INSTALLING YOUR WINE CELLAR

npacking Your Wine Cellar

. 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.

eveling Your Wine Cellar

• Your wine cellar has four leveling legs which are located in the front and rear corners of your wine cel-

ar. 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.

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

Initial Setup HVC15A

Your wine cellar has a temperature control knob on the bottom of the unit. There are 6 settings: 1

•

being the warmest and 6 being the coolest. You can set the temperature of your wine cellar at any setting you desire. The wine cellar will maintain a temperature range between 39˚F and 65˚ F.

HVCE15A

• 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 require-

ments. To set the temperature, press both the "White Wine" and "Red Wine" buttons simultaneously and hold 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 10° 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 45° F, and place the red wine on the top shelf where the temperature will be 55° F.

nterior 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 front bottom, or on the electronic control panel depending on the model pur-

hased.

ormal Operating Sounds You May Hear

• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of the refrigerant circulating

through the cooling coils.
