IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
WARNING 
EXPLOSION HAZARD Flammable Refrigerant
This appliance contains isobutane refrigerant, R600a, a natural gas with high environmental compatibility. However, it is also combustible. Adhere to the warnings below to reduce the risk of injury or property damage.
When handling, installing and operating the appliance, care should be taken to avoid damage to the refrigerant tubing.
Service shall only be performed by authorized service personnel. Use only manufacturer-authorized service parts.
Dispose of appliance in accordance with Federal and local regulations. Flammable refrigerant and insulation material used require special disposal procedures. Contact your local authorities for the environmentally safe disposal of your appliance.
Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosures or in the built-in structure clear of obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process.
Do not damage refrigerant circuit.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartment of the appliance.
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..
DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
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..
2
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..
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
Adapter plugs are not permitted in Canada.
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 CSA certified, 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 .
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Care and cleaning.
Cleaning the Outside
IMPORTANT: Unplug the wine chiller before cleaning.
Keep the outside clean. The cabinet can be washed with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clear water.
Never use abrasive scouring powders.
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water and a soft cloth to clean the glass door. Do not use any abrasive powders.
Wipe the control panel with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the panel―they can damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the control panel.
Do not wipe the wine chiller with a soiled dishcloth or towel. These may leave a residue that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish.
Stainless steel. Regularly clean and polish the stainless steel areas (on some models) with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner such as Gleem-it® to preserve and protect the fine finish. Gleem-it® is available at leading hardware stores. It is also available through our website, GEAppliances.ca, or call 1.888.261.3055. Order part number WX10X15.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.
Protect the paint finish. The finish on the outside of the wine chiller is a high-quality, baked-on paint finish.
With proper care, it will stay new-looking and rust-free for years. Apply a coat of kitchen/appliance wax when the wine chiller is new, and then at least twice
a year.
Cleaning the Inside
IMPORTANT: Unplug the wine chiller before cleaning.
To clean the inner liner and racks, use
a warm water and baking soda solution― about one tablespoon (15 mL) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors.
Rinse and wipe dry.
The vinyl door gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and water or a baking soda solution. Rinse well.
Do not use detergents, scouring powders, spray cleaners or other harsh chemicals to clean the interior.
Defrosting
Defrost whenever frost on the inside surfaces of the storage area becomes 1/8" (3 mm) thick.
Never use a heater of any kind, scraper or sharp instrument to remove frost as it may damage the wine chiller.
To defrost, unplug the wine chiller. Remove the contents and wipe inside surfaces and
racks with a clean towel. If frost does not come off easily, allow the frost to melt somewhat and wipe off.
After defrosting, make sure inside surfaces are dry; then return the contents to the wine chiller and set the temperature control to the desired setting.
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 unload the wine from the wine chiller and move the wine to a cooler location until power is restored.
When power is restored, the controls automatically are set to the Factory Setting 50°F (10°C). If needed, reset the controls to the desired setting.
