CAUTION :

The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Installation

Make sure that the voltage marked on the rating label on the product corresponds with the
voltage in your home.
The appliance is designed to operate at normal room temperatures. Position it away from any
heat source such as a boiler, ovens and heaters which will reduce the cooling efficiency of the
chiller. It is also not advisable to install the appliance in unheated locations such as garages or
outbuildings, as these will impair the operation of the chiller in winter.

The chiller requires space around the casing for efficient cooling and operation. It is
designed for freestanding and not to be built-in.
The chiller must be installed on a firm, flat and level surface for it to work quietly and
efficiently. If necessary, turn the adjustable foot to level the appliance .
Plug the chiller into a nearby power socket and switch on. A humming from the compressor
will indicate that the chiller is running.

Electrical Connections

Your wine cooler requires a grounded outlet. It is not recommended that the ground be
bypassed to allow the unit to be plugged into a two-prong outlet. Use 3 pin plug only. Your
wine cooler power rating is 220-240Volts. 50HZ.

Please only allow trained qualified personnel to work on your wine cooler.

Temperature Setting

Your wine cooler is factory set to provide your investment with an optimum environment for
storage and longevity.
Control Settting:
Temperature Range: MAX: about 7℃-10℃

NORMAL: about 11℃-15℃
MIN: about 16℃-18℃

Your wine cooler should be plugged in and allowed to run for 24 hours before making
any temperature adjustments.
Wine stored in your wine cooler will be at temperature after 10 hours of storage.

Note: Wine is alive. As such it reacts either positively or negatively to its environment. How
it is treated will determine how fat or slow it will age and how it will turn out in the end.
Essentially. Wine needs to be kept in a clean, dark place with good ventilation, where it can
be stored vibration free at a constant temperature. Temperature is the most important factor

and the factor that should be sought after above all others. The optimum temperature is 10℃­12℃.However, any constant temperature of within 5℃-18℃ will do. More important than the

actual temperature you will be able to achieve, is the degree and rapidity of temperature
fluctuation the wine is subjected to. A slow change of temperature of ten or so degrees
between winter and summer is not a problem. But this kind of fluctuation on a daily or weekly
basis will cause damage to your wines and age them prematurely. You will notice damage of
this nature from the sticky deposit that often forms around the capsule. In time, as the wine
expands and contracts, it will damage the integrity of the cork. When this happens, minute
