INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Wine Cooler
To Install Stainless Steel Handle
• Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
o 14 Beech Shelves
o 2 Keys
o Stainless Steel Handle
o Instruction Manual
o 2 Extra Screws for Installing Handle
• IMPORTANT: Before connecting this wine cooler to a power source, let it
stand upright for approximately 24 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.
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 on to step 3 to replace the door gasket to its original position.

Controls
To Install Your Wine Cooler
• This wine cooler is designed for free standing 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 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.
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 qualified
technician.
After plugging the wine cooler into a wall outlet, the cooler would turn on
automatically and the LCD screen would show the temperature inside of the
cooler. After setting your desired serving temperature, allow the cooler to
cool down for 3 to 4 hours before placing wine bottles in the wine cooler.
• 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
115 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.

Recommended Temperature Settings
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Storing wines at the proper temperature is important. To preserve them as
long as possible, wine needs to be stored at approximately 55° Fahrenheit.
However, the chart below suggests the optimal drinking temperature for the
different varietal of wine.
This wine cooler is designed to store standard Bordeaux 750 ml wine bottles.
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.
Storage
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.
Power failure
Leave the wine cooler running for less than three weeks on vacation. 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.
Vacation Time
- 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.
Moving 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.
Cleaning Your Wine Cooler
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.
Door Lock
This wine cooler is equipped with a sliding rail assembly 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.
Beech Shelves
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
- The cooler should be located in the coolest area of the room away from
heat sources or direct 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.
Energy saving tips
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.
