Remove Packaging
Your wine cooler has been packed for shipment with all
parts that could be damaged by movement securely fastened. Before using, be sure all packing materials and
tape have been removed.
Important
Keep your carton packaging until your wine cooler has
been thoroughly inspected and found to be in good condition. If there is damage, the packaging will be needed
as proof of damage in transit.
How to Install Your
Refrigerated Wine Cooler
Select Location: The proper location will ensure peak
performance of your appliance. Choose a location
where the unit will be out of direct sunlight and away
from heat sources. Best performance will be maintained when installed within the following parameters:
Cabinet Clearance: Ventilation is required from the
bottom front section of the unit. Keep this area open
and clear of any obstructions.
Electrical Connection
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. All external wiring must comply with the IEE
Regulations for the Electrical Equipment of Buildings.
Connections to the electrical supply can be made
with either a plug and socket or be permanently
wired via a double-pole switch.
The appliance is supplied with a 250V PVC(85°C)
core cable (0.5mm²x2.5 metres long). Any replacement cable fitted must follow this specification. The
unit may be supplied with either a moulded or
rewirable plug. Should the plug not fit the socket at
the installation site it should be removed and
replaced with the correct type of plug.
Moulded Plugs: If a moulded plug is fitted which is
not suitable, it must be removed and disposed of. To
avoid the risk of electrocution, a plug must not be left
where a child may plug it into a supply socket. It must
not be used for any other appliance. Athree pin plug
to BS 1363 with a capacity of not less than 13A must
be used and fitted with a 13Afuse ‘ASTA’approved to
BS 1363.
If you replace the fuse, the cover must be refitted. If the
cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement has been obtained from your supplier . The colour
of the fuse cover is that of the insert in the base of the
fuse recess or elsewhere on the plug. Always st ate this
colour when ordering a replacement cover.

Built-in 18° – 27°C
Free-Standing 18° – 32°C
If your appliance has a moulded plug, you do
NOT have to do the following assembly as shown
in Figure 1. Appliances with moulded plugs are
ready to use as is.
Important: The wires should be connected to the ter-
minals of the plug as follows:
Earth to the terminal marked E or coloured Green or
Green/Yellow.
Neutral to the terminal marked N or coloured Black or
Brown
Live to the terminal marked L, or coloured Red or Brown
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire
are retained in each terminal. The flexible mains
cable, plug and socket must not be exposed to flue
products or be allowed to come in contact with a hot
surface. The cable must not be trapped or pulled taut
when the appliance is pushed into position.
How to Operate Your
Refrigerated Wine Cooler
Set the Control: The total available temperature
range of the unit is from 5°C to 17°C. The middle
range on the control is approximately 13°C. The temperature can be lowered or
raised by turning the control
clockwise or counterclockwise, respectively. As with
any refrigeration product,
there is a slight temperature
variance at different locations within the cabinet. For example, the coolest bottles will be in the middle shelves. The bottles on the
top two shelves will be 1°C to 2°C warmer. This is the
warmest location. The bottles in the front of the
shelves will be 1°C to 2°C warmer than the rear of the
shelves. Position your wine inventory accordingly. To
start your appliance, use a screwdriver to turn the
control clockwise to the middle thermostat setting
(see figure 2). Once the bottles are loaded, allow at
least 48 hours for the unit to stabilize before making
any adjustments to the initial setting.
We recommend you place a small thermometer
inside the wine cooler that is visible when looking
through the glass door. This will help you establish
the cabinet interior temperature you wish to store
your wine collection at.
Insert Wine Bottles: The top two fixed-in-place racks
each hold six bottles, two deep with the necks alternating front (rear bottles) to back (front bottles), See
figure 3. The middle four slide-out racks each hold
eight bottles, two deep with necks alternating front
(rear bottles) to back (front bottles). The bottom rack
holds six bottles that are loaded with necks facing the
rear. Tall bottles should not be loaded on the bottom
rack because they may prevent the door from closing.
