IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
THIS WINE COOLER.

be plugged directly into a properly grounded three­prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in
accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a
qualified electrician. Do not use an extension cord or

adapter plug.

• If voltage varies by 10% or more, performance of your
wine cooler may be affected. Operating wine cooler with
insufficient power can damage the compressor.

• To prevent the wine cooler from being turned off
accidentically, do not plug unit into an outlet controlled
by a wall switch or pull cord.

• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the cord in any manner.

OTHER PRECAUTIONS

• Never unplug the wine cooler by pulling on the cord.
Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from
the receptacle.

• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the wine cooler before
cleaning and before replacing a light bulb.

NOTE: Turning the temperature control to OFF turns off
the compressor, but does not disconnect the power to
the light bulb or other electrical components.

• Do not operate wine cooler in the presence of explosive
fumes.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read
product labels for flammability and other warnings.

CHILD SAFETY

• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping
material immediately after the wine cooler is unpacked.
Children should never use these items to play. Cartons
covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or
stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can
quickly cause suffocation.

• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause
severe cuts, and destroy finishes if they come in
contact with other appliances or furniture.

• An empty, discarded ice box, refrigerator, or freezer is a
very dangerous attraction to children.

Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in use,
even if it is being discarded.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety
mechanisms in the design of this wine cooler will
operate properly.

Proper Disposal of Your Wine Cooler

Risk of child entrapment. Child entrapment

and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned Wine Coolers are still dangerous — even if they
will sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of your old
wine cooler, please follow the instructions below to help
prevent accidents.

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD
WINE COOLER:

• Remove doors.

• Leave shelves in place so children may not

easily climb inside.

Avoid fire hazard or
electric shock. Do
not use an
extension cord or an
adapter plug. Do not
remove any prong
from the power cord.

• Wine Cooler must be plugged into its own 115 Volt,
60 Hz., AC only electric outlet. The power cord of the
appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding
plug for your protection against shock hazards. It must

FIRST STEPS

This Owner’s Guide provides specific operating instructions
for your model. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this
Owner’s Guide. Before starting the wine cooler, follow

these important first steps.

INSTALLATION

• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.
Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

• For optimal performance, it is recommended that you
install the wine cooler where the ambient temperature is
between 70 and 78 degrees fahrenheit.

•

Allow space around the unit for good air circulation.

Leave a 2 inch space on the back and sides of the
wine cooler for adequate circulation.

• Be sure the wine cooler stays in the upright position
during transport.

• Keep the wine cooler from any hazardous or combustible
agents.

NOTE: The exterior walls of the wine cooler may become
quite warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from
the inside. Temperatures as much as 30° F warmer than
room temperature can be expected. For this reason it is
particularly important in hotter climates to allow enough
space for air circulation around your wine cooler.

LEVELING

The wine cooler must have all bottom corners resting firmly
on solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a
fully loaded wine cooler. NOTE: It is Very Important for
your wine cooler to be level in order to function properly. If
the wine cooler is not leveled during installation, the door
may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing
cooling, frost, or moisture problems.

REVERSING THE DOOR SWING

The wine cooler glass door can be opened from left to right
and vice versa. Should you desire to change the opening
direction, please follow these instructions.

NOTE: All parts removed must be saved to do the
reinstallation of the door.

1. Remove the two screws (1) that hold the lower hinge
(2)(right side) to the frame. Also remove the screw-type
leveling front leg (3).

2. Remove the left front leg (4) and transfer it to the right
side.

3. Lift the door and place it on a padded surface to prevent
scratching it. Make sure to remove the spring (5) located
inside the upper right hole of the door, and the upper right
side pin (6).

4. Remove the plug button (7) from the upper left hole of
the door and transfer it to the uncovered hole on the right
side. Be sure to press the button firmly into the hole.

5. Insert the upper pin (6), previously removed from the
right side in step 3, and transfer it to the hole on the left
side of the top frame.

6. Insert the spring (5), previously removed from step
3,inside the upper left side hole of the door.

7. Set the door in its place making sure the pin (6) enters
the bushing at the lower upper frame section (hole).

8. While holding the door in the closed position, secure the
left hinge (2) previously removed in step 1.

9. Insert the 2 screws (1) previously removed in step 1 and
tighten them.

To Level Your Wine Cooler:

After removing all interior and exterior packaging materials,
use a carpenter’s level to level the wine cooler from front-to­back. Adjust the leveling legs in front, ½ bubble higher, so
that the door closes easily when left halfway open.

CLEANING

• Wash any removable parts of the wine cooler interior,
and exterior with mild detergent and warm water. Wipe
dry. Do not use harsh cleaners on these surfaces.

• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments,
which can scratch the appliance surface when removing
adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be
removed with a mixture of warm water and mild deter­gent, or touch the residue with the sticky side of tape
already removed. Do not remove the serial plate.

Important Safeguards: Do not store food in your wine
cooler as interior temperature may not get cool enough to
prevent spoilage. In summer months or areas of high
humidity, the glass door may build up moisture. To
remove the moisture, wipe it away.
