OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Important: When using the wine cellar for
the first time, allow at least 48 hours for
the internal temperature to adjust properly.
Make sure there are at least 1 to 3 bottles
in both compartments.
ALWAYS REMOVE ALL BOTTLES
BEFORE MOVING THE WINE CELLAR.
USING YOUR WINE CELLAR
Place your wine cellar on a flat surface
that is strong enough to support it when
fully loaded.
Gently place/slide the racks into the
wine cellar.
Plug the power cord into a grounded 3 prong
outlet and the unit will turn on automatically
to the default setting.
Place bottles inside the cellar.
Determine the best setting to use: Refer
to the temperature guide for appropriate
serving temperatures (see page 8).
The unit’s cooling system operates efficiently
with an ambient temperature of less than
70°F (21°C).
PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
To assure that your wine cellar works
at the maximum efficiency it was designed
for, you should install it in a location where
there is proper air circulation and electrical
connections.
Allow 2 inches of space from a wall on both
sides and rear of the wine cellar to allow
proper ventilation.
To ensure proper internal air circulation, do
not overfill your wine cellar.
This wine cellar is designed to be
freestanding only, and should not be
recessed or built in (fully recessed).
NOTE: Allow enough space in the front of
the unit to open the door 120°.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Do not plug unit into the same outlet as a
refrigerator or microwave.
Make sure there is a suitable power outlet
(120 volts, 15 amps) with proper grounding to
power the wine cellar.
Avoid the use of three-prong plug adapters or
cutting off the grounding prong in order to
accommodate a two-prong outlet. This is a
dangerous practice since it provides no
effective grounding for the wine cellar and
may result in a shock hazard.
LEVELING YOUR WINE CELLAR
Your wine cellar has 4 leveling legs. After
properly placing your wine cellar in its final
position, you can level your wine cellar.
(Please note that the leg that stands on the
hinge is the shorter leg.)
Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning
them clockwise to raise the wine cellar or
by turning them counterclockwise to lower
the wine cellar.
INSTALLATION LIMITATIONS
Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.
Do not locate the unit in a moist place or
display in direct sunlight.
Do not place the unit next to a major
appliance that emits large amounts of heat,
such as a dishwasher, microwave, toaster
oven, oven or barbecue, etc.
Do not install your wine cellar in any location
not properly insulated or heated
(garage, etc.).
Select a suitable location for the wine cellar
on a hard, even surface away from direct
sunlight or heat source, e.g., radiators,
baseboard heaters, cooking appliances, etc.
Any surface unevenness should be corrected
with the leveling legs located on the front and
rear bottom corners of the wine cellar. Avoid
placing unit where there may be electrical
interference.
NOTE: To minimize the risk of rusting,
leakage and insulation damage, avoid
placing the unit where heavy moisture is
present. Under no circumstances spill or
directly apply water onto or into the unit.
