Grounding Method
This product is factory equipped with a power supply cord
that has a three-pronged, grounded plug. It must be
plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in accor-
dance with the National Electrical Code and applicable lo-
cal codes and ordinances (see Figure 1). If the circuit does
not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility
and obligation of the customer to exchange the existing
receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and applicable local codes and ordinances. The third
ground prong should not, under any circumstances, be cut
or removed (see Figure 2). All U.L. listed refrigerated prod-
ucts are equipped with this type of plug.

MICROSENTRY™ REFRIGERATION MONITOR
Warning Alarms
Your beverage center has been fitted with a MicroSentry™
refrigeration monitor. This monitor will let you know if your
cellar is not functioning properly for optimum wine and
beverage storage.
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
If your unit reaches an unacceptable temperature outside
of your set point for more than one (1) hour, 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 10 degrees F above the set point
and “Lo” indicates that the temperature is 10 degrees F
below the set point. These alarms will warn you that your
wines have seen temperatures that may not be conducive
for long term storage. The alarm will remain active until
the condition is corrected.
NOTE: During initial appliance start-up, the high tem-
perature alarm may sound until the interior temperature
reaches set point.

Single Bottle Racks
Insert Wine Bottles
Since bottles are not stacked on top of each other, you can
easily view and access your inventory without disturbing
other bottles (see Figure 6).
The wine rack pull-out shelf holds four (4) bottles. See
Figure 4 for typical wine bottle orientation. The wine rack
can be located at the middle or bottom part of the inte-
rior cabinet. For red wines, place wine shelf at bottom
shelf position in the cabinet. Then put a glass shelf in the
next higher position. For white and sparkling wines, put
the wine shelf on the middle shelf position in the cabinet.
Place the remaining shelves as desired (see Figure 5).
Front Bottles (Necks Facing Rear)
Rear Bottles (Necks Facing Front)
Loading Tips and Suggestions
The glass shelves and fixed position wire rack are for
general beverage storage, such as beer and soft drinks.
Opened wine bottles and tall beverage containers may be
stored on the glass shelf closest to the cabinet top. Just lift
the hinged section of the fixed position upper wire rack to
provide clearance for the bottles and/or containers to stand
upright.
Figure 4
You may store magnums and other large bottles on any
of the racks (except for the top rack) by removing the rack
directly above them. Position white wines on the middle or
lower racks and red wines on the upper racks (see Figure
6).
The bottles on the top rack directly under the light will be
exposed to a slightly higher temperature when the light is
on. Position your wines accordingly and REMEMBER TO
TURN OFF THE LIGHT WHEN IT IS NO LONGER NEEDED.
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.

The pull-out wine rack may be pulled out approximately
seven (7) inches to facilitate adding or removing bottles.
Do NOT lean on or press down heavily on the wine shelf.
Doing so may damage the shelf and the wine bottles stored
on it. Pull the wine rack out gently and carefully to mini-
mize unsettling your wine collection. AVOID pulling out
more than one rack at any time to maintain stability.

CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR BEVERAGE CENTER
Do NOT under any circumstance use a light bulb that
exceeds 15 watts!
Condenser
The condenser tubing inside the cabinet does not require
frequent cleaning; however, satisfactory cooling depends
on adequate ventilation over the coils. Be sure that noth-
ing obstructs the required air flow openings in front of the
cabinet. At least once or twice a year, brush or vacuum lint
and dirt from the condenser for efficient performance by
unscrewing the grille on the bottom front of the cabinet.
To replace the light bulb, disconnect power to the unit. Un-
screw the old light bulb located behind the display housing
at the top of the unit. Set the old light bulb aside. Screw
the new light bulb into place. Reconnect the power to the
unit. Check to see if the light bulb operates properly to
complete the installation.
Cabinet
The light bulb is not covered by your warranty. A replace-
ment bulb can be obtained from your dealer or from
Marvel Industries.
The painted cabinet can be washed with mild soap and
water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water. NEVER use
abrasive scouring cleaners.
In the Event of a Power Failure
Interior
If a power failure occurs, try to correct it as soon as pos-
sible. Minimize the number of door openings while the
power is off so as not to adversely affect the unit’s tem-
perature.
Wash interior compartment with mild soap and water. Do
NOT use an abrasive cleaner, solvent, polish cleaner or
undiluted detergent.
Pull-out/Wire Racks
The racks may be cleaned with mild soap and water and a
soft cloth. Do NOT use any abrasive cleaners.
NOTE: If a power interruption occurs, the unit may take 5
to 10 minutes to restart.
Glass Shelves
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water and soft cloth
to clean the glass shelves. Do NOT use any abrasive
cleaners.
Glass Door
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water and soft cloth
to clean the glass door model. Do NOT use any abrasive
cleaners.
Door Gasket
The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and water,
a baking soda solution or a mild scouring powder.
Light Bulb Replacement
WARNING! DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE
ATTEMPTING LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT. Failure to do so
may result in an electrical shock that could severely injure
you.
The 3BARM and 6BARM use one, 15 watt incandescent
light bulb to illuminate the interior of the beverage center.
The light bulb is a very reliable electrical component, but
should it not function properly, please call the dealer where
you purchased your beverage center from for a replace-
ment light bulb. Use only an original equipment light bulb
from your dealer or Marvel Industries.
