Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2- prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3- prong wall outlet.

For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance.

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

OPERATION

The Controls of your

Wine Cooler

Setting The Temperature Control:

The temperature of the Wine Cooler is controlled by adjusting/setting the thermostat control knob, located on the exterior rear wall of the cabinet.

To start the Wine Cooler and achieve maximum cooling quickly;

Turn the temperature control knob clockwise to the furthest ‘Max’ (maximum) setting on the wider blue section of the graduated control dial.

Allow the unit to run at this setting for 3-4 hours.

When maximum cooling is achieved, turn back the temperature control knob setting to the 10 o’clock position on the graduated blue control dial. See fig.B.

To turn off the Wine Cooler, (no cooling) rotate the control knob to the “O” (off) position. See fig.A

NOTE

Wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting if operation has been interrupted.

Turn the control to the “O” (off) position to temporarily disconnect the cooling cycle. When the Wine Cooler is not to be used for a long period of time, disconnect the plug and leave the door partially open.

Defrosting:

Your Wine Cooler is designed with an “AutoCycle” defrost system. What is Auto Cycle defrost?

The refrigerated surfaces defrost automatically during the “off” cycle of the cold control. (thermostat) Defrost water is disposed of automatically, by means of being channeled onto a drip tray located on the compressor. Heat transfer from the compressor causes the defrost water to evaporate.

Moving &

Vacations

1.Remove all bottles.

2.Disconnect from electrical outlet.

3.Clean the Wine Cooler thoroughly.
