Installing Your Wine Cellar

Unpacking 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 cellar.

Leveling 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 counterclockwise to lower your wine cellar. The wine cellar door will close easier when the leveling legs are extended.

Proper Air Circulation

• To ensure that your wine cellar works at the maximum efficiency it

was designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.

• The following are recommended clearances around the wine cellar:

Sides……………2" (50mm)

Top....................2" (50mm)

Back..................2" (50mm)

• Do not over fill your wine cellar for proper wine cooling.

Electrical Requirement

• 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.

Installation Limitations

• Do not install your wine cellar in any location not properly insulated

or heated e.g. garage etc. Your wine cellar was not designed to operate in temperature settings below 50˚ Fahrenheit and above 90˚ Farenheit.

• Select a suitable location for the wine cellar on a hard, even

surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front and rear bottom corners of the wine cellar.

• Your wine cellar is designed for freestanding installation only.

It is not designed for built-in application.

English

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

Initial Setup

When turned on, the LCD will display the internal temperature. If the temperature is not set it will operate at the lowest temperature of each compartment.

Temperature Adjustments:

• Your wine cellar has an electronic temperature control in front of the

unit. The two individual temperature zones maintain their own temperature with the dual controls. The cooling temperature in the upper compartment ranges from 45˚F to 54˚F (7˚C to 12˚C). The cooling temperature in the lower compartment ranges from 54˚F to 65˚F (12˚C to 18˚C). This makes it ideal for white wines in the top compartment and reds in the bottom compartment. Please note that the actual cabinet temperature in a thermal electric unit is dependent on the ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature is too high then the cabinet temperature may not reach the preset range.

• To raise or lower the temperature simply press the “Temp Up” or “Temp Down” button.

• The LCD display will show the actual cabinet temperature while

it is running.

• The set temperature will be displayed for several seconds once it is

set. After that it will revert back to the actual cabinet temperature.

Shelving

• The shelves are designed to have air movement around the bottles to

keep the wine cool. The upper chamber has a 15 bottle capacity and the lower compartment has a 25 bottle capacity.

Interior Light

• To complement the look of your wine collection, a soft light has been

built into the wine cellar. Simply push the “Light” button and the light comes on, push again for off. For maximum energy efficiency, leave light off when not viewing your collection.

Proper Wine Cellar Care and Cleaning

Cleaning and Maintenance

Warning: To avoid electric shock always unplug your

wine cellar before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury.

Caution: Before using cleaning products, always read and

follow manufacturer’s instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.

General:

• Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution, to wipe down your wine cellar.

• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.

• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia,

chlorine bleach,concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your wine cellar.

Door Gaskets:

• Clean door gaskets every three months according

to general instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable to assure a proper seal.

• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side

of gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and ensure a good seal.

Power Interruptions

• Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms

or other causes. Remove the power cord from AC outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been restored, replug power cord to AC outlet.

Vacation and Moving Care

• For long vacations or absences, unplug the wine cellar and clean

the wine cellar and door gaskets according to “General cleaning”

section. Leave doors open, so air can circulate inside.

with the unit lying down, as possible damage to the unit could occur.
