdriver to remove the upper and lower left hinge (triangle with 3 screws).
- Transfer the hinge to the right of the Cooler and attach to the right side of the Door.
ROPER USE OF BEVERAGE COOLER
Energy Conservation
- The Cooler should be placed in a room that is dry and ventilated. The Cooler cannot be placed under direct sunlight or next to a heat source (such as a radiator, stove, etc.), and a suitable insulation board must be applied if necessary.

- (a) normal wear and tear;
- (b) abuse, mishandling, accident, or failure to follow operating instructions;
- (c) exposure to liquid or infiltration of foreign particles;

- (e) commercial or non-household use. The hOmeLabs warranty covers all costs related to restoring the proven defective product through repair or replacement of any defective part and necessary labor so that it conforms to its original specifications.
