Operating Instructions

Important: When using the wine cellar for the ﬁrst time, allow at least 24 hours for the internal temperature to adjust properly. Make sure there are at least 3 to 5 bottles in the unit.

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 in the wine cellar.

Plug the power cord into a standard electrical 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 7).

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" of space 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 third grounding prong in order to accommodate a two plug 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 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 in a place where heavy moisture is present. Under no circumstances spill or directly apply water onto or into the unit.
