PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE WINE CHILLER

Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigeration products 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.

Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigeration Product:

■ Take off the doors.

■ Leave the shelves in place so that children

may not easily climb inside.

CFC Disposal

Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that
used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,
make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you
intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you
can be subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the
United States) or a CSA certified (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord
having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes
(minimum) and 120 volts.

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including
the following:

■ This wine chiller must be properly installed

and located in accordance with these
instructions before it is used.

■ Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang

on the shelves in the wine chiller. They could
damage the wine chiller and seriously injure
themselves.

■ Do not store or use gasoline or other

flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.

■ Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas;

clearances between the doors and between
the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.
Be careful closing doors when children are
in the area.

■ Unplug the wine chiller before cleaning and

making repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.

■ Do not store or install this appliance outdoors.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric shock
hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.

If you have only a standard 2-prong wall outlet,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.

The wine chiller should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has
a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug your wine chiller by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and
pull straight out from the outlet.

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 wine chiller away from the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS

Removing the Packaging

Before using the wine chiller, be sure all packing materials and tape have been removed,
including the protective film covering the control and any film protecting the cabinet.

If you are discarding an old refrigeration product, remove the doors to reduce the danger
of children being trapped inside.

To raise the wine chiller

■ The wine chiller can be freestanding

or can be installed under the counter,
with proper clearances.

■ Allow the following clearances for ease

of installation, proper air circulation
and electrical connections:

Each side 11⁄2″ (38 mm)
Top 2″ (51 mm)
Back 2″ (51 mm)

■ Do not install the wine chiller where

the temperature will go below 55°F
(13°C) or above 90°F (32°C).

■ Install it on a level floor.

■ Do not install the wine chiller where it

will be subject to direct sunlight, heat
or moisture.

■ Do not store or install this appliance

outdoors.

Installation Guidelines

Adjustable legs at the front corners of

the wine chiller should be set so the
wine chiller is firmly positioned on the
floor, with a 1/8″ (3 mm) tilt to the back
to help the door closure.

To adjust the leveling legs, turn the legs
clockwise to raise the wine chiller,
counterclockwise to lower it.

Control Settings

After plugging in the wine chiller and making
your selection (WHITE WINE, RED WINE or
CUSTOM TEMP), allow the wine chiller to reach
the set temperature before loading your wine.
This may take up to 12 hours to completely
stabilize.

After loading the wine, you may notice the
actual temperature rise. The adjustment of
the actual temperature reaching the set
temperature will be reflected in the display.
This may take up to 12 hours to completely
stabilize.

When the Wine Chiller is Plugged In

As with any refrigeration product, there is
a slight temperature variance at different
locations within the cabinet. In this wine
chiller, the lower shelves provide a slightly
cooler temperature than the upper shelves.

When storing both red and white wines,
it is best to store the white wine on the
lower shelves where the temperature is
slightly cooler.

Loading the Wine

Suggested bottle arrangement

The controls give you three setting options.

RED WINE—Use for the storage of red wines.
This setting will provide a storage temperature
of 55°F (13°C), which is optimum for the
storage of red wine.

WHITE WINE—Use for the storage of white
wines. This setting will provide a storage
temperature of 45°F (7°C), which is optimum
for the storage of white wine.

CUSTOM TEMP—This setting allows you to
customize the temperature when storing both
red and white wines. The custom temperature
can be set anywhere between 40° to 65°F
(4° to 18°C). The recommended temperature
when storing half red wine and half white
wine is 50°F (10°C).

Press the CUSTOM TEMP pad. This will convert
the RED WINE and WHITE WINE pads into temp
up and temp down pads. Short taps to these pads
will change the temperature setting slowly. To
change the temperature setting more quickly,
press and hold the pad.

When you make your selection (WHITE WINE,
RED WINE or CUSTOM TEMP) you will see the set
temperature show up in the display. However,
shortly after the selection has been made, the
display will show the actual temperature of the
wine chiller. You will then see the temperature
in the display change as the actual temperature
of the wine chiller reaches the set temperature.

NOTE: In the event of a power failure, when the
power is restored, the controls automatically are
set to the RED WINE setting. If needed, reset the
controls to the desired setting.
