Important Safety Information

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS

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.

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

IMPORTANT WARNING

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 doubt exists
as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

DANGER: Risk off child entrapment. Before you throw away your old

wine cooler / refrigerator / freezer etc:

• Take off the doors.

Operating Instructions

CONTROLS OF YOUR
WINE COOLER

To start the wine cooler, turn the temperature control to the position corre­sponding to your desired cooling level. 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:

The temperature of the wine cooler compartment is controlled by adjust­ing/setting the thermostat control knob, located on the exterior rear wall of
the unit. To start the wine cooler and achieve maximumcooling 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.1.

• To turn off the wine cooler, (no cooling) rotate the control knob to the “0”

(off) position. See Fig. 2. Turn the control to the “OFF” (0) position to
temporarily disconnect the cooling cycle. When the wine cooler is not to
be used for long periods of time, disconnect from power and leave the
door partially open.

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

Interior Light:

To manually operate the light, depress the interior light toggle switch situat­ed on the left side of the interior light housing, located on the ceiling inside
the unit; this will allow the interior light to remain on while the door is
closed.

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.
