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 wine cooler 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 caused 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 wine cooler 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.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
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.
Caution: Avoid over-tightening the screws, or you may cause damage to the
unit.
INSTALLATION
Before connecting the appliance to a 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
transportation.
This appliance can either stand alone or be built in. The front grille must be
unobstructed.
Before operating your wine cooler for the first time, follow these steps:
• Clean the interior surface of the unit with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
• Place the cooler 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.
• Install the cooler away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as
stoves, heaters, or radiators. Direct sunlight may affect the unit’s acrylic
coating, and nearby heat sources can increase electrical consumption.
Extreme cold or hot ambient temperatures may also prevent proper
performance.

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.

HOW TO USE YOUR MOISTURE TRAY
Your unit comes with a small water tray to help moisturize corks and or
wooden shelves so they don't dry out. Fill the tray halfway and place it on the
middle shelf— horizontally and towards the back —so moisture is evenly
distributed throughout the inside of the cabinet. Refill the tray when it is a
quarter of the way empty and exercise caution when removing or restocking
bottles so water does not spill out.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR FRIDGE
To clean your cooler:
• Unplug the cooler and remove anything inside.
• Wash the inside of the unit with a solution made of warm water and
baking soda solution (2 tablespoons of baking soda to one quart of water).
• Unscrew the water reservoir at the bottom of the unit and rinse with
water.
• To clean the outside of the unit, use a mild detergent and warm water.
MOVING YOUR FRIDGE
To move your cooler:
• Remove anything stored inside.
• Securely tape down all loose parts located inside the unit.
• Turn the leveling feet up to the base in order to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the cooler stays in an upright position during transportation.

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
