Proper Disposal of Your Old
Refrigerated Appliance
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
Remove door or drawer(s) from your old refrigerated
appliance.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned wine cellars are still
dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are
getting rid of your old wine cellar, please follow these
instructions to help prevent accidents.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerated Appliance:
Take off the door.
Leave the racks and shelves in place so that children may not
easily climb inside.
Location Requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from wine cellar.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
To ensure proper ventilation for your wine cellar, allow for a
5" (127 mm) space between the back of the wine cellar and
the wall. When installing your wine cellar next to a fixed
wall, leave 131⁄4" (33.7 cm) minimum clearance on the hinge side
to allow for the door to swing open.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the wine
cellar near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install
in a location that receives direct sunlight or heat. Do not

WINE CELLAR USE
Your wine cellar has four leveling legs. If your wine
cellar seems unsteady or you want the door to close more easily,
adjust the wine cellar’s tilt using the instructions below.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
wine cellar.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Normal Sounds
Your new wine cellar may make sounds that your old one
didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, such as the flooring and surrounding structures, can
make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds
of sounds and what may be making them.
Your wine cellar is designed to run more efficiently to
keep your stored items at the desired temperatures and to
minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and
fans may cause your wine cellar to run longer than your
old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound
from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize
performance.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items
stored inside the wine cellar.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your wine cellar.
You may hear water running into the drain pan when the
wine cellar is defrosting.
You may hear clicking sounds when the wine cellar
starts or stops running.
Using the Control
The wine cellar has an electronic control panel that allows
total cabinet temperature control. It also offers the option of
displaying and setting the temperature in Fahrenheit or Celcius.
2. Move the wine cellar into its final location.
3. Turn the leveling legs to the right to lower the wine cellar
or turn the leveling legs to the left to raise it. It may take
several turns of the leveling legs to adjust the tilt of the
wine cellar.
NOTE: Having someone push ag
cellar takes some weight off the leveling legs. This makes it
easier to adjust the leveling legs.
4. Open the door and check to make sure that it closes as easily
as you like. If not, tilt the wine cellar slightly more to the
rear by turning both front leveling screws to the right. It may
take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling
legs the same amount.

Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.
The motor seems to run too much
Is the temperature outside hotter than normal? Expect the
motor to run longer under warm conditions. At normal
temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of
the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even
more of the time.
Temperature is too warm
Is the door opened often? Be aware that the wine
cellar will warm when this occurs. In order to keep the
wine cellar cool, try to get everything you need out of
the wine cellar at once and close the door as soon as
the bottles are removed.

conditions? See “Using the Control.”
Has a large quantity of bottles been added recently?
Limit the quantity of warm bottles being placed in the
wine cellar at the same time.
There is interior moisture buildup
Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity buildup, try to
get everything you need out of the wine cellar at once.
When the door is opened, humidity from the room air enters
the wine cellar. The more often the door is opened, the
faster humidity builds up, especially when the room itself is
very humid.
Is it humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside the
wine cellar when the air is humid.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See “Using the Control.”
