WARNING
or injury when using your appliance, follow
DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment. Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous . . . even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days”.
Before you throw away your old Wine Chiller: Take off the door. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance.
Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire
hazard or explosion.
Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
Do not repair or replace any part of the wine chiller or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user­repair instructions. Replace the fuse with the same type.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Wine Chiller
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
(1) Vertical Shelf Assembly:
(4) Vertical Bottles / (4) Bottles Horizontal
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installation of Your Wine Chiller
This Wine Chiller is designed to be free standing installation only, and should not be recessed or built-in (Fully recessed).
Place your Wine Chiller on a surface that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the wine chiller, which allows the proper
air circulation to cool the heat sink.
Locate the Wine Chiller away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly.
This Wine Chiller uses thermoelectric refrigeration technology (no compressor) and is not designed for storage in hot areas like garages, warehouses or outdoors since it is designed to operate at a maximum of 30 degrees below the ambient temperature.
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
Plug the Wine Chiller into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized Avanti Products s ervice cen ter .
After plugging the Wine Chiller into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before placing any items in the compartment.

Electrical Connection

Warning
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized Avanti Products service center.
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This appliance requires a standard 115 Volt AC / 60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltag e rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the po wer cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.

Extension Cord

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Lis t ed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 300 volts and at least 10 amperes.

NOTE:
When you use the wine chiller for the first time or restart the wine chiller after having been shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and it is due to the length of the activation time. Once the wine chiller is running for a few hours everything will be back to normal.

about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.

electrical parts.
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
CAUTION Failure to unplug the Wine Chiller could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you m inimize the number of times the door is opened. If the po wer is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your contents.
Moving Your Wine Chiller
Remove all bottles.
Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
Tape the door shut.
Protect outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.
 Energy Saving Tips
The Wine Chiller sh ould be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
One characteristic of thermoelectric units is the l ength of time it req uires to recover fr om having the door opened and shut frequently. It may be necessary to wa it longer for the temper ature to return to its former level once the door has been op ened for too lon g. This is nor mal for this t ype of unit.

INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD
ATENCION
INSTRUCCIONES PARA
LA CONEXION A TIERRA
Este aparato electrodoméstico debe estar conectado a tierra. En caso de un cortocircuito eléctrico, la conexión a tierra reduce el riesgo de choque eléctrico proporcionando un cable a tierra con una enchufe de conexión a tierra. Este enchufe debe estar conectado en un tomacorriente instalado correctamente y conectado a tierra.
ADVERTENCIA – El uso inadecuado del enchufe de conexión a tierra puede resultar en un riesgo de choque eléctrico. Consulte con un electricista o persona de reparaciones competente si no comprenden bien las instrucc iones de conexión a tierra o si existe alguna duda sobre si el aparato esta conectado a tierra correctamente.
NO USE UN CORDON DE
PROLONGACION ELECTRICA
Use un tomacorriente de pared exclusivo. No conecte su vinera a cordones de prolongación eléctrica o junto a cualquier otro electrodoméstico en el mismo tomacorriente de pared.
ADVERTENCIA IMPORTANTE:
Una vinera vacía es una atracción muy peligrosa para los niños. Saque todas las juntas, pestillos, tapas o puerta de todo electrodoméstico que no esté en uso, o tome alguna medida para asegurar que no presente peligro.
INSTRUCCIONES DE INSTALACION
Saque los embalajes exteriores, limpie bien el exterior con un paño suave seco, y el interior con un paño húmedo y tibio. Evite colocar la vinera cerca de una fuente de calor, luz de sol directa, o lugar húmedo.

Ubicación

1. Seleccione un lugar con su piso fuerte y nivelado.
2. Deje cinco pulgadas de espacio entre la parte posterior de la vinera y toda pared conti gua.
3. Las bodegas thermoelectrica necesitan cierto tiempo de recuperación cuando la puerta se abre y se deja abierta por mucho tiempo. Esto es normal para este tipo de unidad.
4. Evite la luz directa del sol o calor. La luz directa del sol puede afectar la capa de acrílico. Las fuentes de calor en su proximidad provocarán un consumo mayor de electricidad.
5. Para un mejor desempeño, nivele la vinera utilizando las patas ajustables o tornillos niveladores.
OPERACION
Para evitar vibraciones, el compartimiento interior deb e estar bien nivelado. La tem peratura variará dependiendo de la cantidad de botellas almacenadas y la frecuencia con que se abre la puerta.
Cuando la vinera no se use por un período largo, desconecte el enchufe y deje la puerta entreabierta.
