BEFORE USING YOUR WINE COOLER

Remove the exterior and interior packing. Before connecting this appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2

hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during

transportation. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

INSTALLATION OF YOUR 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 leveling 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. Because of these factors this unit is not designed for use in a garage or any other

outside installation. 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 or an

authorized service center. This unit is not designed to be installed in a motor home or used with

an inverter. After plugging the appliance into an outlet, the unit should be allowed to cool for 3 ~ 4 hours

before placing bottles in the appliance to ensure it reaches an appropriate, stable temperature.

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 an authorized service agent.

when installed as a built-in appliance. If installing between frameless cabinets, a ½” wide filler strip or side panel may be needed on the side with the hinge. This strip will act as a spacer between the appliance case and adjacent cabinet door. The width of the opening must include the filter panels. Note: The door should protrude at least 1” beyond the surrounding cabinets. The clearance is: 2”.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

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 115/120 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 from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords 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.

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 UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

SURGE PROTECTOR

Like the majority of electronics, you could need a surge protector (power bar). When there are variations in electricity, the wine cooler shuts off in order to protect itself. To avoid damaging the electronics components, you can connect a surge protector (power bar).

OPERATING YOUR WINE COOLER

It is recommended you install the wine cooler in a place where the ambient temperature is between 19ºC-24ºC (66ºF-75ºF). If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate. The range of 4ºC-20ºC (39ºF-68ºF) may not be reached.

RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURE SETTINGS

Red Wine: 15℃-- 18℃ / 58°F -- 65°F

White Wine: 9°C -- 14°C / 48°F -- 57°F Rose Wine: 10°C -- 11°C / 49°F -- 51°F

Sparkling Wine: 5℃-- 8℃ / 40°F -- 47°F

ON/OFF POWER

To turn ON/OFF the appliance, push and hold the button for 3 seconds.

CONTROL PANEL LOCK

Your wine cooler is equipped with an automatic control panel lock function. This function will prevent any unwanted changes to your temperature or power settings. The lock function will activate automatically 12 seconds after the last time a button is pushed on the control panel.

To unlock the control panel lock, press and hold both the buttons for 3 seconds, the control panel will beep and blink once indicating that the control panel is active and the settings can be changed. You must unlock the control panel every time you want to set the temperature, change the display setting (°F - °C) turn on or off the light and to power off the cooler.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL

You can select temperature display setting from Fahrenheit to Celsius degree by touching the button. Fahrenheit or Celsius degrees indicator will appear in the temperature display window.

If you desire to change the temperature, set the temperature as you desire by touching the or button. The temperature that you desire to set will increase 1ºF or 1ºC if you touch the button once; on the contrary the temperature will decrease 1ºF or 1ºC if you touch the button once.

NOTE: If the unit is unplugged, if the power is 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 wine cooler will not start.

When you use the wine cooler for the first time or restart the wine cooler 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 wine cooler is running for a few hours everything will be back to normal.

INTERIOR LIGHT

To turn the interior light ON or OFF, unlock the control panel then press the button. The light will be turned off automatically if it remains ON for 10 minutes. To turn it on again, unlock the panel then

press the button again and the light will turn back on.

STORAGE

Figure A

Figure B

Many bottles may differ in size and dimensions. As such the actual number of bottles you may be able to store may vary. You can place 44 standard bottles in this wine cooler. The upper zone can hold as many as 16 wine bottles (2 rows of 8 bottles) and the lower zone can hold as many as 28 wine bottles (2 rows x 8 bottles, plus 1 row x 12 bottles (6+6 stacked up)).

SHELVES

To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure to have the door all the way opened (beyond 90 degrees) when pulling shelves out of the rail compartment. For easy access to the bottles, you must pull the shelves approximately 1/3 out of the rail compartment.

To remove the shelves out of the rail pull each shelf approximately 1/3 out. Use a long flat screwdriver to press down the right plastic notch as shown in Figure A and at the same time lift the left plastic notch as shown in Figure B. Then proceed to pull out the shelf slowly.

To replace a shelve place the sides of the shelves back onto the supporting guides of the cabinet and push back until the shelf tabs slide into place. NOTE: ENSURE THAT THE TABS ARE FIRMLY LOCKED IN PLACE BEFORE STORING ANY BOTTLES.

CHARCOAL FILTRATION SYSTEM

Your wine is a living object that breathes through the cork of its bottle. In order to preserve the quality and taste of your fine wines, they must be stored at the ideal temperature and ambient conditions.

Your cooler is equipped with an active charcoal filtration system to ensure air purity, cooling efficiency, and to maintain an odor free cabinet for the storage of your wines. The filter assembly is located at the rear panel inside your cooler. Keep in mind, that this filter must be changed every 12 months.

Remove the bottles of wine stored on the two (2) shelves in front of the filter. Remove the shelves and set aside to be replaced once you have changed the filter. Hold the filter and turn it at 45 degrees in the counter-clockwise direction and then pull it out. Remove the existing filter and replace with a new one. Put the new filter into the hole and then turn the filter at 45 degrees in clockwise direction.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

DEFROST

Any ice build-up on the inner back wall during compressor operation will be automatically defrosted in a compressor off cycle. When defrosting is in process, only the circulation fans for both zones run. Defrost water will drain into the drip pan (on the compressor), and the water will be evaporated by the compressor.

CLEANING YOUR 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 a quart 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.

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 YOUR WINE COOLER

Remove all items (bottles). Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance. Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage. Tape the door shut. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect

outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

The Wine Cooler should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
