Adjusting the Temperature
Operation
• The controller will lock after 10 seconds of no use. To unlock controller, hold the unlock button for 5 seconds
until there is a beep. If this does not work, unplug the unit and plug it back in. If the controller still does not
allow you to adjust temperature, the digital controller is the problem.
1. To turn the appliance on or o, press and hold
the Power button for 3 seconds.
NOTE: If the unit is unplugged, loses power, or is
turned o, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit. If you do not wait 3 to 5
minutes, the wine cooler will not start.
1. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to set the temperature.
When you press the two buttons for the first time,
the LED readout will show the original temperature
set at factory settings (41°F (5°C)).
2. The temperature will increase or decrease by 1°F or
1°C for each button press.
3. Each cooling compartment of the wine cooler is
independently controlled. In the event of a power
interruption, all previous temperature settings are
automatically saved and each compartment will
keep the previous temperature setting.
1. To switch the temperature display from Celsius to
Fahrenheit or vice versa, press the °F/°C button.
1. To turn the internal LED lighting on or o, press
the Light button.
• The keys to the door lock are located inside the
plastic bag that contains the User Manual.
• Remove the key and place it in a secure place for
safekeeping.
• Coils are kept below the freezing point (32°F).
• During compressor downtime, the evaporator fan
continues to circulate air through the evaporator coil.
This air circulation raises the coil temperature above
the freezing point, melting any accumulated frost.
• Run-o water is drained into the evaporator pan and
evaporated.
1. The temperature display window will show the
actual temperature inside the machine.
NOTE: Actual temperatures of product may fluctuate
depending on a number of factors:
• If the interior light is on or o.
• The location of the product in the upper/middle
lower section.
• The amount of times the door is opened.
NOTE: When you use the wine cooler for the first
time or restart the unit after having been shut o
for a long time, there could be a few degrees of
variance between the temperature you select and
the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal
and it is due to the length of the activation time.
Once the wine cooler is running for a few hours,
everything will be back to normal.

Loading Product
Layout & Storage
• DO NOT block the air duct/fan at the top of the unit. Always maintain a minimum of 4" of clearance between
products and the fan.
• Ensure all accessories are sitting level and properly secured before loading products.
• In order to save energy, limit the number of times the door is opened and the length of time the lid is open.
• DO NOT store flammable and explosive gas or liquids inside the unit.
Your cabinet was designed to be flexible to adapt to
your storage requirements. To optimize loading, follow
the following tips:
• Spread your bottles out as evenly as possible over
the shelves so that the weight is not concentrated
in one point.
• Ensure your bottles do not touch the back of the
cabinet or the step at the bottom.
• Ensure bottles are not grouped together at the top
or bottom of the cabinet.
• Lay the bottles one row face forward and stagged
with another row facing back to maximize capacity.
• Larger bottles like Pinot or Champagne may aect
maximum capacity.
• DO NOT try to pull out more than one sliding shelf
at a time.

Cleaning the Condenser Coil
Cleaning the Condenser Coil Instructions
• A dusty condenser may lead to high energy consumption, less cooling eectiveness, and compressor damage.
• For ecient operation, keep the condenser surface free of dust, dirt, and lint.
• We recommend cleaning the condenser coil at least once per month.
• The condenser coil is located at the bottom behind the panel.
1. Disconnect the electrical power from the unit.
2. Remove the front cover and base cover with a screwdriver.
3. Using a soft brush and/or vacuum, remove the dirt, lint, etc. from the finned condenser coil in a vertical
direction.
4. Clean the condenser with a commercial condenser coil cleaner, available from any kitchen equipment
retailer. Ex. Noble Chemical Tech Line Coil Cleaners (148TLECCCLNR, 148TLHDCCLNR, 148TLECOILDD,
148TLFMCCLNR, 147TLEVPCLNR, or 147TLHDCCLNR).
5. After cleaning, straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin comb.
6. When finished, be sure to reinstall the front cover and base cover.
7. Reconnect the electrical power to the unit.
