Advanced Temperature Controls
- Temperature is electronically controlled at 22°F set point, a high performance level to maintain product at the lowest possible temperature.
- Sophisticated electronic controller regulates all cooler operating functions automatically.
- Large 1.2 ” digital temperature display on exterior of the merchandiser shows actual product temperature.
- High capacity refrigeration system designed for very fast product temperature pull down.
- Extra-thick 2” CFC-free foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation for the best operating performance and maximum energy efficiency.
- Heavy-duty triple pane Low-E tempered glass door provides maximum insulation.
- The ARV-570 is designed as a high ambient model and features heated glass doors to prevent condensation on glass in almost any environmental condition. Door heat intensity is variable according to conditions.
- Battery back up keeps all electronic settings up to one week in the event of a power loss.
Design Enhancements
- Highest durability epoxy powder coated painted interior, and heavy gauge galvanized steel exterior construction provides strongest protection against corrosion.
- Extra heavy-duty powder coated gravity slide shelves hold the maximum loads and resists scratching and corrosion. These shelves are specifically engineered for 16oz. Anheuser Busch aluminum bottles.
- Heavy Duty lockable casters permit easy cleaning under the unit.
- Integrated bottle-cap opener with catch tray.
- Interior vertical fluorescent light with light switch for high impact product visibility.
- Units are easy to service and clean. Routine cleaning completed without using tools.
- Door Lock integrated into door frame.
- Separate light switch on exterior illuminated display panel.
- Auxillary standard NEMA 15 amp (limited to 3 amps) plug provided at top rear to allow for retail placement of lighted signs or optional Anheuser Busch graphic materials.
How to Load the Beer
- Add the maximum quantity allowed of plastic bottles
- Load the product at night so that it can pull down to temperature overnight
- Sell through all the beer in the Chill Chamber before reloading
Operating Tips
- The unit should be allowed to stand in place for 30 minutes once located in place, before it is plugged in.
- Once the unit is running, the real time clock should be set. Please consult the owner’s manual for instructions on setting the clock on the electronic controller.
- In the event of power loss, the real time clock will keep its settings for up to one week once the battery is fully charged. The real time clock battery is rechargeable.
- The unit should run for 30 minutes empty before any product is loaded inside.
- The unit must go into defrost mode twice a day to maintain optimal performance. During defrost, the temperature display may move up 2-3°F. Avoid opening the door during the defrost cycle.
- In the event unit is placed in a non-air conditioned or high ambient humidity location, additional defrost cycles may be required to prevent the rear refrigeration coil from blocking with ice. Consult the owner’s manual or installation instructions for additional information.
- Very heavy door openings will have an eventual impact on the product temperatures, so it is best to avoid standing in front of the open door while deciding product selection, counting inventory, etc.
- The large LED display above the door simulates the actual temperature of the beer in the cooler, not the air temperature in the unit. Therefore, it will change in temperature more slowly as the unit cools down or warms up.

The Safe-NET is an electronic controller that regulates the cooling system. It is located below the door behind the front grill on the ARV models and at the back of the MAXI-140 model.
Before Safe-NET can operate correctly, it is necessary to set its internal clock. This will allow it to regulate the system for defrost at convenient times of the day around your location’s schedule – when you are not at the busiest serving times.
The Chill Chamber comes preset from the factory with two defrosts per day. In most situations this will be enough defrosts unless the unit is operated in non-air conditioned environments or high humidity locations. If you require additional defrosts per day, please consult the owner’s manual.
SETTING THE CLOCK:
- Remove the bottom front grill. Screws are located on the sides of the grill. Do this before plugging in your Chill Chamber.
- Remove the Safe-NET plastic cover plate by using a thin bladed screwdriver to pop-off the oval cover

- Below the cover you will see three buttons. You will use these buttons to set the clock.

- Plug in your Chill Chamber. Caution: Moving Parts are located in the compressor compartment behind the bottom front grill
- When you plug in the Chill Chamber, you will see the Safe-NET display scroll the words “Safe-NET.” If you do not see these words scroll across the display, please refer to the troubleshooting guide in the owner’s manual.
- Press the UP and DOWN buttons at the same time to get back to the main menu.
- Press the SELECT button until you see ‘Cloc’

- Press UP once, then DOWN once, and then SELECT again
- The minutes should be flashing. Safe-NET uses military time (24:00 hours). Use the UP and DOWN buttons to set the minutes and then press SELECT.
- Now the hours should be flashing. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to set the correct hours.
- Press SELECT and the clock has been set
- Replace the Display cover

(Important Note: The clock will have to be manually adjusted for Daylight Saving Time as it will not automatically change. However, if you can live with your defrost starting an hour earlier or later, resetting this is not critical.)
