Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
Check to ensure you have all of the following parts:
16 Wood Shelves
22 Keys
3Stainless Steel Handle
4Instruction Manual
52 Extra Screws for Installing Handle
IMPORTANT: Before connecting this Wine cooler to a power source, let it stand upright for
approximately 24 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system
from handling during transportation.
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Install the handle on the left side of the door.
To Install Stainless Steel Handle
1) Pull away the door gasket in the area where the handle is to be installed, as Illustration #1.
The gasket is easily removed by hand, no tools are necessary.
2) Align the handle with the preinstalled screws on the door frame. Tighten the screws with a
screwdriver until the handles secure tightly against the door frame, as Illustration #2. (Do NOT
over tighten as this will cause damage to the handle assembly).
3) Replace the door gasket to its original position.
Note: This Wine cooler includes stainless steel handles that are not required to operate this
Wine cooler. If you choose not to use the handle supplied, simply follow step 1 to access the
pre-installed screws and remove them and then place 2 decorative plugs (NOT included) into

To Install Your Wine Cooler
This Wine cooler is designed for free standing or built-in (fully recessed) installation.
Place your Wine cooler on a solid and level floor that is strong enough to support it when it is
fully loaded. This will ensure a vibration-free and noise-free operation. Adjust the leveling
legs in and out to stabilize the cooler horizontally. If the legs are not properly adjusted, the
cooler may be unstable and result in excess noise or vibration.
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. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the cooler not to perform
properly.
It is not advisable to install this cooler in moist areas or directly adjacent to a kitchen sink, as
moisture could cause premature corrosion to the components of your new cooler.
It is recommended you install the Wine cooler in a place with temperatures above 60°F (15°C)
and below 90°F (32°C), and humidity is under 60%. If the ambient temperature is above or
below recommended temperatures, the performance of the cooler may be affected. Placing
your cooler in extremely cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate,
and the temperature range of 5°C-18°C (40°F-65°F) may not be reached.
Connect the Wine cooler to an exclusive, properly grounded, standard electrical supply (115
V AC only, 60 Hz), in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a
certified electrician or an authorized products service center.

WARNING：Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the
power cord is damaged,replaced it by an authorized service center.
The Wine cooler should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a
voltage rating that matches the rating label on the Wine cooler. This provides the best
performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire
hazard from overheated.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord
supplied.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug. However, if you must use an extension cord, it
is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding type Wine cooler extension
cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord is 10
amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
If the Wine cooler 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 Wine cooler it is connected to. Damages due to
power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your product
warranty.

Red Wines 59°F-65ºF 14°C- 18ºC
Storage
This wine cooler is designed to store standard Bordeaux 750 ml wine bottles. Many bottles differ
in size and dimensions. Therefore, the actual number of bottles you may be able to store may
vary. Storing large and/or oddly shaped bottles (including champagne and sparkling wine bottles)
will decrease the capacity of your wine cooler.

out and in smoothly.
The slide-out shelves allow bottles of wine to be viewed and removed more easily. Any of the

10
shelves can be removed to store larger bottles.
To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure to have the door all the way opened when
pulling shelves out of the rail compartment. For easy access to the bottles, you may need to pull
the shelves approximately 1/3 out of the rail compartment.
