IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
This wine cooler complies with the applicable safety requirements and is safe for daily use.
However, basic safety precautions should always be followed when using an electrical appliance,
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.
Plug into its electrical outlet with a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the
cooler (115/120V AC only, 60Hz, 10A). Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by
a switch or pull chain. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into the receptacle.
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the
third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the wine cooler, plug or cord in water
or other liquids.
Never unplug the cooler by pulling the power cord. To disconnect the wine cooler, always
grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the wall outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Wine Cooler
Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
o6 Beech Shelves
o2 Keys
oStainless Steel Handle
oInstruction Manual
o2 Extra Screws for Installing Handle
IMPORTANT: Before connecting this wine cooler to a 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.
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 pre-installed 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 the
two holes separately. Continue to step 3 to replace the door gasket to its original position.

To Install Your Wine Cooler
This wine cooler is designed for freestanding 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 the 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 5ºC-18ºC (40ºF-65ºF) 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, have it replaced 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.

Storage
This wine cooler is designed to store 30 standard 750 ml wine bottles, including bulk storage.
Many bottles differ in size and dimensions. As such, 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.
Door Lock
This cooler can be secured with a lock and key. The keys are located inside the plastic bag that
contains the Instruction Manual. Insert the key into the lock and turn it clockwise to lock the
door, making sure the metal pin is engaged completely. To unlock the door, do the reverse.
Remove the key and put it in a secure location.
Beech Shelves
This wine cooler is equipped with a telescopic runner assembly (except for the bottom shelf) and
you can move the wooden shelves out and in smoothly.
The slide-out shelves allow bottles of wine to be viewed and removed more easily. Any of the
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.
To Remove a Sliding Shelf
1. Remove all bottles from the shelf.
2. Pull the shelf out as far as it will go.
3. Adjust the lever on each side of the shelf, as shown below (UP on the left, DOWN on the
right) and at the same time, pull the shelf out completely.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your Wine Cooler
IMPORTANT: Always unplug the cooler before cleaning or performing maintenance. Never use
harsh cleansers or scouring pads to clean any part of the cooler.
Turn off the power, unplug the wine cooler, and remove all items including shelves.
Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should
be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area near the controls,

or any electrical parts.
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and a mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and
wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Do not use steel wool or steel brush to rub the stainless
steel, which will contaminate the stainless steel with steel particles and rusting may
occur.
Power failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of
your wine cooler. If the power is off for an extended period of time, proper steps should be taken
to protect your contents.
Vacation Time
Leave the wine cooler operating during vacations of less than three weeks. For periods longer
than this, turn the wine cooler off and leave the door slightly ajar to prevent odor from building
inside the wine cooler.
Moving Your Wine Cooler
Remove all items (bottles) from the cooler;
Securely tape down any loose items, such as shelves, inside the cooler.
Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
Tape the door shut.
Ensure that the wine cooler stays securely in the upright position during transportation.
Protect the outside of the wine cooler with a blanket or a similar item.
Energy saving tips

sunlight.
- Ensure that the cooler is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.
- Only open the cooler door for as long as necessary. Frequent opening of the door will affect
internal temperature.
Charcoal filtration system
Your wine is a living object that breathes through the cork of its bottle. In order to preserve the
quality and taste of your fine wines, they must be stored at the ideal temperature and ambient
conditions. Your wine cooler is equipped with an active charcoal filtration system to ensure air
purity, cooling efficiency, and to maintain an odor free cabinet for the storage of your fine wines.
The filter assembly is located at the rear panel inside your wine cooler and it is suggested to be
changed every 12 months.
To replace the filter
1
Remove the bottles of wine stored on the two (2)
shelves in front of the filter.
Turn Left to remove filter.
2
Remove the shelves and set aside to be replaced
once you have changed the filter
3
Hold the filter and turn it at 45 degrees in the
counter-clockwise direction and then pull it out.
4
Remove the existing filter and replace with a new
one.
