Troubleshooting Tips
•The bottles on the top full extension drawer, directly under the light, will be exposed to a slightly higher temperature when the light is on. Position your wines accordingly and remember to turn off the light when it is no longer needed.
•Keep wines that you plan to use for everyday drinking and entertaining on the front half of the full extension drawers where labels are completely visible. Place wines for aging or longer term storage in the rear.
•Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the wine chiller full extension drawers. They could seriously injure themselves and possibly cause damage to the wine chiller.
