24 hours to reach the desired temperature.

ambient temperature range, it may have more
difficulty achieving a low internal temperature.
•
To achieve accurate temperature control, the unit
should not be used or operated in any of the following
locations:
o
In a sunny place, a room with poor air circulation
such as a garage or near another heat-producing
appliance such as a dishwasher, oven or
refrigerator.
o
With an outlet shared with a refrigerator, as the
refrigerator will drain power from the wine cellar.
•
Make sure the cooler has proper clearances at side and
rear and is located in a well-ventilated area.
•
Door is not closed tightly or is being opened too
frequently.
