INSTALLING YOUR WINE CELLAR
U
npacking Your Wine Cellar
1
. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the wine cellar
accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before powering on the wine cel-
lar.
L
eveling Your Wine Cellar
• Your wine cellar has four leveling legs which are located in the front and rear corners of your wine
cellar. After properly placing your wine cellar in its final position, you can level your wine cellar.
• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your wine cellar or by turning them coun-
terclockwise to lower your wine cellar. The wine cellar door will close easier when the
leveling legs are extended.
Electrical Requirements
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with proper grounding to power
the wine cellar.
• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order to accommodate a two
plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the wine cellar and
may result in shock hazard.
Use of Extension Cord
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions. If it is
necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must
be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

WINE CELLAR FEATURES AND USE
•
Once you have plugged the unit into an electrical outlet, let the unit run for at least 30 minutes to acclimate itself before making any adjustments. During this time the Red Wine light will stay on. Temperature
inside the cooler, if not adjusted, will be at 55°-60°F.
•
The wine cellar can be set to any temperature you desire to accommodate your wine storage requirements. To set the temperature, press both the "White Wine" and "Red Wine" buttons simultaneously and
h
old for approximately 3 seconds. Now you are in temperature set mode. Decrease the temperature by
pushing the "White Wine" button and increase the temperature by pressing the "Red Wine" button.
Pressing the appropriate button 3 times will adjust the temperature 3 degrees, press 4 times equals 4
degrees, 5 times equals 5 degrees, and so on. Once you have selected the temperature you desire, push
the "On/Off" button. Now the wine cellar is programmed and the LED readout will return to current internal temperature reading.
• There will be a 3 degree variance +/- between the temperature you select and the temperature
indicated on the LED readout. This occurs because the wine cellar activates and deactivates trying to
maintain your desired temperature. There is often a variance between the top and bottom shelves of the
wine cellar. Therefore, if you have set the wine cellar for 50° and have a mix of red and white wines, you
may want to put the white wine on the bottom shelf where the temperature will be cooler, and place the
red wine on the top shelf where the temperature will be warmer.
Shelving
• There are 5 glide out shelves. The shelves are chrome plated with a wood trim. The bottom shelf is a
chrome plated wire shelf. They are designed for flexibility and easy cleaning. The shelves are designed to
allow free air movement.
Interior Light
• To complement the look of your wine collection, a soft light has been built into the wine cellar. The light
switch is on the electronic control panel.
Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear
• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of the refrigerant circulating through
the cooling coils.
• The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.

with warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning
solution, to wipe down your wine cellar.
