INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Wine Cooler
•
•
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Before connecting the wine cooler to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4
hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper
handling during transportation.
•
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. (Cleaning instruction on page 7)
Installing Your Wine Cooler
•
•
This wine cooler is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the wine cooler, which allows the proper
air ventilation. Adjust the feet to keep the wine cooler level.
•
Locate the wine cooler 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. Ambient temperature below 55°F (12.8°C) or above 77°F (25°C) will hinder the
performance of this appliance. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or any other
outside installation.
•
•
Avoid locating the wine cooler in moist areas.
Plug the wine cooler into dedicated, 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 electrician or an
authorized service center. This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV or used with an
inverter.
•
After plugging the wine cooler into a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the unit to cool down for
3 ~ 4 hours under before placing wine bottles or beverages in the appliance.

Electrical Connection
aWARNINGa
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is
damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.
This wine cooler should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this wine cooler is
equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the
possibility of electrical shock.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
This wine cooler requires a standard 115 Volt A.C. /60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
This wine cooler is not designed to be used with an inverter.
The cord should be secured behind the wine cooler and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.
Never unplug the wine cooler by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight
out from the receptacle.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can
negatively affect the performance of the unit.
If any problems with the wine cooler persist, please contact our Customer Service Dept. to consult

temperature. The temperature control is located on
the top center of the wine cooler compartment.
•
The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the
temperature control knob to “7” and run for at least
2 hours before putting wine bottles inside. This will
ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before
wine bottle is stored.
•
•
The range of the wine cooler temperature control is from position "1" the warmest to "7" the
coldest. Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs.
-
-
The setting of “2” is recommended for storage of red wines.
The setting of “6” is recommended for storage of white wines.
To turn off the wine cooler, please turn the temperature control knob to “0”. Please note that
turning the temperature control knob to “0” position stops the cooling cycle, but does not
disconnect the power supply to the wine cooler.
WARNING: Do not set the temperature control to setting of “7” position for longer than 8 hours.
If the unit is unplugged, loses power; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you
attempt to restart before this time delay, the wine cooler will not start.

increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between

located above the compressor, from where it evaporates.
