1) Read all of the instructions before using this appliance.

2) This wine cellar must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the installation section.

3) Never unplug your wine cellar by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

4) Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the connector end.

5) Unplug your wine cellar before cleaning or before making any repairs. Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly recommend that a certified technician performs the service.

6) If your wine cellar is not being used, we recommend that you remove the door and leave the shelves in place. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.

7) This wine cellar should not be recessed or built-in in an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.

8) Do not operate your wine cellar in the presence of explosive fumes.

9) Do not store foods in wine cellar as interior temperature may not be cool enough to prevent spoilage.

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.

Leveling your Wine Cellar

• Your wine cellar may have 4 leveling legs. After properly placing your wine

cellar in its final position, you can level your wine cellar.

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

wine cellar or by turning them clockwise to lower your wine cellar.

• Install the legs by screwing in the legs into the preset screw holes.

Proper Air Circulation

• To ensure that 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˚.

English

Electrical Requirement

• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (110 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 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 freestanding 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.

ºC/ºF

wine cellar feature and use

General Features

Temperature Adjustments:

• Your wine cellar has an electronic temperature control on the front of the unit.

You can set the temperature of your wine cellar at any setting you desire.

The temperature will range from 46˚F to 64˚F. When initially turned on, the temperature display will show the ambient (room) temperature and will then display the internal temperature.

NOTE: White wine temperature is cooler than red wine

temperature.

By pressing the touchpad on the display you can increase the temperature and pressing the touchpad will lower the temperature. After you set your required temperature, the set temperature will flash for approximately 5 seconds and then the display will revert to the ambient temperature.

Your wine cellar also has a light for you 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 internal temperature in a thermal electric unit corresponds with the room temperature and may fluctuate.

By pressing the (C/F) touchpad you can have the temperature readout either in celsius or fahrenheit (not on all models).

When the ambient temperature is below the pre-set temperature, the cellar will not operate until the ambient temperature increases to higher than the pre-set temperature.
