 Install the handle on the left side of the door.

INSTALLATION OF THE WINE COOLER

 This appliance is designed to be for free standing installation or built-in (fully recessed).
 Place your wine cooler on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully

loaded. To level your wine cooler, adjust the front levelling legs 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 moist areas.
 Plug the wine cooler into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not

under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified
electrician.

BUILT-IN CABINET INSTRUCTIONS

This unit is designed for either built-in or free standing installation. For free standing
installation,5 inches(127mm) of space between the back and sides of the appliance are
suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. Even
for built-in installation, it is a must to keep a 1/4”(6.35mm) space on each side and the top.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

 WARNING: Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If
the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an authorized service
center.

This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance
is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to
minimize the possibility of electrical shock. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the
third ground prong from the power cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.

This appliance requires a standard 110-120 Volt AC~60Hz electrical ground outlet with
three-prong. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is
your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet. The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to
prevent accidental injury.

The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a
voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best
performance and also prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard

that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not
to damage the power cord.

POWERBAR WITH SURGE PROTECTION (RECOMMENDED)

very susceptible to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.

If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power surges
/ outages; it is suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices /
appliances you use. The surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough
to protect the appliance it is connected to. If you have any questions regarding the type and
size of surge protector needed contact a licensed electrician in your area.

EXTENSION CORD

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended
that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an
extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a VED-Listed, 3-wire grounding type
appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical
rating of the cord be 220-240 volts and at least 10 amperes.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

 The Unit is between 40°F and 65°F(5°C and 18°C).
 When the unit is plugged in for the first time, the unit will power up automatically to the

preset defaults. The preset temperature is 54°F(12°C).

The temperature will increase by 1°C or 1°F if you touch UP once, or the temperature will
decrease by 1°C or 1°F if you touch DOWN once. To view the set temperature at any time,
touch the UP or DOWN marks. The set temperature will temporarily flash in the LED display
for 5 seconds. Then the display shows the current internal temperature.

Note: 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 unit will not start. When
you use the unit for the first time or restart the unit 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 unit is running for a few hours everything will normalize.

STORAGE CAPACITY

Bottles may differ in size and dimensions. The actual number of bottles you are able to store
may vary. You can place 33 standard bottles in the wine cooler. Bottle capacities are
approximate maximums when storing traditional Bordeaux 750 ml bottles.

SHELVES

To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure to have the door completely opened when
pulling the shelves out of the rail compartment. For easy access to the storage content, you
must pull the shelf conservatively out of the rail compartment; however this unit was designed
with a plastic post on each side of the shelf track to prevent bottles from falling. When

11

removing the shelf out of the inner rail, make sure to remove all items first. Then move the
shelf to the position where the notch of the shelf is exactly under the plastic post and lift the
shelf. In order to replace the shelf, repeat these directions in reverse.

Cleaning the Wine Cooler

Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves. Wash the
inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2
tablespoons of baking soda to 1 cup of water.

Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth
when cleaning area of the controls, or any electrical parts.

Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry
with a clean soft cloth. Do not use steel wool or steel brush on the stainless steel. These will
contaminate the stainless steel with steel particles and rusting may occur.

Do not use steel wool or steel brush on the stainless steel. These will contaminate the
stainless steel with steel particles and rusting may occur. Do not connect or disconnect the
electric plug when your hands are wet. Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids.
These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents
or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may damage or discolour the interior.

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.

Moving the Wine Cooler
