Check shipping carton for any exterior damage before acceptance. Note any damage on
the shipping document before signing. The trucking company's insurance covers damage by them.
Remove shipping carton and packing material (except pallet). Open the door and remove
the plastic bag containing the casters/levelers. Tilt the cellar toward the back slightly and screw the
front casters all the way in, then tilt the cellar toward the front and screw the back casters all the way
in.
Remove the wooden pallet used for shipping (we recommend this be done with two
people). If needed, adjust cellar by screwing casters back out as necessary to align the doors.
Move the cellar to the desired location.
Leave at least 6" between the back of the
cellar and the wall. 3" for top exhaust units. These wine cellars are free standing units
and are not designed to be built in.
The cellar is ready to plug into a 115v grounded outlet. We
recommend a dedicated circuit but it is not essential. Extension cords are not recommended.
After plugging cellar in, open door to make sure the cooling unit is working. The
cooling unit may not start if the room is below 65F. The duration of on and off periods will vary by
the temperature and conditions of your environment . If you have any problems see the
TROUBLE
SHOOTING CHART
.
IMPORTANT! do not attempt to open the cooling unit, any tampering
with the cooling unit will void the warranty.
The cooling unit is factory set for approximately 55F. The recommended aging temperature
for both red and white wine is 53-57F. Close the door and allow the unit to run for 24 hours. If the
temperature is too cold, turn the adjusting screw counter clock wise to make the unit warmer. If
the temperature is too warm turn the screw clock wise to make it cooler. Make very small adjustments.
Allow several hours for the unit to adapt after making a adjustment. DO NOT TURN UNIT ALL THE
WAY TO THE COLDEST POSITION, AS THIS WILL CAUSE THE UNIT TO ICE UP AND STOP
COOLING.

cooling units use the latest technology, which provides the maximum
efficiency of cooling unit operation.

units also use
ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE R134A.
LOADING;
The wine cellar works most efficiently when loaded to capacity. The bottles
act as a thermal mass, which stabilizes the temperature. To minimize handling and movement,
we recommend you keep your most valuable wines in the double depth locations (close to the
back wall). Begin loading your wines into the cellar starting from the bottom and moving up. The
stacking space above the rack is for additional wine storage plus odd and large size bottles. do not
place any bottles directly under the cold airflow from the cooling unit. As this could cause the unit
to ice up.
