Safety Tips
Before using this appliance, it must be properly posioned and installed as described in this manual, so please
read carefully. To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock or injury when using this appliance, follow these basic
precauons.
• The wine cooler is designed to be xed on the wall. If it is not xed on the wall, the machine can easily
p over, resulng in personal injury or death.
• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground
prong from the power cord supplied, do not use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord.
• It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your appliance be used. Do not use outlets that
can be turned o by a switch or pull chain.
• Never clean appliance parts with ammable uids and do not store or use gasoline or other ammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a re hazard or
explosion.
• Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in
electrical shock or death.
• Do not aempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specically recommended in
this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualied technician.
• Use two or more people to move and install appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other
injury.
• To ensure proper venlaon for your appliance, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed.
Choose a well-venlated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below 90°F (32°C). This unit
must be installed in an area protected from the element, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
• The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat sources or in areas of
extreme cold.
• The appliance must be installed in accordance with state and local codes. A standard electrical supply
(115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the Naonal Electrical Code and local
ordinances is required.
• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of appliance.
• The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.
• It is important for the appliance to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several
adjustments to level it.
• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance. Child entrapment and
suocaon are not just problems of the past, junked or abandoned appliances are sll dangerous.
When no longer using your old wine cellar, take o the door and leave the shelves in place so that
children may not climb inside easily.
• Do not use solvent-based cleansers or abrasives on the interior as they may damage or discolor the
interior.

Installation Instructions
• Because of potenal safety hazards under certain condions, it is strongly recommended that you
do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having
a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rang of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10
amperes.
• If the appliance is going to be used in an area that is prone to power surges/outages, it is suggested
that you use a power surge protector. The surge protector that you select must have a surge block high
enough to protect the appliance it is connected to. Damages due to power surges are not considered a
manufacturer covered defect and will void your product warranty.
• The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not le exposed or dangling to prevent accidental
injury. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug rmly and pull
straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become
frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord with cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at
either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
• Do not use this apparatus for other than its intended purpose.
• California Proposion 65 Warning: This product may contain a substance known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproducve harm.
Failure to heed these safety warnings may result in extensive product damage, serious personal injury, or
death.
BEFORE USE:
• Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
• Before connecng the unit to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours. This will
reduce the possibility of a malfuncon in the cooling system from handling during transportaon.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a so cloth.
• Install handles.
• This appliance is designed for free standing or built-in (fully recessed) installaon.
• Place the unit on a at, solid oor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level the
appliance, adjust the front leveling leg at the boom of the unit.
• When moving your wine cellar, please do not incline it more than 45 degrees.
• Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct
sunlight may aect the acrylic coang and heat sources may increase electrical consumpon. Extreme
cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit to perform improperly. The opmal ambient
temperature range is 32°F - 100°F.
• The wine cellar should be placed in an area where the ambient temperature is less than 77 degrees
Fahrenheit and higher than the lowest temperature you want to store your wine. If the ambient
temperature is lower than the set temperature, the internal temperature will match the ambient
temperature.
• Avoid locang the unit in damp areas.
• Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any quesons concerning
power and/or electrical grounding should be directed to a cered electrician or authorized products
service center.
• Aer plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 3 to 4 hours before
placing wine boles in the appliance.

Setting Temperature
This Allavino refrigerator has a wide enough temperature range to store red, white, or sparkling wine.
Dierent varietals of wine require dierent temperature sengs. Red wine is generally stored between 50 and
65 degrees Fahrenheit, while white wines are stored between 40 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit. White wine can
be stored at red wine temperatures for a short period of me (less than three months), and ash chilled before
serving.
You can set the temperature as you desire by touching the + or - buon. When you touch the buons for the
rst me, the LED readout will show the original temperature set at the manufacturing facility. Each push
of the buon will adjust the temperature by one degree in the desired direcon. Please be aware that the
desired temperatures may uctuate depending on whether the interior light is ON or OFF and depending on
the orientaon of the boles.

Wall Bracket Installation
Posion the unit in the desired locaon. Using a stud nder, locate the wall studs behind the unit and
mark on the wall the locaon where the bracket and the unit line up with the stud.
Using the marks as your guides, mount the wall bracket to the wall using the provided bronze screws (1).
If you don’t have a stud nder, or if there aren’t any studs available in your ideal locaon, you will need to
rst install the yellow rubber expansion plugs into the dry wall to anchor the screws in place (2).
Once the wall bracket has been mounted, remove the two screws located at the top back of the unit (3).
Align the back of the unit with the wall bracket and reinsert the screws back into place through the
wall bracket slots (4).

Racking Conguration
Disperse your boles evenly throughout the unit so as not to concentrate weight in any one area. This also
helps to provide an even temperature range throughout the unit. Make sure that boles are not all grouped
together either at the top or boom of the cabinet. Never try to pull out more than one sliding shelf at a me
as it can cause the appliance to p forward.
The shelves are removable to help with cleaning and maintenance. To remove a shelf, pull it out as far as you
can. There are levers on each side of the shelf near the rollers. Li the lever on the le hand side and push
down the lever on the right hand side to release the shelf from the tracks.
The Allavino wine refrigerator has 13 shelves that can hold up to 5 boles each, with a boom shelf that can
hold an extra 2 boles for a maximum bole capacity of 67 boles. The maximum capacity can be reached
with many dierent bole sizes and is only aected when adding larger Pinot or Champagne boles.
Induction of Opening the Door
1. When the le or right door is opened, the le or right fan stops running and the fan returns to normal
aer 1 minute. Aer 3 minutes, it will alarm. At this me, press any buon casually, the alarm will be
eliminated and return to the state of just opening the door. The alarm is eliminated aer 5 minutes.
