installing your wine & beverage center
Unpacking Your Wine & Beverage Center
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all
adhesive tape holding the wine & beverage center accessories inside
and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed
materials before powering on the wine & beverage center
Leveling Your Wine & Beverage Center
• Your wine & beverage center has four leveling legs which are located
in the front and rear corners of your wine & beverage center. After
properly placing your wine & beverage center in its final position, you
can level your wine & beverage center.
• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your
wine & beverage center or by turning them counterclockwise to lower
your wine & beverage center. The wine & beverage center door will
close easier when the leveling legs are extended.
Proper Air Circulation
• To assure your wine & beverage center 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 &
beverage center:
Sides……………2” (50mm)
Top....................2” (50mm)
Back..................2” (50mm)
• Do not overfill your wine & beverage center for optimal wine &
beverage cooling.
Note: If your wine & beverage center has been tilted for any reason,
wait 24 hours before plugging it in.

English
Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps
outlet) with proper grounding to power the wine & beverage center.
• 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 &
beverage center and may result in shock hazard.
Installation Limitations
• Do not install your wine & beverage center in any location not
properly insulated or heated, e.g. garage etc. Your wine &
beverage center was not designed to operate in temperature settings
below 55˚ Fahrenheit.
• Select a suitable location for the wine & beverage center 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 & beverage center is designed for freestanding 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
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.

Initial Setup
Once you have plugged the unit into an electrical outlet, let the unit run for at
least 30 minutes to acclimatize itself before making any adjustments. During this
time, depending on the internal temperature, the red or white wine light will stay
on for the upper compartment and red or white wine light will stay on for the
lower compartment. The LED display will show the current internal temperature.
Temperature Adjustments: See fig. # 1

upper compartment. Press the up or down arrow button to increase
or decrease the temperature setting. Once the desired temperature
is attained, press the “Set” button. Doing this, the electronic control
panel will memorize the setting. The temperature display will revert
back to display the inside temperature. It may take some time to
reach the set temperature.
• Once the tempurature is set for the upper compartment, you will
notice the temperature display blink for the lower compartment.
Again press the up or down arrow button to increase or decrease
the temperature. Once the desired temperature is attained, press the
“Set” button. Doing this, the electronic control panel will memorize
the setting. The temperature display will revert back to display the
inside temperature. It may take some time to reach the set
temperature.
