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.

temperature and pressing the ( ) 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 thermal electric 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.

Thermal Electric Cooling:
• Thermal Electric (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 thermal electric units offer high reliability and low
maintenance while precisely maintaining the preset temperature for storing
wine. Thermal electric 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.
