SAFETY INFORMATION & WARNINGS

Before Using Your Wine And Beverage Fridge for the First Time:

Carefully read all instructions before using this fridge for the first time. Also
make sure the fridge stays in an upright position during transportation. After
removing the appliance from its packaging, make sure it is in good condition,
and let the fridge stand for 24 hours before connecting to power, to allow
refrigerant to settle. If there are any issues with the unit, please contact us
immediately at [e-mail].

• Place the unit on a level floor that will be strong enough to support it

when it is at full capacity. To level the fridge, adjust the leveling feet

located at the bottom of the unit.

• Do not use this fridge in applications for which it is not intended.

Damage that occurs from improper use or from unauthorized repairs

will void the warranty.

• For proper air circulation, please maintain a 2-inch minimum clearance

in between the back of the fridge and the wall.

• Do not operate this fridge in excessively moist or humid environments.

• Keep the fridge away from direct sunlight.

• Keep the fridge away from hazardous materials or

combustible/flammable substances.

★ CAUTION:

• This wine and beverage fridge is designed for built-in or freestanding

applications.

• DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT: An empty fridge can be

dangerous to children. Remove any latches, lids, locks, and/or doors

from unused or discarded appliances to prevent child entrapment and

suffocation. Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside

this appliance.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

INITIAL SETUP

Remove exterior and interior packing materials and let the fridge stand for 24
hours before connecting to power, to allow refrigerant to settle. Once it is
plugged in, let it run for at least 30 minutes before stocking. Do not change the
temperature or adjust any settings during this time.

INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE

• Use two or more people to move and install the fridge. Failure to do so can

result in back or other injury.

• Place your fridge on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is

fully loaded.

• Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60℉ and below

90℉.

• This fridge is designed for built-in, recessed or freestanding installation.

• For built-in installation, leave a 1/4” (6.35mm) space on each side and at

the top of the fridge to ensure proper air circulation to cool the
compressor and condenser.

• For freestanding installation, leave the proper clearance around the fridge.

Below are the recommended clearances:
Side: 3/4” (19mm); Top: 4” (100mm); Back: 2” (50mm)

• Even for built-in installation, you must keep space on each side and at the

top. If you plan to use the unit for a built-in application please leave at
least 0.25 in of space on all sides.

• The fridge must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections

in accordance with state and local codes.

• Make certain that the pipes are not pinched, kinked or damaged during

installation. Check for leaks after connection.

NOTE: Designed for indoor, home use only. The fridge should not be located next to

sources of high heat or in direct sunlight. Do not store or install the fridge
outdoors, in a garage, basement or in moist areas. Don’t install in a location
where the temperature will fall below 60℉. For best performance and to ensure
proper ventilation, do not install the fridge behind a cabinet door or block the
ventilation grille at the bottom of the front of the unit.

HANDLE INSTALLATION

• Pull away the door gasket in the area where the handle is to be installed.

The gasket is easily removed by hand, no tools are necessary. It does not
need to be cut or removed completely.

• Insert the two (2) Phillips head screws with the lock washers and flat

washers through the gasket side of the door frame until the screws pass
through the door frame.

• Align the handle with the screws installed in the above step. Tighten the

screws using a Phillips head screwdriver until the handles secure tightly
against the door frame. (Do NOT over tighten) Replace the gasket.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Press the power button to turn the fridge on and off, even while the unit is
plugged in. The fridge will be on by default but pressing and holding the power
button for 5 seconds will shut it off. This feature is handy if you want to shut
the unit off but are unable to reach the plug. Press and hold for 5 seconds to
turn the fridge back on.

Press the light buttons to switch between “auto” lighting and “always on”
lighting. Auto lighting is the default setting, which keeps the lights off when the
door is closed. Lights will only turn on when a door is opened. Press the button
once to keep the lights on even when the doors are closed.

Press the up and down arrows to adjust the temperature for each zone in one
degree increments. The left zone temperature can be set between 36°and
72℉, and the right zone temperature can be set between 40°and 72℉. To view
the current set temperature, press the up or down arrow once.

Press the C/F button to change between Celsius and Fahrenheit for the
temperature display.

NOTE: If the unit is unplugged, turned off, or power is lost, you must wait 3
to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this
time delay, the unit will not start. When you use the unit for the first time or
restart the unit after having been shut off for a long time, there could be a
few degrees of variance between the temperature you select and the
ambient temperature indicated on the LED readout. This is normal. Once the
unit is running for a few hours, temperatures will stabilize.

DOOR LOCK

Your unit comes with a lock and key. The keys are located inside the plastic bag

that contains the owner’s manual. Insert the key into the lock and turn it

counter clockwise to unlock the door. To lock the door, do the reverse, and
make sure the metal pin is engaged completely. Remove the key and store in a
secure location—you don’t want to get locked out of your own fridge!

SHELVES

To avoid damaging the door gasket, make sure to have the door completely
opened when pulling the shelves out of the unit.

• For easy access to your drinks, we recommend pulling the shelf out until it

stops. Locks on the shelves keep them from falling out due to the weight of
the drinks.

• If you want to remove a shelf entirely, make sure to remove all items first.

Then, move the shelf to the position where the notch in the shelf is
positioned under the lock (a small round peg on each side that prevents
the shelves from falling out). Lift the shelf so that the notch passes over
the lock, then remove the shelf. Do the reverse to reinsert the shelf.

OTHER TIPS

• This unit comes equipped with a “door open” alarm, which will start

beeping if one of the doors is left open for more than 3 minutes. If you
hear this alarm, double check to make sure the doors are closed properly.

• To ensure maximum performance and efficiency, be sure to place your

fridge in an area where there is proper air circulation.

• For proper internal air circulation, do not overfill your fridge.

• Do not place the unit in direct sunlight.

• Do not place heated beverages in your fridge.

• Do not store perishable food in your fridge. The unit’s interior temperature

may not be low enough to prevent spoilage.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the fridge.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

• Shut off the power supply before cleaning the fridge.

• Remove all cans and storage shelves.

• Clean the interior with a warm water and neutral detergent solution. Do

the same with the outside of the unit.

• Thoroughly dry all surfaces before plugging the unit in again.

• DO NOT use abrasive cleaners to clean the fridge. Use warm, soapy water

to clean the door gasket.
