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.

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

HVCE15 / HVCE24

• 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 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, pressing 4 times equals 4 degrees, 5 times equals 5 degrees, and so on. Once you have selected the temperature you desire, push the "Set" button. Now the wine cellar is programmed and the LED readout will return to current internal temperature reading.

English

• 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.

Shelving (willvaryby modelpurchased)

• The shelves are chrome-plated glide-out with wood trim. 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.

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.

WINE CELLAR INSTALLATIONS

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 55˚ Fahrenheit.

• 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.

Dimensions

• Built-in wine cellars need to be ventilated from the front. This feature allows the

unit to be built-in 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):

PROPER WINE CELLAR CARE & 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.

English

Door Gaskets: • Clean door gaskets every three months according to

general instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable to ensure 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 wall outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been restored, replug power cord to wall 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. Prop doors open, so air can circulate inside. When moving always move the wine cellar vertically. Do not move with the unit lying down. Possible damage to the sealed system could occur.
