Unpacking Yoor 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 ancl remove any remains of packing, tape or printed
materials before powering on the wine cellar.

Leveling Yoor 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 cloor will close easier when the leveling legs

are extended.

Proper Air Circulation

* To assure 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 .................... 2H(50ram)

Back .................. 2'_{50mm)

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

[[÷¢tr[¢a[ R÷quiremen

* 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 prac-
tice since if provides no effective grounding for the wine cellar and

may result in shock hazard.

Install 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 free-standing installation only. It is
not designed for built-in application.

Use of Extension Cord

Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety haz-
ards under certain conditions. If if 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.

Initial Setup

When turned on, the LCD will display the internal temperature. If the temperature

is not set if will operate at the lowest temperature of each compartment.

Temperafure Ad[usfmemfs:

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 (11°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 ternperafure. If the ambient temperature is too high
then the cabinet temperature may not reach the preset range.
