ASSEMBLY & OPERATION MANUAL
~1~
READ BEFORE YOU START
1. LOCATING YOUR WINE CELLAR - Remember, it is not an appliance, it is a piece of furniture
A. Provide 4” minimum clearance for both sides and back, keep the top completely clear.
Under no circumstances should the unit be “built-in” in any way.
B. Never locate your wine cellar outdoors or in an area with extremes of temperature and
humidity.
Garages, attics, unnished basements, laundry rooms, breezeways, closets, bedrooms or
any unventilated room. In other words these units must be installed in air-conditioned
environments which do not “trap” the warm air being exhausted.
C. Temperatures in surrounding area must not exceed 80 °F (25 °C) with humidity levels not
to exceed 70% R.H. (Relative Humidity). Never set your temperatures below default (57ºF)
whenever ambient conditions are warm (above 75ºF) or humid (above 50%R.H.).
D. Outlet power must be a DEDICATED separately fused, grounded, 15 Amp 110 - 120 V line or
7.5 Amp - 240 V line rated for your unit (CHECK BOX OR SERIAL NUMBER LABEL ON UNIT
FOR YOUR LINE VOLTAGE REQUIREMENTS).
E. You must monitor your unit DAILY. If unit is in “Alarm”, unplug the unit inmediately. Always
check for any water (condensate) leaks.
Vintage Keeper will not be liable or responsible for incidental or consequential damages.
(See Warranty).
F. Place unit in a clean area and allow access to the exterior surfaces for periodic vacuuming
of the condensor coil. (See troubleshooting for details.)
G. Always remove all bottles before relocating your wine cellar.
2. AREA FOR ASSEMBLING YOUR WINE CELLAR
Choose a clear 12’ by 12’ area with a level oor and carpeting to help reduce scratching of surfaces.
3. TOOLS
* Hex wrench (included)
* Phillips screwdriver
* Carpenter’s level
* Helper or two is strongly recommended
4. TEST THE COOLING UNIT
Plug it in for a few minutes on a table top, to verify that controls and display are functional, and that
the unit is producing cool air after a few minutes of operation.
Note that the electronic controller has a one-minute cautionary delay between initial plug-in and
start-up of the compressor.
NOTE: Fill out the WARRANTY REGISTRATION FORM with the serial number located on the LEFT
