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
cellar.
L
eveling Your Wine Cellar
• Your wine cellar has four leveling legs which are located in the front and rear corners of your wine cel-
l
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
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.

nstall Limitations
•
Do not install your wine cellar in any location not properly insulated or heated e.g. garage etc. Your

ine cellar was not designed to operate in temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.
•
Select a suitable location for the wine cellar on a hard even surface away from direct sunlight or heat
s
ource e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should be cor-
rected with the leveling legs located on the front and rear bottom corners of the wine cellar.
Dimensions
• Built-in wine coolers need to be ventilated from the front. This feature allows the unit to be built in an
enclosed area. The bottom front grille should be clear of all obstructions. This is absolutely necessary
for the air to circulate and for the unit to operate efficiently. The dimensions for installation are as follows. (W x D x H)
