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.

wine & beverage center features and use

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

To set the temperature hold the “Set” button for about 3 seconds. You will notice the temperature display blink for the 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.
