OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Important: When using the wine cellar for
the first time, allow at least 24 hours for the
internal temperature to adjust properly.
Make sure there are at least 3 to 5 bottles in
the unit.
ALWAYS REMOVE ALL BOTTLES BEFORE
MOVING THE WINE CELLAR
Using your Wine Cellar
Place your wine cellar on a flat surface that is
strong enough to support it when fully loaded.
Gently place/slide the racks in the wine cellar.
Plug the power cord into a standard electrical
outlet and the unit will turn on automatically to
the default setting.
Place bottles inside the cellar.
Determine the best setting to use: refer to the
temperature guide for appropriate serving
temperatures (see page 7).
The unit’s cooling system operates efficiently with
an ambient temperature of less than 70°F (21°C).
Proper Air Circulation
To assure that your wine cellar works at the
maximum efficiency it was designed for, you
should install it in a location where there is
proper air circulation and electrical
connections.
Allow 2 inches of space on both sides and rear of
the wine cellar to allow proper ventilation.
To ensure proper internal air circulation do not
overfill your wine cellar.
This wine cellar is designed to be freestanding
only, and should not be recessed or built in (fully
recessed).
NOTE: Allow enough space in the front of
the unit to open the door 120°.
Electrical Requirements
Do not plug unit into the same outlet as a
refrigerator or microwave.
Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (120
volts, 15 amps) with proper grounding to
power the wine cellar.
Avoid the use of three-prong plug adapters or
cutting off the grounding prong 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 a shock hazard.
Leveling your Wine Cellar
Your wine cellar has 4 leveling legs. After
properly placing your wine cellar in its final
position, you can level your wine cellar.
(Please note that the leg that stands on the
hinge is the shorter leg.)
Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them
clockwise to raise the wine cellar or by turning
them counterclockwise to lower the cellar.
Installation Limitations
Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.
Do not locate the unit in a moist place or display in
direct sunlight.
Do not place the unit next to a major appliance
that emits large amounts of heat, such as a
dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, oven or
barbecue, etc.
Do not install your wine cellar in any location
not properly insulated or heated (garage, etc).
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 surface
unevenness should be corrected with the
leveling legs located on the front and rear
bottom corners of the wine cellar. Avoid
placing unit where there may be electrical
interference.
NOTE: To minimize the risk of rusting,
leakage and insulation damage, avoid
placing the unit in a place where heavy
moisture is present. Under no
circumstances spill or directly apply water
onto or into the unit.
