corresponds with your supply voltage.
This product is fitted with a 13A plug complying
with BS1363. If this plug is unsuitable or needs to
be replaced, please note the following:
WARNING:
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
Important: The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN/YELLOW - EARTH
BLUE - NEUTRAL
BROWN - LIVE
This appliance is fitted with a plug fitted with a
13 amp fuse. Should the fuse fail, then it must
be replaced with an ASTA approved fuse
(conforming to BS1362) of the same rating. If
you need to replace the plug or if the plug is of
the incorrect type for your socket, remove it and
replace it with an appropriate type. Dispose of the
old plug safely.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead
of this appliance may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows: The GREEN/YELLOW
wire is the EARTH and must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘E’ or
by the earth symbol or coloured GREEN or
GREEN/YELLOW.
The BLUE wire is the NEUTRAL and must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with

NON-REWIREABLE MAINS PLUG
If your appliance is supplied with a nonrewireable
plug fitted to the mains lead, you will find that
it incorporates a fuse, the value of which is
indicated either on the base of the plug or on the
fuse carrier. Should the fuse need replacing, you
must use an ASTA approved one (conforming to

If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used
until a replacement is obtained from an electrical
supplier.
If you need to remove the plug, cut it from the
mains lead and immediately dispose of it. Never
attempt to re-use this plug or insert it into a
socket outlet as there is a very great risk of an
electric shock.

Installation Instructions
Before Using Your Wine Cooler
• Remove all exterior and interior packing.
• Before connecting the Wine Cooler to
the power source, let it stand upright for
approximately 2 hours. This will reduce
the possibility of a malfunction in the
cooling system caused by handling during
transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water
using a soft cloth.
• The door on this appliance can be opened
from either the left or the right side. The unit
is delivered with the door opening on the left
side. Should you wish to open the door from
the right, follow the instructions ‘Reversing the
door swing of your appliance’.
Installation of Your Wine Cooler
• The appliance is designed to be built in
between kitchen cabinets and is supplied with
adjustable feet that can be altered to fit various
worktop heights. This wine cooler is fully
compatible with any 600mm deep kitchen unit.

strong enough to support it when it is fully
loaded. To level your Wine Cooler, adjust the
front leveling leg at the bottom of the Wine
Cooler.
• Locate the Wine Cooler 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.
• Avoid locating the unit in damp areas.
• Plug the Wine Cooler into an exclusive,
easily accessible plug socket. Any questions
concerning power and/or earthing should be
directed towards a qualified electrician or an
authorised products service centre.

Operating Your
Wine Cooler
The Wine Cooler should be placed in a position
where the ambient temperature is between
0-35°C. If the ambient temperature is above or
below this range, the performance of the unit may
be affected. For example, placing your unit in
extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior
temperatures to fluctuate. The range of 5-18°C
may not be reached.
The Controls of Your Wine Cooler
RUN
Indicator light illuminates to signify the cooling
mode is currently in operation.
Light

Power
To control this appliance turn on/off.
“Set Upper” Button
Used to set temperature in upper zone.
“Set Lower” Button
Used to set temperature in lower zone.
Setting the Temperature Control
The wine cooler has two temperature zones.
• Upper zone – temperature range 5-12°C
• Lower zone – temperature range 12-18°C
• You can set the required temperature in either
zone by pushing the Set Upper or Set Lower
button. When you push the button for the first
time, the LED readout will show the previously
set temperature for that zone (the temperature
preset at the factory is 12°C.
• To set the temperature in the Upper Zone –
Press Set Upper button once. The present
temperature will flash. Scroll through the
temperature settings until you reach the
required setting. The temperature will
decrease by 1°C every time the button
is pressed until minimum temperature is
reached, at which point it will then revert back
to its maximum setting and start again.
• To set the temperature in the Lower Zone –
Press the Set Lower button and follow the
instructions above.
• To view the temperature set in either zone
at any time, press the corresponding “Set
Upper” or “Set Lower” button, the “Set”
temperature will temporarily flash in the LED
display for 5 seconds.
Shelves
• To prevent damaging the door gasket, make
sure the door is fully opened when pulling
shelves out.
• For easy access to the bottles stored, pull
the shelves out. Shelving is designed with
an emergency stop to prevent them being
removed too far when loaded.
Note:
• When you use the Wine Cooler for the
first time or restart the Wine Cooler
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 Cooler is running for a
few hours everything will be back to
normal.
• If the unit is unplugged, power lost,
or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5
minutes before restarting the unit. If
you attempt to restart before this time
delay, the Wine Cooler will not start.

Cleaning Your Wine Cooler
• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and
remove all items including shelves and rack.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water
and baking soda solution. The solution should
be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a
pint of water.

solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth
when cleaning any area of the controls.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water
and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe
dry with a clean soft cloth.
Power Failure
• Most power failures are corrected within a few
hours and should not affect the temperature
of your appliance if you minimize the number
of times the door is opened. If the power is
going to be off for a longer period of time, you
need to take the proper steps to protect your
contents.
Holiday Time
• Short holidays: Leave the Wine Cooler
in operation for holidays of less than three
weeks.
• Long absences: If the appliance will not be
used for several months, remove all items,
turn off the appliance and unplug. Clean and
dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odour
and mold growth, leave the door open slightly:
blocking it open if necessary.
Moving Your Wine Cooler
• Remove all items.
• Securely tape down all loose items (shelves)
inside your appliance.
• Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid
damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the appliance stays secure in the
upright position during transportation. Also
protect outside of appliance with a blanket, or
