A Quick History of the type of
Refrigeration used in your
Wine Cooler...
In 1834, the French physicist Peltier discovered a very
intriguing phenomenon. When direct current goes through
different metals that are connected, one joint will produce
heat while the other will become cold at the same time.
Peltier’s discovery meant that he had found the
semiconductor (endothermic joint and exothermal joint
system). Whether the conductor joint is endothermic or
exothermal depends on the direction in which current flows
through the conductor.
This has become known as the ‘Peltier Effect’.
Semiconductor refrigeration is based on a
thermoelectric device that includes the different ‘P’ shape
and ‘N’ shape semiconductor materials placed in a certain
way. When direct current goes through, one end releases
heat while the other absorbs heat. Once the heat produced
at the exothermal joint is released, the temperature of the
endothermic joint decreases radically, resulting in cryogenic
refrigeration.
As the development and application of semiconductor
refrigeration technology develop further, it’s inevitable that
it will cause a revolution in the refrigeration industry,
radically changing the traditional monopoly of compression
refrigeration …
… This is especially important in protecting the
environment.

Tips on
Setting up
your Wine
Cooler
o Do not place the wine cooler
under direct sunlight, or in a
hot (i.e. - above 25°C) area or
in a humid place (frost will
form). Likewise, keep it out of
an area that will get very cold
as very cold conditions will
keep your Wine Cooler from
storing your wine at the
temperature you want.
~
o Make sure your wine cooler is
resting on a flat surface so that
there is no risk of bottles being
able to tip forward. Note that
your Wine Cooler has
adjustable feet so you can
adapt your Wine Cooler to your
floor surface. Turning the feet
clockwise will raise the height
of the unit. Turning them
anticlockwise will lower the

foam on the door panels.
Remember that children are
particularly vulnerable to
packaging materials and old
appliances – discard materials
with this in mind.

around it to function properly.
It is very important that you
give it at least 10cm between
the back and any surface
behind it as well as 5cm
between the sides and any
surfaces around them. This is
necessary so that your Wine
Cooler has adequate space for
ventilation.

Using your
Wine
Cooler :
1) Connecting
First, connect the
power.
Find a suitable power
outlet and make sure
that your voltage is
the same as what is
shown on your Wine
2) Power
3) Adjusting the Temperature.
Cooler’s rating label.
When you connect the
power, your Wine
Cooler will start
working.
To turn the interior
light on, press the
switch on the top
right hand corner just
inside your Wine
Cooler’s door.
You can adjust the
interior temperature
of your Wine Cooler by
using the temperature
adjustor on the upper
side of the inside
cabinet. ‘High’
increases the
temperature; ‘Low’
reduces it.
Interior temperature
adjustment ranges
from 10-18°C (50 –
64.4°F), although
colder temperatures
can be achieved on
the lower shelves
(about 8°C). When the
interior temperature
reaches the pre-set
temperature, it will be
kept at that. There is
no thermostat as the
semiconductor system
maintains itself. The
extractor fan
withdraws air and recirculates it through
the main fan below it.
4) Cooling Speed.
The interior
temperature of your
Wine Cooler can reach
15°C (59°F) in about
one hour.
5) Remember the character
of your wine choice.
It’s good to keep your red
wines on the higher racks, and
white, rosé, sparkling wines
and champagne on the lower
racks.
6) Storing your Wines
After 1-2 hours of
working, the inside
cabinet will be
properly cooled,
allowing you to
store your wines.
Please allow your Wine
Cooler this time to
cool before storing
your wines.
