LEVELING:
Thewineandbeveragerefrigeratorshouldbeinstalledonafirmandlevelsurfacethatwillbeableto
supporttheentireweightofafullyloadedunit.Itisimportantforthewineandbeveragerefrigeratortobe
leveledinordertoworkproperly.Itcanberaisedorloweredbyrotatingtheplasticsheathsaroundeachof
thefeetonthebottomofthemachine.Ifyoufindthatthesurfaceisnotlevel,rotatethefeetuntilthewine
andbeveragerefrigeratorbecomeslevel.Youmayneedtomakeseveraladjustmentstolevelit.We
recommendusingacarpenter’sleveltocheckthemachine.Turnthelevelingfeetclockwisetolowerthat
sideoftherefrigerator.Turnthelevelingfeetcounterclockwisetoraisethatsideoftherefrigerator.

InternalLight

Thisrefrigeratorisequippedwithtopandsideinternallightsthatcanbesettoablueorwhitecolor.
Becausetheunitcomeswithaglassdoor,theinsidewillbeseenwhetherthedoorisopenorclosed.You
canchoosetodisplayeachcoloroflightintwodifferentmodes:ConstantModeandAutomaticMode.
ConstantMode
Theinternallightswillstayconstantlyilluminatedwhetherthedoorisopenorclosed.
AutomaticMode
Theinternallightswillilluminateeachtimethedoorisopenedandfadeoffoncethedoorisclosed.This
featureistriggeredbyasensorlocatedonthefrontvent.Thissensorallowstherefrigeratortorecognize
whenthedoorisopenorclosed.

Defrosting

Therefrigeratorwillautomaticallydefrostundermosttemperaturesettingsandambientconditions.However,
oncoldersettings,somefrostmaybuildup.Additionally,undermorehumidambientconditions,morefrost
maybuildup.Keepthedoorclosedasmuchaspossibleandavoidopeningthedoorunnecessarilytominimize
frostbuild‐up.
Iffrostispreventingthedoorfromclosingproperly,youmayneedtopowertheunitoffuntilthefrostmelts.

•Rattlingnoisesmaycomefromtheflowoftherefrigerantorthewaterline.
•Itemsstoredontopofthewineandbeveragerefrigeratorcanalsomakenoises.
•Thehighefficiencycompressormaymakeapulsatingorhigh‐pitchedsound.
•Theinternalfanwillrunfrequentlytocreateaconsistentinternaltemperatureenvironment.
•Waterrunningfromtheevaporatortothewaterbinmaymakeasplashingsound.
•Aseachcycleends,youmayhearagurglingsoundduetotherefrigerantflowinginyourwineand
