amps) with proper grounding. Avoid placing the
unit where there may be electrical interference.
Do not plug unit into the same outlet as a
refrigerator or microwave.
Avoid the use of 3-prong plug adapters. Do not
cut off the grounding prong to accommodate a
two-plug outlet; that could
result in a shock hazard.
NOTE: Do not place heavy objects on top
of the wine cellar.
To minimize the risk of rusting, leakage, and
insulation damage, avoid placing the unit
where heavy moisture is present. Under no
circumstances should you apply or let water
spill onto or into the unit.
SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
This product is comprised of two separate wine
cellars that connect, creating two independent
cooling units in one. There is a left-side unit and a
right-side unit. For your protection, the right-side
unit is equipped with a 3-conductor cord set that
has a molded 3-prong grounding-type plug, and
should be used in combination with a properly
connected grounding-type outlet, as shown in
Figure A. If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter, shown in Figure B, may be
obtained so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used
with a 3-prong plug.
As shown in Figure C, the adapter must be
grounded by attaching its grounding lug under the
screw of the outlet cover plate.
NOTE: Do not remove the grounding prong.
CAUTION: Before using
an adapter,
it must be determined
that the outlet cover plate
screw is properly
grounded. If in doubt,
consult a licensed
electrician. Never use an
adapter unless you are
sure it is properly
grounded.
NOTE: Use of an adapter
is not permitted in
Canada.
DANGER
Risk of child entrapment.
Before you throw away
your old appliance, take off
the doors. Also, leave the shelves in place so that
children may not easily climb inside.

ALWAYS REMOVE ALL WINE BOTTLES
BEFORE MOVING THE WINE CELLAR.
LEVELING YOUR WINE CELLAR
Each wine cellar has 4 leveling legs. After
properly placing your wine cellar in its nal
position, you can level it. (Please note that
the leg that stands on hinges is the shorter
leg.) Leveling legs can be adjusted by
turning them clockwise to raise the wine
cellar, or by turning them counterclockwise
to lower the cellar.
INSTALLATION LIMITATIONS
Do not place heavy objects on top of the
unit. Do not place the unit in a moist area
or in direct sunlight.
Do not place the unit next to a major
appliance that emits large amounts of heat,
such as a dishwasher, microwave, toaster
oven, oven or barbecue, etc.
Do not install your wine cellar in any location
not properly insulated or heated (garage,
etc). Select a suitable location for the wine
cellar on a hard, level and even surface,
away from direct sunlight or heat source,
e.g., radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking
appliances, etc. Any surface unevenness
should be corrected with the leveling legs
located on the front and rear bottom corners
of the wine cellar. Avoid placing unit where
there may be electrical interference.
NOTE: To minimize the risk of rusting,
leakage and insulation damage, avoid
placing the unit where heavy moisture is
present. Under no circumstances spill or
directly apply water onto or into the unit.
PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
To assure that your wine cellar works at the
maximum efciency for which it was designed, you should install it in a location
where there is proper air circulation and
electrical connections.
NOTE: The wine cellar is designed for
CONTROL PANEL FOR EACH UNIT
5
freestanding operation. It is not made to
be recessed or built-in (fully recessed).
To ensure proper internal air circulation, do
not overll your wine cellar.
INSTALLING & MAINTAINING AIR FILTERS
Your wine cellar has removable air lters that
help keep the fans and motors free of dust
and dirt. They are easy to install and remove,
and should be cleaned every 3 months.
To Install:
Align the tabs on the air lter with the slots
on the back of your Wine Cellar. Press the
lter down until the lter retainers attach to
the fan cover.
NOTE: The air lters are used to collect
larger particles from being drawn into the
ventilation fans, which could affect the unit's
performance.
To Clean:
Remove the air lters and wash with warm,
soapy water. Rinse thoroughly, dry completely, and reinstall in the back of the wine
cellar.
INSTALLING THE WATER TRAYS
Each wine cellar contains a water tray. The
purpose of the water tray is to collect the
condensation drained from the interior. The
collected water will evaporate, so there is no
need to remove the water manually.
USING YOUR WINE CELLAR
Place your wine cellar on a at surface that
is strong enough to support it when fully
loaded. Allow at least 2 inches between the
rear of the unit and the wall. Gently place/
slide the racks into the wine cellar. Connect
the two wine cellars as previously mentioned
on page 4-5. Plug the power cord into a
standard electrical outlet and the unit will
turn on automatically to the default setting.
Place bottles inside the unit.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS/CONTROL
Determine the best setting to use: Refer to
the temperature guide for appropriate storing
temperatures (see page 8).
Important Note: In order to operate efciently, thermoelectric products should be in
an environment with an ambient temperature
of not more than 70°F (21°C).
DUAL WINE CELLAR OPERATION
Each wine cellar has its own electronic
temperature control panel on the front. When
initially turned on, the LEDs will show the
default setting of 55°F. You can set the
temperature of each wine cellar at any
setting from 39°F to 68°F. The LEDs will then
display the set temperature.
NOTE: White wine is kept at a lower temperature than red wine. By pressing the Up
or Down temperature button on the display
panel, the wine cellar goes into temperature
adjust mode. You can set the cavity temperature upward or downward by 1-degree
intervals. An audbile beep will be heard for
each degree when the button is pressed.
When the desired temperature is reached,
stop pressing the button. The temperature
display will continue to ash for around 5
seconds, then stop ashing, and the unit will
exit that mode automatically. The display will
show the set cavity temperature. During the
temperature setting, ashing on the display
may be (or may not be) observed. It depends
on the speed the button is pressed. Either
way is normal. Please note that the actual
cabinet temperature inside a thermoelectric
unit is dependent on the outside ambient
temperature. As a result, you may set the
cabinet for a certain temperature, but the
cabinet may not reach that temperature.
For this model, when the ambient temperature is 77˚F, the lowest temperature that can
be reached is 46°F–48˚F. When ambient
temperature is 70˚F, the cabinet temperature
can reach approximately 39°F–41˚F.
INTERIOR LIGHT CONTROL
Your wine cellar has interior lights for your
viewing pleasure. The interior display light
option allows you to showcase your personal
collection of wines. To activate this feature,
press the display light button. This button is
located on the control panel (see page 5).
The interior light will remain on permanently
until the display light button is pressed
again. Under normal operation, it is best for
the light to remain off.
POWER INTERRUPTIONS
Occasionally, there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other causes.

Remove the power cord from the AC outlet
when a power outage occurs. When power
has been restored, replug the power cord
into the AC outlet.
VACATION AND MOVING CARE
For long vacations or absences, unplug the
units, empty contents from each wine cellar,
and clean all door gaskets according to the
instructions in the General Cleaning section.
Prop doors open so air can circulate inside.
When moving, always keep the wine cellar
upright. Do not move the unit lying on its
side.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, always
unplug both wine cellar plugs; the socket
attached to the right-side unit and the wall
socket before cleaning. Ignoring this warning
may result in injury or death.
Caution: Before using cleaning products,
always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions and warnings to avoid personal
injury or product damage.
GENERAL CLEANING

Wine Cellar Set and be ready for any
occasion.
Pairing wine with food has really become a
matter of personal taste – the rules are no
longer hard and fast that white wine is paired
only with sh or light meats, and red wine is
paired only with red meats. A Pinot Noir can
complement a grilled sh just as well as it
complements a grilled llet of beef. What
needs to be kept in mind is the personality of
the wine itself, the preparation of the foods,
and the tastes of those who will be enjoying
them. You may want to open a bottle each of
red and white and allow your guests to
choose.
The wine should please the diner and never
overpower or ght with the food with which
it is served. Likewise, the food should not
overpower or ght with the wine.
Wine is a part of healthy living – the USDA’s
amount guidelines are based upon the
Mediterranean diet. They include wine in
moderation – for women, this is one glass
per day, and for men, two glasses a day.
A glass size is 4 ounces. The difference in
gender amount is based upon body size.
As for cooking with wine – never cook with
a wine that you would not drink!
WINE TIPS AND HINTS
When choosing wine, take advantage of the
knowledge of the personnel in the wine
store, as well as reviews of wines from wine
publications. The price of a wine is not
necessarily indicative of relative quality. Very
good wines can be purchased inexpensively.
