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.
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 at least 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 of the Wine Cooler .
•
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. Very 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-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.
•
The two handles are stored inside the unit. Install one on each door using the screws (supplied).
Defrosting
While it is running, the appliance defrosts itself every 8 hours. The defrosting process lasts about 30
minutes. The melt water collects in the evaporator drip tray where it evaporates automatically.
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 doors. This occurs when water
vapor from the air contacts the cold surface of the doors and the vapor condenses on the glass,
