Before First Use

Keep the Cooler Upright for 24 Hours

Before the first power-up, the cooler should remain:

upright and outside its shipping box for 24 hours.

This is intended to reduce the risk of internal damage following transportation. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

The installation section repeats the instruction to keep the unit upright for 24 hours before initial power-up. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Remove Packaging

Before installation:

1. Remove the bottom cushioning.
2. Remove foam pads.
3. Remove internal tape.
4. Remove the protective film from the glass door and cooler body. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Position the Cooler Correctly

Place the appliance:

• Indoors
• On flat, sturdy ground
• In a well-ventilated area
• Away from direct sunlight
• Away from strong heat sources
• Away from wet or humid environments hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Use the adjustable foot to level the unit if it is unstable. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Installation Clearance

Proper spacing around the appliance helps ventilation and cooling.

Side Clearance

Leave at least:

1.5 inches / 4 cm

of circulation space on both sides of the cooler. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Distance From Stove or Furnace

Keep at least:

11.8 inches / 30 cm

between the beverage cooler and a stove or furnace. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

If avoiding a nearby heat source is not possible, the manual recommends using an insulation board.

Recommended Room Size

The manual advises operating the beverage cooler in a room of approximately:

133 cubic feet or larger. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Initial Cooling Setup

After the cooler has remained upright for 24 hours:

1. Make sure the cabinet is empty.
2. Plug the cooler in.
3. Set the Temperature Control to maximum.
4. Let the empty cooler operate for approximately 1 hour before loading beverages. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Loading Beverages

When beverages are placed inside, maintain approximately:

1.5 inches / 4 cm

between the drinks and the interior cabinet wall.

This spacing helps maintain proper airflow. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Avoid overfilling the cooler because excessive bottles or cans can reduce cooling performance. The troubleshooting table identifies an overly full cabinet as one reason the cooler may not become cold enough. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

How to Reverse the Door

The cooler door can be changed from a left-hinge orientation to a right-hinge orientation.

The official procedure is:

1. Use a screwdriver.
2. Remove the upper left hinge.
3. Remove the lower left hinge.
4. Each triangular hinge is secured with three screws.
5. Transfer the hinges to the right side of the cooler.
6. Attach them to the right side of the door. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Control Panel and Display Guide

The operating section describes four primary control functions:

The display also communicates normal operation and fault codes. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Display at Startup

When the cooler is powered on for the first time:

1. The display illuminates fully for approximately 3 seconds.
2. A startup tone sounds.
3. The normal display then appears. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

How to Use Standby Mode

Enter Standby

Press and hold the Standby button for 3 seconds.

The appliance:

• Sounds a beep.
• Turns off the display area. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Exit Standby

Press the Standby button again.

The cooler sounds another beep and the standard display returns. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

How to Turn the Interior Light On or Off

Press the Lighting button once to switch the interior light on or off. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

How to Set the Beverage Cooler Temperature

The cooler’s official temperature range is:

34°F to 50°F hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

To change the set temperature:

1. Press Increase Temperature to raise it.
2. Each press increases the setting by one degree.
3. Press Decrease Temperature to lower it.
4. Each press decreases the setting by one degree. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Memory Function

If power is switched off, the beverage cooler remembers the settings that were active.

When power returns, it resumes operation using those stored settings. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Error Codes and Fault Indicators

The manual provides two fault codes.

hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

If either code appears, the official manual identifies it as a sensor-related fault rather than a normal operating indicator.

E1 Error Code

E1 indicates a room sensor failure. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Because the manual does not provide a user repair procedure for the sensor, Customer Support should be contacted rather than attempting internal repairs.

E4 Error Code

E4 indicates a room defrost sensor failure. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

The document does not provide an internal sensor replacement procedure for owners.

Energy-Saving Tips

The manual recommends several practices to reduce power use and support cooling performance:

• Install the cooler in a dry, ventilated room.
• Keep it away from direct sunlight.
• Keep it away from radiators, stoves and similar heat sources.
• Use insulation between the cooler and an unavoidable nearby heat source.
• Keep door-opening time as short as possible.
• Avoid placing warm beverages directly into the cooler. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Normal Operating Sounds

Buzzing or gurgling sounds can occur during normal operation.

According to the official manual, these sounds can result from:

• Normal appliance operation.
• Refrigerant flowing through the internal pipeline. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

These sounds by themselves do not necessarily indicate a malfunction.

How to Disconnect the Beverage Cooler

To disconnect the unit:

1. Grasp the power plug.
2. Pull the plug from the wall socket.

Do not pull on the power cord itself. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole… hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Troubleshooting Guide

The troubleshooting table appears on page 10 of the PDF. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Cooler Is Not Cold Enough

Two causes are highlighted in the official troubleshooting chart:

• The glass door is being opened too often.
• Too many bottles or cans have been placed inside. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Reduce unnecessary door opening and allow approximately 4–5 hours for the cooler to recover.

Food and beverages should also not block the airflow space inside the cabinet. The installation instructions recommend approximately 1.5 inches between beverages and the interior wall. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Beverage Cooler Is Not Refrigerating

If no cooling is taking place:

1. Check whether household power is available.
2. Confirm that the appliance is plugged in properly. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

The unit requires a grounded 115V/60Hz electrical supply. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

LED Light Is Not Working

If the interior LED does not illuminate and the light itself has failed, the troubleshooting guide instructs the owner to contact Customer Support. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Condensation on the Glass Door

Condensation can occur when the temperature setting is too low or too high.

The official troubleshooting guidance is to:

1. Increase the temperature.
2. Wipe away the water droplets with a cloth. hOmeLabs-120-Can-Beverage-Coole…

Cooler Makes Buzzing or Gurgling Sounds
