WINE SHELVES
This wine refrigerator is equipped with 6 wooden removable shelves. To prevent damage to the door gasket,
ensure the door is opened completely before sliding the shelves out.
To easily access the stored wine bottles, pull the shelves approximately ⅓” out of the railing.
When removing the shelves from of the railing, make sure all items are first removed.
To remove any of the shelves from the rail compartment, move the shelf to the position where the notch
of shelf is exactly under the plastic post and then lift it up and out.
If the wine bottles are stored horizontally in the bottom section of the cabinet, ensure that the wire gate is
installed to secure and prevent bottles from rolling out.
A maximum number of 5 wooden shelves can be utilized if the bottom wooden display shelf is used.
STORAGE
Wine bottles may differ in size and dimensions so the actual number of bottles that can be stored may vary. The
34 bottle capacity is an approximate maximum when storing traditional 750 ml bottles and includes bulk stor-
age.
You may load your wine bottles in single row or by stacking while taking note of the following: if you do
not have enough bottles to fill your wine refrigerator, it is better to distribute the load throughout the wine
refrigerator so as to avoid “all on top” or “all below” type loads.
You can remove or relocate adjustable shelves to accommodate larger type of bottles.
Keep small gaps between the walls and the bottles to allow air circulation.
Do not cover any part of the shelves with aluminum foil or any other material that will prevent ade-
quate air circulation within the cabinet.
Do not over load your wine refrigerator.
Avoid obstructing the internal fan (located inside on the top panel of the wine refrigerator).
Do not try to slide the shelves outwards beyond the fixed position to prevent the bottles from falling.
Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time as this may cause the wine refrigerator to tilt for-
ward if not properly installed.
INSTALLING STAINLESS STEEL HANDLES
This appliance includes stainless steel handles that are not

please follow the below instructions:
1. The gaskets are easily displaced by hand, no tools are
necessary.
