TRANSPORT

Use two or more people to move the wine and beverage center. Do NOT use a stainless steel handle to move or lift the unit.

VENTILATION SPACE

In order for the wine and beverage center to function efficiently, it MUST be placed in an adequately ventilated space to allow for heat dissipation. It is important to allow at least 2 inches (50 mm) of space on each side and above the unit, and 4 inches (100 mm) of space behind the unit.

The door requires approximately 22 inches (558 mm) of space in front of the wine and beverage center to open. To fully utilize the unit, space should be allowed for the door to open fully to 160º.

STABLE SURFACE

The wine and beverage center must be placed on a flat, stable surface. Adjust the unit’s front leveling legs to ensure quiet operation and prevent rattling when the compressor activates.

INSTALLATION

POWER SUPPLY

This wine cooler is equipped with a 115V/60Hz single-phase motor. If the power supply to the unit is subject to large fluctuations, it is strongly advised to utilize a wall-mounted power conditioner surge protection device to prevent damage to the electronic components and motor. The power plug is a standard grounded three-prong non-polarized flush mount, which allows for easier connection to power outlets. Power plug must be connected to the outlet directly, and never to an extension cord.

POWER CORD

Never shorten or lengthen the power cord. Do not fold or coil the power cord.

IMPORTANT – Never place the excess length of power cord into the compressor enclosure in the back of the wine cooler. This action creates a dangerous heat build-up which can melt the cord, cause an electrical hazard and may potentially cause a fire. Touching the power cord to the compressor at the back of the unit during operation can create an electrical hazard and damage the compressor.

If the power cord is damaged, it must immediately be replaced by a trained service provider, as special  tools are required.

CLEAN BEFORE USE

To remove any manufacturing dust and residual odors, wipe the wine cooler inside and out with a damp cloth and a solution of baking soda and warm water (2 tbsp. baking soda to 1 qt. water). Wipe away any residual baking soda with a clean moist cloth. Allow to dry before operating. Periodically clean the wine cooler with a sponge or cloth moistened with mild soapy water, or baking soda and water.

PROTECT FROM MOISTURE

Heavy moisture in the environment can cause degradation to the insulation, as well as rust to the
cabinet, compressor and/or power supply. Do not spray the wine cooler with water.

PROTECT FROM HEAT

Place the wine cooler away from heat source or direct sun. The hotter the operating environment, the harder the compressor has to work to keep the contents cold, which will shorten the operating life. Do not cover the wine cooler with tarps or other items while operating, as this may cause overheating.

INSTALLATION

HANDLE INSTALLATION

1. Locate the two mounting studs protruding from the exterior stainless steel door frame.
2. Align the stainless steel handle door handle with the mounting studs. Make sure the holes in the mounting bracket are facing down.
3. Insert the included set screws into the holes. Use the included Allen key to tighten both the top and
   bottom mounts.
4. Take care to not overtighten the set screws to prevent damage to the mount or door.

USING YOUR WINE COOLER

The wine cooler is designed for the storage of wine. After connecting the wine cooler to a wall outlet, you will immediately hear a short beep. Use the ∧ and ∨ buttons to set the set the desired temperature.
Fahrenheit range: 33º – 50ºF Celsius range: 1º – 10ºC.

NOTE: Press the “light” and “power” buttons simultaneously for two seconds to convert the thermostat
display between Fahrenheit and Celsius.

After setting the desired temperature, the thermostat displays the current temperature inside the wine cooler. As the cooler chills over several hours, the display adjusts to reflect the interior temperature. Allow the wine cooler to completely chill to the specified temperature prior to adding wine. To ensure proper cooling, do not overload the unit. Press and hold the “power” button for three seconds to turn the cooler off.

LED LIGHT

The LED automatically turns on and off each time the door is opened or closed.

STOCKING YOUR WINE COOLER

The wine cooler accommodates 45 standard wine bottles. To accommodate all 45 bottles, position the wood shelves and stock the wine as illustrated below. Due to air circulation, temperatures may vary slightly within the cooler. Typically, the upper shelves may exhibit warmer temperatures, while the lower shelves exhibit cooler temperatures.

SHUTDOWN

If the wine cooler will not be in use for a long period of time, disconnect it from the power outlet, clean the inside thoroughly, and leave the door open to prevent mildew.

SAFETY WARNING

The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. This wine cooler should not be positioned within a recessed or enclosed cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only. This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV, garage, or any outside installation. The surface of the compressor may become hot during normal operation. Do not touch it as this may cause injury.

OTHER DANGERS

Keep the wine cooler away from any combustible or volatile liquids or gases, including gasoline, oil, alcohol, paint, paint thinners and solvents. Such chemicals should never be stored in the unit.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

It is important to periodically clean and maintain the wine cooler. When performing maintenance, make certain the unit is unplugged from the power outlet.

Wipe the inner and outer surfaces of the wine cooler clean with a damp cloth. If needed, use gentle detergent or a solution of baking soda and water. Remove any residue with clean water and a soft cloth, then dry with another cloth.

Once clean, you may use a common kitchen appliance wax on outer surfaces. Inspect, clean and maintain the rubber gasket around the door. A small amount of petroleum jelly applied to the bracket side of the gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and ensure a good seal.
