IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Installation

Instructions

WARNING!

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including
the following:

This wine chiller must be properly installed

and located in accordance with these
instructions before it is used.

Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang

on the shelves in the wine chiller. They could
damage the wine chiller and seriously injure
themselves.

Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas;

clearances between the doors and between
the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.
Be careful closing doors when children are
in the area.

Unplug the wine chiller before cleaning and

making repairs.

Do not store or use gasoline or other

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE WINE CHILLER

Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigeration products are still dangerous…
even if they will sit for “just a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your old appliance,
please follow the instructions below to help
prevent accidents.

Care and Cleaning

Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigeration Product:

Take off the doors.

Leave the shelves in place so that children

vicinity of this or any other appliance.

performed by a qualified individual.

Do not store or install this appliance outdoors.

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

CFC Disposal

Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that
used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,
make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you
intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you
can be subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.

may not easily climb inside.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be CSA certified, 3-wire
grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the
electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric shock
hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.

If you have only a standard 2-prong wall outlet,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.

The wine chiller should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has
a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug your wine chiller by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and
pull straight out from the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords
that have become frayed or otherwise damaged.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion
damage along its length or at either end.

When moving the wine chiller away from the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS

Adapter plugs are not permitted in Canada.

Installing the wine chiller.

Removing the Packaging

Before using the wine chiller, be sure all packing materials and tape have been removed,
including any protective film covering the control and any film protecting the cabinet.

If you are discarding an old refrigeration product, remove the doors to reduce the danger
of children being trapped inside.

Installation Guidelines

Installation

Instructions

To raise the wine chiller

Care and Cleaning

The wine chiller must be freestanding.

Allow the following clearances for ease

of installation, proper air circulation
and electrical connections:

Each side 2" (51 mm)
Top 2" (51 mm)
Back 3" (51 mm)

Before connecting the appliance to the

power source, let it stand upright for
approximately 2 hours. This will reduce
the possibility of a malfunction in the
cooling system from handling during
transporation.

Do not install the wine chiller where

the temperature will go below 55°F
(13°C) or above 90°F (32°C).

Install it on a level floor.

Do not install the wine chiller where it

will be subject to direct sunlight, heat
or moisture.

Do not store or install this appliance

outdoors.

The following models must be installed

on the floor: GWS04, GCS04.

Leveling Legs

Adjustable legs at the front corners of the

wine chiller should be set so the wine
chiller is firmly positioned on the floor,
with a 1/8" (3 mm) tilt to the back to
help the door closure.

To adjust the leveling legs, turn the
legs clockwise to raise the wine chiller,

counterclockwise to lower it.

Door Lock (available on some Models)

The key is located inside the plastic bag containing the Owner's Manual. Insert the key
in the lock and turn it counterclockwise to unlock the door. To lock the door do the
reverse operation. Remove the key and place in a secure location.

Interior Light (available on some Models)

You can turn the light ON or OFF by pushing the light switch located on the right side of
the control panel housing. If the interior light is left on, the temperature will be higher.

Loading the Wine

As with any refrigeration product, there is a slight temperature variance at different
locations within the cabinet. In this wine chiller, the lower shelves provide a slightly
cooler temperature than the upper shelves.

When storing both red and white wines, it is best to store the white wine on the lower
shelves where the temperature is slightly cooler.
