Interior Light and Switch
The interior light makes it easy to view your wine labels and enhances the
display of your collection. When the switch is in the OFF position, the light
comes on only when the door is opened.
Pull-Out Racks
The bottom five racks pull out so bottles can be more
easily added or removed.

USING YOUR WINE CHILLER
Remove Packaging
Before using, be sure all packing materials and tape
have been removed. There is a shipping bracket below
the handle. Remove the bracket and replace the three
screws with the white plug buttons.
If you are discarding an old refrigerator, remove the
doors to reduce the danger of children being trapped
inside.
Set the Control
The temperature range of the wine chiller is from the
low forties to the mid sixties. The middle range is
approximately 55°F.
As with any refrigeration product, there is a slight
temperature variance at different locations within
the cabinet.
The coolest bottles will be in the rear of the four
middle shelves.
The bottles on the top two shelves will be 3°F. to
7°F. warmer. This is the warmest location.
The bottles in the front of the middle four shelves
will be 1°F. to 4°F. warmer than those at the rear of
the shelves.
Position your wine inventory accordingly (i.e. white
wines in the cooler zones and red in the warmer
zones).
To set the control, turn
it to the middle thermostat
setting. Once the bottles are
loaded, allow at least
48 hours before making
any adjustments to the
initial setting.

Insert Wine Bottles
The top two racks each hold six bottles, two deep with
the necks alternating front to back.
The middle four racks each hold eight bottles, two
deep with necks alternating front to back.
The bottom rack holds six bottles and is loaded with
necks facing the rear. Tall bottles should not be loaded
on the bottom rack because they may prevent the door
from closing.
LOADING TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
• The bottom rack may be removed for storing
“jug” wines.
• You may store magnums and other large bottles
on the upper right and left positions or on any of
the middle racks by removing the rack directly
above them.
• The bottles on the top rack, directly under the light,
will be exposed to a slightly higher temperature
when the light is on. Position your wines
accordingly and remember to turn off the light when
it is no longer needed.
• Keep wines that you plan to use for everyday
drinking and entertaining on the front half of the
racks where labels are completely visible. Place
wines for aging or longer term storage in the rear.
• Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on
the wine chiller shelves. They could seriously injure
themselves and possibly cause damage to the wine
chiller.

CARE AND CLEANING
Unplug the wine chiller before cleaning.
Interior Glass Door
Wash the inside with mild soap and water or baking
soda and water.
Do not use an abrasive powder, solvent, polish cleaner
or undiluted detergent.
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water and a soft
cloth to clean the glass door. Do not use any abrasive
powders.
Door Gasket Light Bulb Replacement
The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and
water, a baking soda solution or a mild scouring
powder. Rinse well.
Unplug the wine chiller before replacing the light
bulb.
The light shield is held in place by three screws.
Remove the screws and light shield to remove the
light bulb. Replace with the same type bulb—a
15-watt, intermediate base bulb.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If the power fails, open the door as infrequently as
possible to maintain the temperature. A gradual rise
in temperature should not have any adverse effect
on the wine.
If it is extremely hot, you may want to move the
wine to the coolest location you can find until power
is restored.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
Condenser Cabinet
Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air flow
openings in the front of the cabinet.
For best performance, brush or vacuum lint and dirt
from the condenser once a year. Unscrew the grille
on the bottom front of the cabinet to access the
condenser.
The painted cabinet can be washed with mild soap
and water. Rinse thoroughly with clear water. Never
use abrasive scouring powders.

INSTALLA TION REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT…PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
How to Connect Electricity
For personal safety,
this appliance must be
properly grounded.
To reduce the possibility
of electric shock, the
power cord is equipped
with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which
mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding)
wall outlet.
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 two-prong wall outlet, it is
your personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall
outlet.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
Use of Extension Cords Electrical Requirements/Power 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, 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.
• 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 the wine chiller by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
• Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become frayed or damaged. Do not use a cord
that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its
length or at either end.
• When moving the wine chiller, be careful not to
damage the power cord.
Insure proper ground
exists before using.
Use of Adapter Plug
Because of
potential safety
hazards under
certain conditions,
we strongly
recommend against
use of an adapter
plug. However, if
you must use an
adapter, where local
codes permit, a
TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded
2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter
available at most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the
larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord.
Use of an adapter plug will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the wine cooler.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a
wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance
unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and
the wall outlet is grounded through the house wiring.
You should have the circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one
hand while pulling the power cord plug with the other
hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal
is very likely to break with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground terminal break, DO
NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has
again been established.
Temporary Method
(Adapter plugs not
permitted in Canada.)
Align large prongs/slots.
Insure proper grounding
and firm connection exist
before use.

Before it is used, the wine chiller must be properly
installed and located as described in this manual.
