Shut the door and tape it closed.

Energy Efficiency Tips
Locate your cooler in the coolest area of the room.
Locate your cooler away from direct sunlight or any heat-producing sources,
as this will force the cooler to work even harder, making it less likely to cool
your wine properly.
Let any hot foods or drinks cool before placing them inside the cooler.
5. Troubleshooting
Your EdgeStar wine cooler is a thermoelectric refrigeration unit that uses
“green” thermoelectric cooling to store your wine under ideal conditions.
What are the benefits of thermoelectric cooling?
•
Low energy usage
•
No
vibration
•
Cools with little noise- the only noise produced is by the fans used to
dissipate heat.
What are some of its limitations?
•
Cooling takes longer than with equivalent compressor-based units- you
must allow 24 hours or more for the unit to reach its lowest temperature
•
Fans run constantly
•
Units are more sensitive to ambient temperature, sunlight conditions,
and potentially loading conditions- they may not cool to their theoretical
minimum temperature under adverse conditions
