Installation Instructions
BEFORE USE:
•
Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
•
Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 8 hours. This will reduce
the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
•
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
•
This appliance is designed for freestanding use. Ensure that there is 2” of air space on both sides, and 3” in back.
•
Place the unit on a flat, solid floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level the
appliance, adjust the front leveling leg at the bottom of the unit.
•
When moving your wine cellar, please do not incline it more than 45 degrees.
•
Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight
may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient
temperatures may also cause the unit to perform improperly. The optimal ambient temperature range is 65°F -
80°F
•
Avoid locating the unit in damp areas.
•
Plug the wine cellar into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power
and/or electrical grounding should be directed to a certified electrician or authorized products service center.
•
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 3 to 4 hours before placing wine
bottles or beverage cans in the appliance.
Operation Instructions
The wine cellar should be placed in an area where the ambient temperature range is between 55-80 degrees Fahrenheit.
If the ambient temperature is above or below this range, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example,
placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate.
Your Allavino Wine Cellar includes an operating panel on the front of the unit. The operating panel includes several
features to operate and control the temperature of the wine refrigerator, including:
Light - Turns the interior light on or off
Run Indicator Light – Illuminates when the compressor is running
Upper/Lower Chamber – Adjust and display the temperatures of each zone on individual LED displays
UP/DOWN Buttons – Adjusts the temperature upwards in 1 degree increments until it reaches maximum temperature,
and then cycles back to the lowest temperature and begins again
°C / °F - Toggles the temperature display between Celsius and Fahrenheit
Power Button - Press to turn on/off the appliance
The unit has a locking door and two keys are provided. To lock the door, turn the key clockwise and turn it
counterclockwise to unlock the door. Keep the keys in a safe place.
If you are going on vacation, you may leave the wine cellar operating during vacations of less than three weeks. If the
appliance will not be used for several months, you should remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the
interior thoroughly. To prevent mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
