DANGER!
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
appliances are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days”.
•
Before you throw away your old wine cooler or any appliance:
Remove the door.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
•
Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Appliance
•
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•
Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 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.
•
Install the handle on the left side of the door using the screws that are provided.
Installation of Your Appliance
•
This appliance is designed for free standing or built-in (fully recessed) installation. If free standing,
the unit should have at least 4” of clearance at both sides, at the top and at the back to allow for
adequate ventilation. If it is built-in, leave 3/16” at both sides, 1/16” at the top and 2” at the rear. Be
sure that airflow under the appliance is not blocked.
•
Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level
your appliance, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom.
•
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. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform
properly.
•
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
•
Plug the appliance 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 grounding should be directed toward a certified and authorized products
service center.
Defrosting
While it is running, the appliance defrosts itself automatically every 8 hours. The defrosting process
lasts about 30 minutes. The melt water collects in the evaporator drip tray where it evaporates.
During the process of defrosting, the displayed temperature may be higher than the set temperature.
NOTE: You may notice condensation on the outer surface of the glass door. This occurs when water
vapor from the air contacts the cold surface of the door and the vapor condenses on the glass,
causing a fogging effect. In extreme situations, water can even drip off the door, indicating
excessive humidity in the environment.
