IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Electrical Information

• The beverage cooler must be plugged into

its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15
Amp, AC only electrical outlet. The power

cord of the appliance is equipped with a three­prong grounding plug for your protection against
electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged
directly into a properly grounded three prong
receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in
accordance with local codes and ordinances.
Consult a qualified electrician. Avoid connecting
refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI)
circuit. Do not use an extension cord or

adapter plug.

If the power cord is damaged, it should be •

replaced by an authorized service technician to
prevent any risk.

Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the •

power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and

pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent
damaging the power cord.

Unplug the appliance before cleaning and before •

replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

Performance may be affected if the voltage •

varies by 10% or more. Operating the unit with

insufficient power can damage the compressor.

Such damage is not covered under your warranty.

Do not plug the appliance into an electrical outlet •

controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent
the appliance from being turned off accidentally.

WARNING

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 appliance 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.

WARNING

Proper Disposal of your Beverage Cooler

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still
dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If
you are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow
the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/
disposal methods. Check with your utility company or
visit www.recyclemyoldfridge.com for more information
on recycling your old appliance.

Before you throw away your old beverage
cooler:

Remove doors.•
Leave shelves in place so children may not easily •

climb inside.

Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service •

technician.

INSTALLATION

This Use & Care Guide provides general operating
instructions for your model. Use the appliance only as
instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the

appliance, follow these important first steps.

Location

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 appliance 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 appliance stays in the upright position •
during transport.

Keep the appliance from any hazardous or •
combustible agents.

NOTE

Í

The exterior walls of the beverage 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
appliance.

Cleaning

Wash any removable parts of the beverage 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.

Handle Installation

Place handle over the two mounting studs located at 1.
top of door.

Use hex head screw driver or Allen wrench to tighten 2.
set screws from bottom to secure handle to door.

Mounting stud

Locate handle

Leveling

The beverage cooler must have all bottom corners resting

firmly on solid floor. The floor must be strong enough

to support a fully loaded beverage cooler. NOTE: It is
Very Important for your appliance to be level in order to
function properly. If the appliance is not leveled during
installation, the door may be misaligned and not close
or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture
problems.

To Level Your Beverage Cooler:

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

when left halfway open.
