Installation Instructions
BEFORE USE:
•
Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
•
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
•
This appliance is designed for freestanding use and is not intended for built-in applications.
•
Place the unit on a flat, solid floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level the
appliance, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom of the unit.
•
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. Extreme cold ambient
temperatures may also cause the unit to perform improperly. The optimal ambient temperature range is 50°F -
80°F (10°C - 26°C).
•
Avoid locating the unit in damp areas.
•
Plug the wine cellar 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 electrical grounding should be directed to a certified electrician or authorized products service center.
•
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 3 to 4 hours before placing wine
bottles in the appliance.
Operation Instructions
The wine cellar should be placed in an area where the ambient temperature range is between 50-80 degrees Fahrenheit
(10-26 degrees Celsius). If the ambient temperature is above or below this range, the performance of the unit may be
affected. For example, placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate.
The temperature may fluctuate depending on whether or not the interior light is on or off or whether the bottles are
located on the upper, middle or lower section.
Your Allavino Wine Cellar includes an operating panel on the front of the unit. The operating panel includes several
features to operate and control the temperature of the wine refrigerator, including:
Temp - Displays the desired temperature on an LED display for each temperature zone
Light - Turns the interior light on or off
Temperature Up Button - Adjusts the temperature of the wine cooler up one degree at a time
Temperature Down Button - Adjusts the temperature of the wine cooler down one degree at a time
Holding the Temperature Up and Temperature Down buttons simultaneously will switch the display from Celsius to
Fahrenheit.
This thermoelectric wine cooler is designed for maximum cooling of 25 degrees Fahrenheit below ambient temperature.
When the ambient temperature is around 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius) or less, the unit can maintain a
temperature range of 52-65 degrees Fahrenheit (11-18 degrees Celsius).
If you are going on vacation, you may leave the wine cellar operating during vacations of less than three weeks. If the
appliance will not be used for several months, you should remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the
interior thoroughly. To prevent mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
