SAFETY INFORMATION & WARNINGS
When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions must be followed in order to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and/or injury to persons or property. Be sure to read all instructions before using this appliance and observe the following safety tips:
Attention: To avoid the risk of child entrapment, do not allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the unit. If the unit will not be used for an
extended period of time, remove the door and leave the shelves in place so that children cannot crawl inside. Also remove the door when disposing of the unit.
Shock Hazard – Electrical Grounding Required
Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the unit until the
electricity has been disconnected.
Never remove the round grounding prong from the plug and never use a
two-prong grounding adaptor.
Altering or cutting of power cord, removal of power cord, removal of power
plug, or direct wiring can cause serious injury, fire, and loss of property and/or life, and will void the warranty.
Never use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.
Avoid operating this fridge in excessively moist or humid environments.
Important Precautions:
Do not lift unit by door handle.
Never install or operate the unit behind closed doors.
Be sure the kick-plate on the front bottom is free of obstruction. Obstructing
airflow can cause the unit to malfunction and will void the warranty.
Failure to clean the condenser every six months can cause the unit to
malfunction.
Allow unit temperature to stabilize for 24 hours before use.
Do not block any internal fans.
Keep the fridge away from hazardous materials or combustible/flammable
substances.
Use only genuine supplier’s replacement parts. Imitation parts can damage
the unit, affect its operation or performance, and may void the warranty.

INSTALLATION
Before connecting the appliance to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately 24 hours. This will reduce the
possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
Before operating your fridge for the first time, follow these steps:
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Clean the interior surface of the unit with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
Place the fridge on a level surface that will be strong enough to support the
unit when it is fully loaded. To level your cooler, adjust the front feet located at the bottom of the unit.
REVERSING THE DOOR SWING
The door hinge is on the left side by default. If you wish to reverse the swing so that the door opens from the right, it is important to have at least one other person to help. It is dangerous to try to reverse the door swing by yourself.
1. Unscrew the upper door hinge while the second person supports the door.
2. Remove the upper hinge and carefully lift the door off the bottom hinge.
3. Unscrew the bottom hinge and install it on the left side of the unit.
4. Flip the door around so that the handle is on the right side and slip the
door over the bottom hinge.
5. Reattach the door by screwing the top hinge into the holes provided on the
upper left surface of the unit. Make adjustments as necessary to be sure the door is aligned properly.

The top zone of the fridge comes with an adjustable split shelf configuration for your beverages, enabling you to have either a full-sized shelf or a half-sized shelf to accommodate different sized cans or bottles.
To install, simply remove the first shelf from the top zone of the fridge and replace with the included half-sized shelf.
HANDLE ASSEMBLY
Tools Required for Assembly: Phillips screwdriver (not included)
Estimated Assembly Time: 5 minutes
Before installation, attach the handle to the front of the unit with the included screws. It may be necessary to push aside the rubber seal on the inside of the door to reveal the screw holes.

USAGE & STORAGE TIPS
• Only pull out one shelf at a time. Never attempt to pull more than one.
• Disperse the bottles evenly to avoid concentrating weight in one place.
Bottles must not touch the back of the cabinet.
• You can increase your wine fridge’s storage capacity by removing shelves and
stacking bottles on top of one another. Do not stack more than 3 rows of bottles per shelf.
• The ideal temperature for long-term or short-term wine storage is around 55°F (13°C), but this can vary from wine to wine. Wine should never be kept below 25°F (-4°C), which can cause wine to freeze, or above 68°F (20°C), which can accelerate the aging process and destroy volatile compounds.
• Keep your wine in the dark as much as possible. UV rays from direct sunlight can damage wine’s flavors and aromas. You should also keep wines away from
sources of vibration, they can disturb sediments in the bottle, disrupting the delicate process that causes wines to age favorably.
• At lower humidity levels, your corks can dry out, leaving the wine vulnerable
to the effects of oxygen, while higher humidity can cause labels to peel off the bottles, making them difficult to display or sell. In general, your wine cellar humidity should be between 60 and 68 percent.
• The key to extending the shelf life of an open wine and retain its original
qualities is to recork it promptly and tightly. To recork wine, place some wax paper around the cork and slide it back into its original position. The wax will ease the cork into the top and also ensure that no stray parts of the cork drop
into the bottle. If recorking isn’t an option, a rubber wine stopper or a wine
vacuum pump can create an airtight seal.
• While most wines today are meant to be drunk “young” (within a few years of production) some fine wines are best served by proper aging. But aging too long can decrease the flavor of the wine. Generally speaking, red wines can age longer than white wines, but here is a storage guide for some popular vintages. Cabernet Sauvignon………… 7-10 years
Pinot Noir…………………………. 5 years Merlot………………………………. 3-5 years Zinfandel…………………………… 2-5 years Beaujolais…………………………. Drink now Chardonnay………………………. 2-3 years Riesling……………………………… 3-5 years Sauvignon Blanc……………… 18 months – 2 years Pinot Gris………………………….. 1-2 years Champagne ……………………… Ready to drink
