Levelling feet can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your cooler or anti-clockwise to lower. The cooler door will close easier when the feet are extended.
Proper Air Circulation
To ensure your cooler works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, you should site it in a location where there is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.

Cooler Features and Use
Initial Setup

Temperature Adjustments

There will be a three degree deviation +/- from the temperature you select and the temperature indicated on the LED readout. This occurs because the cooler activates and deactivates trying to maintain your desired temperature. There is often a ten degree deviation between the top and bottom shelves of the cooler, therefore, if you have set the cooler at 10˚c and have a mix of red and white wines, you may want to put the white wine on the bottom shelf where the temperature will be 7˚c and red wine on the top shelf which will be 13˚c.
Shelving
The shelves are painted for appearance and easy cleaning. To accommodate different sized bottles the shelves slide out and can be moved up or down into any of the tracks moulded into the cabinet. This allows free air movement and provides more space.
Interior light
To complement the look of your stock, a soft light has been built into the bottle cooler. Simply turn the switch button and the light comes on, turn it back and the light goes off. For maximum energy efficiency, leave the light off when not displaying your stock.
Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear
Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibration is due to the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils
The Thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.

Proper Cooler Care and Cleaning
Cleaning and Maintenance
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, always unplug your cooler
before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury
CAUTION: Before using cleaning agents, always read and follow
manufacturers instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage
General
Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth, dampened with cleaning solution to wipe down your cooler
Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth
Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine
bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. SOME of these chemicals may damage and/or discolour your cooler.
Door Gaskets
Clean Door gaskets every three months according to general instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable to ensure a proper seal.
Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and assure a good seal.
Power Interruptions
Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the power cord from the socket when a power cut occurs. Once power has been restored, you may plug it in again.
Holidays and Moving Care
For extended periods of time where the cooler is not in use, unplug and clean the cooler following the ‘General Cleaning’ instructions. Leave the door open so air can circulate inside. When moving, always move the cooler vertically. Do not move the unit lying down, possible damage to the sealed system may occur.

take the top right hole in the door into the right hand hinge axle
Adjust the door, make it straight and aligned with the cabinet
Fix the lower hinge with 2 screws

Notes: As the door gasket gets pressed in during shipping, after reversing the door, the gasket may have to be reset. This will be good for the seal to avoid any air escaping. If there is a gap between the door gasket and the cabinet, set the gasket by gently pulling it out to seal the gap. It is recommended to use a warm hair drier to warm the gasket and get rid of the gap.
