Electrical Requirement

• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with

proper grounding to power the wine cellar.

• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order to
accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no
effective grounding for the wine cellar and may result in shock hazard.

Install Limitations

• Do not install your wine cellar in any location not properly insulated or heated

e.g. garage etc. Your wine cellar was not designed to operate in temperature
settings below 60° Fahrenheit.

• Select a suitable location for the wine cellar on a hard even surface away from
direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking
appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs
located on the front and rear bottom corners of the wine cellar.

• This appliance is designed for free standing installation only.

• Allow at least 3 inches on both sides and back for proper ventilation.

Use of Extension Cords

• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under

certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will
accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

Wine Cellar Features and Use

Initial Setup

• Before connecting the wine cellar to the power source, let it stand upright for
approximately 24 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the
cooling system from handling during transportation.

• Once you have plugged the unit into an electrical outlet, let the unit run for at
least 30 minutes to acclimate before making any adjustments.

Temperature Adjustment

• When the wine cellar is plugged in for the first time, the LED display will show
the factory preset temperature.

• The wine cellar can be set to any temperature between 50° and 66°F to
accommodate your wine storage requirements. See page 9 for programming
instructions.

Shelving

Your cabinet was designed to store a maximum number of bottles securely. We
recommend that you observe the tips below to optimize loading:

• Remove tape from shelves once unit is stable and ready for storage.

• Disperse the bottles evenly to avoid concentrating weight in one place. Bottles

must not touch either the back of the cabinet or the step at the bottom. While
your wine cellar was designed to hold large format bottles, such as Pinot Noir and
Champagne, larger bottles reduce the number of bottles you can fit on a shelf.

• Make sure that the bottles are not all grouped together either at the top or

bottom of the cabinet.

• Only pull out one rolling shelf at a time. Never attempt to pull out more than
one.

• Maximum weight capacity per shelf is 55 lbs.
