INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING YOUR WINE CHILLER
•Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
•5 Roll-out Shelves
•1 Small Bottom Shelf
•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.
INSTALLATION OF YOUR WINE CHILLER
•This appliance is designed to be for built-in, recessed or free standing installation.
•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 legs 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 protective 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.
•Do not let anything cover or obstruct the ventilation grilles.
•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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
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.
EXTENSION 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.
SURGE PROTECTOR
Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are
very susceptible to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.
If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power surges /
outages; it is suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices / appliances
you use. The surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the
appliance it is connected to. If you have any questions regarding the type and size of surge
protector needed contact a licensed electrician in your area.
Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void
your product warranty.
Warning
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.

DESCONGELACION
Su refrigerador para vinos ha sido diseñado con un sistema de descongelación de “ciclo
automático”.
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 si 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 11 y a la misma vez haga lo mismo con el plástico del lado izquierdo
como se muestra en el dibujo “B” de la página 11.
Saque el estante corredizo suavemente.
CUIDADO Y MANTENIMIENTO

más largas;
(a) saque todas las botellas,
(b) desconecte la vinera del tomacorriente,
(c) limpie bien el refrigerador para vinos,
(d) deje la puerta abierta para evitar la formación de condensación, moho u olores.
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.
