INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
¾BEFORE USING YOUR WINE CHILLER
•Remove the exterior and interior packing. Read the Installer’s Directions.
•Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
•5 Roll-out Shelves
•1 Small Bottom Shelf
•2 Keys
•1 Stainless Steel Handle Assembly with 2 Screws, 2 Flat Washers and 2 Lock Washers
•1 Door Lower Hinge Bracket for Door Opening from the Right Side
•1 Instruction Manual
•Before connecting the Wine Chiller to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2
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.
¾INSTALLATION OF YOUR WINE CHILLER
•This appliance is designed to be for free standing installation or built-in (fully recessed).
•Place your Wine Chiller on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To
level your Wine Chiller, adjust the front leveling leg at the bottom of the Wine Chiller.
•Locate the Wine Chiller 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. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform
properly.
•Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
•Plug the Wine Chiller into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an
authorized Avanti Products service center.

¾ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
aWarninga
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is
damaged, have it replaced by an authorized Avanti Products service center.
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the
possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also
prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never
unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly 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 that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
¾EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, 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 rating of the cord be 115 volts and at
least 10 amperes.
¾REVERSING THE DOOR SWING OF YOUR APPLIANCE
This appliance has the capability of the door opening from either the left or right side. The unit is
delivered to you with the door opening from the left side. Should you desire to reverse the opening
direction, please call service for reversal instructions.

Las superficies refrigeradas del compartimiento para vinos se descongela automáticamente, durante
el ciclo “apagado” del control de enfriamiento (termostato). El agua descongelada del compartimiento
es eliminada automáticamente, encauzándola hacia una bandeja de goteo ubicado en el compresor.
La transferencia de calor del compresor evapora el agua.
ADVERTENCIA
Asegúrese de tener la puerta abierta completamente se Ud desea remover los estantes de madera o
moverlos hacia adelante para extraer una botella.
NOTA:
Para remover los estantes de madera corredizos, mueva cada uno de ellos aproximadamente una
tercera parte fuera de los raíles.
Presione el lado plástico derecho usando un destornillador plano (siga la flecha) como se muestra en
el dibujo “A” de la página 14 y a la misma vez haga lo mismo con el plástico del lado izquierdo como
se muestra en el dibujo “B” de la página 14.
Saque el estante corredizo suavemente.

CORTE DE CORRIENTE
La mayoría de los cortes de corriente se corrigen en una o dos horas y no afectarán las temperaturas
de su vinera. Sin embargo, Ud. deberá reducir la cantidad de veces que abra la puerta cuando la
corriente esté apagada.
SI UD. SE MUDA
Saque o asegure todos los artículos dentro de su vinera. Para evitar que los tornillos nivelantes se
averíen, gírelos completamente hacia la base.
Algunas reglas importantes para el uso correcto de la vinera.
•Las bebidas se deben guardar en botellas cerradas.
•No sobrecargue el compartimiento interior.
•No abra la puerta a menos que sea necesario.
•Si la vinera se guardara sin uso por períodos largos, se sugiere que, luego de una limpieza
cuidadosa, se deje la puerta entreabierta para permitir que el aire circule dentro de la caja y evitar
una posible formación de condensación, moho u olores.
•Nunca cubra los estantes del compartimiento para vinos con papel de aluminio o cualquier otro
material para cubrir estantes que puedan obstruir la circulación del aire.
