In Home In Home

Remove the exterior and interior packings, wipe the outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a wet, lukewarm cloth. Avoid placing the cabinet in a narrow recess or near any heat source, direct sunlight, or moisture. Let air circulate freely around the cabinet. Keep the rear of the wine cooler 5 inches away from the wall.

Location

1. Select a place with a strong, level floor.

2. Allow 5 inches of space between the back of the wine cooler and any adjacent wall.

3. Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating. Heat sources nearby will cause higher electricity consumption.

To avoid vibration, the cabinet must be set level. To start the wine cooler, turn the temperature control to the position corresponding to the desired cooling. The wine cooler temperature will vary depending on the quantity of bottles stored and on the frequency with which the door is opened.

Setting The Temperature Control:

The temperature of the wine cooler compartment 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

(maximum) setting on the darker blue (wide) 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 2 o’clock position on the graduated blue control dial. See fig.15.

• To turn off the wine cooler, (no cooling) rotate the control knob

to the “0” (off) position. See fig.14

Turn the control to the “OFF” (0) 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.

ATTENTION

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if the doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD

Use an exclusive wall outlet. Do not connect your wine cooler to extension cords or together with any other appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the cord.

IMPORTANT WARNING

An empty wine cooler is a very dangerous attraction to children. Remove either the gasket, latches, lids or doors from unused appliances, or take some other action that will guarantee it harmless.

NOTE: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting if operation has

been interrupted.

Interior Light The operation of the interior light is "manually"

controlled and does not operate with the opening or closing of the door. To operate the light; manually press the light/toggle switch located on the left side of the light bulb housing located on the ceiling of inner cabinet.

Defrosting Your wine cooler is designed with an “Auto-Cycle”

defrost system. What is Auto Cycle defrost?

The refrigerated surfaces of the fresh food compartment defrost automatically, during the “off” cycle of the cold control. (thermostat) Defrost water from the fresh food compartment 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.

Cleaning To clean the inside, use a soft cloth and a solution of

a tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of water, or a mild soap suds solution, or some mild detergent. Wash glide out shelves in a mild detergent solution, then dry and wipe with a soft cloth. Clean the outside with a soft damp cloth and some mild detergent or appliance cleaner.

Vacation Time

For short vacation periods, leave the control knobs at their usual settings. During longer absences,

(a) remove bottles, (b) disconnect from electrical outlet, (c) clean the wine cooler thoroughly, (d) leave door open to avoid possible formations of condensate,

mold or odors.

Power Failure Most power failures are corrected within an

hour or two and will not affect your wine cooler temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. During power failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your wine.

If Y ou Move Remove or securely fasten down all loose items

inside the wine cooler. To avoid damaging the leveling screws, turn them all the way into the base.
