INSTALLING YOUR WINE CELLAR
Unpacking Your Wine Cellar
1.Remove all packaging material. This includes the 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.
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 and electrical connections.
•The following are recommended clearances around the wine cellar
Sides...................... 2" (50mm) Top........................ 4" (100mm) Back...................... 2" (50mm)
•Do not over fill your wine cellar for proper internal air circulation.
NOTE: Allow enough space in the front of the unit to open the door to 120˚.
Grounding Instructions
•Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115V~60Hz 15A) with proper grounding to power the wine cellar.
•Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding pin 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 Cords
•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.

Installation Limitations
•Do not install your wine cellar in any location not properly insulated or heated e.g. garage etc.
•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 surface unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front and rear bottom corners of the wine cellar. Avoid placing unit where there may be electrical interference.
•Your wine cellar is designed for free-standing installation only. It is not designed for built-in application.
NOTE: To minimize the risk of rusting, leakage and insulation damage, avoid placing the unit in a place where heavy moisture is present. Under no circumstances spill or directly apply water onto or into the unit.
Door Alignment
1.Remove the top hinge cover using a flat head screwdriver.
2.Gently move wires aside and loosen the 3 screws using a Phillips Head Screwdriver.
3.Adjust the door and tighten the screws.
4.Replace the top hinge cover.
5.Adjust bottom hinge if necessary.
Stabilization Bracket (HVTM04ABB ONLY)
To increase product stability we strongly recommend attaching the stabilization bracket to the underside of the wine cellar.
1.Remove the bracket and 3 screws from the plastic bag.
2.Insert the screws through the holes in the bracket and then into the predrilled holes on the bottom of the wine cellar (see image)
3.Tighten the screws

By pressing the ( ^ ) temperature button on the display you can increase the temperature and pressing the ( v ) temperature button will lower the temperature.
Your wine cellar also has a light for your viewing pleasure. A light switch on the control panel will activate the light manually. Under normal operation it is best for the light to remain off.
Please note that the actual cabinet temperature in a thermoelectric unit is dependent on the ambient temperature. You may set the cabinet temperature within range but the unit may not reach the preset temperature.
For this model, when the ambient temperature is 77°, the lowest temperature that can be reached is 50-52°. When ambient temperature is 73°, the cabinet temperature can reach approximately 46-48°.
When the ambient temperature is below the pre-set temperature, the cellar will not operate until the ambient temperature increase to higher than the pre-set temperature.

Thermoelectric Cooling:
•Thermoelectric (also referred to as semiconductor) wine cellars do not use a compressor and therefore create minimal noise and vibration. Besides being extremely quiet, the lack of vibration will prevent bubbles from forming in stored wine. In addition thermoelectric units offer high reliability and low maintenance while precisely maintaining the preset temperature for storing wine. Thermoelectric technology is environmentally friendly, as no CFC, HCFC, or HCF-type refrigerants are involved in the cooling process.
Shelving:
• The shelves are chrome plated for appearance and easy cleaning.
Fan Filter:
To maintain proper product cooling and longevity the fan filter should be removed and cleaned every 6 months, or sooner, to remove dirt, dust and hair that can accumulate causing the cooling system to not function properly.
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE UNIT PRIOR TO CLEANING THE FAN FILTER
There are two effective methods to clean the external fan filter:
•A vacuum cleaner can be used to remove the dirt, dust and hair that has built-up.
•Alternatively compressed air, similar to what is used on a computer keyboard, can be used to clean the fan filter. Please be sure to follow the directions of the compressed air container to avoid damage or personal injury.

Vacation and Moving Care
•For long vacations or absences, unplug the unit, empty contents from 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 the unit lying on its side.
