Installing Your Wine Cooler

Unpacking Your Wine Cooler

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the wine cooler accessories inside and outside. Slide out and remove plastic or foam guard used to secure the compressor from shipping damage due to vibration and shock.

2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before powering on the wine cooler.

Leveling Your Wine Cooler

• Your wine cooler has four leveling legs which are located in the

front and rear corners of your wine cooler. After properly placing your wine cooler in its final position, you can level your wine cooler.

• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your

wine cooler or by turning them counterclockwise to lower your wine cooler. The wine cooler door will close easier when the leveling legs are extended.

Proper Air Circulation

• To assure your wine cooler works at the maximum ef ficiency 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 cooler:

Sides……………2 "(50mm)

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

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

• Do not over fill your wine cooler for proper internal air circulation.

Electrical Requirement

• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet)

with proper grounding to power the wine cooler.

• 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 cooler and may result in shock hazard.

Install Limitations

• Do not install your wine cooler in any location not properly insulated or

heated e.g. garage etc. Your wine cooler was not designed to operate in temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.

• Select a suitable location for the wine cooler 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 cooler.

• Your wine cooler is designed for free-standing installation only. It is not

designed for built-in application.

Wine Cooler Features And Use

Initial Setup

Electronic Controlled Units:

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 may stay on.

Mechanical Controlled Units:

The control for this is on the back of the unit. There are 6 settings plus 0 (OFF). Initially set the temperature setting to 3. Let the unit run for at least 30 minutes to acclimate itself before making any adjustments.

Temperature Adjustments:

Electronic Control Unit: See fig. # 1

• The wine cooler is preset from the factory to automatically accommodate temperature requirements for red or white wines. If you store mostly white wines, press the "White Wine" button and the wine cooler will maintain an average temperature between 45˚ to 50˚ F. Pushing the "Red Wine" button will yield an average temperature between 55˚ to 60˚ F.

• The wine cooler 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, press 4 times equals 4 degrees, 5 times equals 5 degrees, and so on. Once you have selected the temperature you desire, push the "Light/Set" button. Now the wine cooler 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 cooler activates and deactivates trying to maintain your desired temperature. There is often a 10˚ variance between the top and bottom shelves of the wine cooler. Therefore, if you have set the wine cooler 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.

English

Mechanical Control Unit: See fig. # 2

• Your wine cooler has a temperature control knob on the back of the unit. There are 6 settings: 1 being the warmest and 6 being the coolest. You can set the temperature of your wine cooler at any setting you desire.

English

Shelving

• The shelves are designed for flexibility and easy cleaning. To accommodate dif ferent sized bottles the shelves slide out and can be moved up or down into any of the tracks molded into the cooler cabinet. Larger bottles or Magnums can be more easily accommodated on the cross shelves of the bottom basket of the cooler. You will notice that the shelves are designed so the bottles do not line-up directly over one another. This allows free air movement and provides more space.

Interior Light

• To complement the look of your wine collection, a soft light has been built into the wine cooler. Simply push the "Light/Set" button on the electronic controlled unit, and the light comes on, push again for off. On the mechanical control units, the light switch is on the front for your convenience. For maximum energy efficiency, leave light off when not viewing your collection.

Door Lock

• For safety and security, your wine cooler is equipped with a door lock.

(electronic controlled unit only)

To eliminate the risk of accidental child entrapment, the lock was designed so that the door will not lock until the key is removed (consistent with UL requirements).

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.
