Thermoelectric Precautions
This wine cooler uses thermoelectric technology rather than compression or absorption-types and there
are several issues that need attention:
Room temperature - The wine cooler needs to be located in a climate controlled room. The unit
will perform it’s best at a room temperature of approximately 72° to 77
℉
. It will not cool correctly
when the room temperature is higher than 90° or lower than 65°F.
Ventilation
– The wine cooler needs to be free standing. It should not be recessed or built in (fully
recessed.) Allow enough clearance (5”) at the rear and sides of the wine cooler to allow proper
ventilation. Lack of proper ventilation will have a negative impact on the performance of cooler.
Moisture
– The wine cooler may have some condensed water on the surface of the glass door if
opened constantly in a moist place. This moisture will drain into the condensate tray at the back
of the unit and may require emptying if excessive moisture is collected in a short period of time.
Finding a good spot for your wine cooler
Where you locate the wine cooler is critical to its performance. Follow these guidelines:
Install your wine cooler on a level surface that is strong enough to support it when fully loaded.
Allow 5 inches (15cm) of space at the rear and at both sides of the wine cooler to allow proper
ventilation.
This wine cooler is designed to be free standing only and should not be recessed or built-in (fully
recessed.)
Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.
Do not install the unit outside or in a moist place.
Do not install the wine cooler in direct sunlight or next to heat sources.
The unit’s cooling system operates at maximum efficiently with an ambient room temperature of
72° to 77
℉
. The interior temperature can be set between 44°F and 66°F and will be most accurate
in that temperature range.
