First Time Operating Instructions
Before use, make sure all packaging labels and materials are all removed from

packaging materials. It is advised that you keep the original box and packaging
materials in case you are ever to move or ship the appliance in the future.
Let the unit stand for at least 24 hours before you use it; this allows the cooling

Installing the Wine refrigerator
The wine refrigerator should be installed in accordance with local
electrical code requirements. The wine refrigerator should also be placed
in a location that is strong enough to support its total weight, keeping in
mind that it will weigh substantially more when fully loaded than when
empty.
Before you plug the wine refrigerator into a power supply, be sure to let it
stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor's oils to settle.
Unpacking the Wine refrigerator
WARNING: Use two more people to move and install the wine
refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. Carefully
remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and glue
from your wine refrigerator before using. Do not use sharp instruments,
rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or
glue. These products can damage the surface of your wine refrigerator.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove any safety, warning, or product information
labels from your wine refrigerator.
Types of Installation
This wine refrigerator has been designed for free-standing, or built-in
installation. In every case, there must be adequate ventilation and access
for service.
Free-standing installation:
A free-standing installation will allow you to install the wine refrigerator in
almost any place you desire. You must follow the stated instructions for
electrical requirements, and leveling the wine refrigerator.
Built-in installation:
A recessed installation will allow you to install the wine cooler under a
counter or in a kitchen cabinet provided the required clearance space

following additional items must be observed.
1. Place the wine refrigerator in front of the installation location. Adjust
the feet and place the unit flat on the floor or on a platform depending
on your installation requirements.
