IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
BEFORE USE, PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
THIS WINE COOLER
•Do not use if the power supply cord is damaged. If damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or a similarly qualified person.
•This wine cooler is not intended for use by young children without
supervision. Young children must be supervised to ensure they do not
play with the appliance.
•Ensure the cooler is unplugged before cleaning or if not in use.
•To clean the cooler use only mild detergents or glass cleaning
products. Never use harsh detergents or solvents.
•It is not recommended to use this wine cooler with an extension cord or
power strip. Please ensure that the appliance is plugged directly into
the electrical outlet.
•When positioning the wine cooler, ensure that there is at least a 2”
clearance at the sides and a 4” clearance at the back of the cooler.
This will allow for adequate ventilation of heat from the back of the
cooler.
•This cooler is designed to store wine bottles. If food is placed inside,
ensure that there is sufficient airflow between items. Also note that the
temperature range for this cooler is optimized for wine and beverage
storage. Perishable food items may require a different storage
environment.
•Do not place hot food or drinks into the wine cooler before they cool
down to room temperature.
•Close the cooler door immediately after putting in any items so the
inside temperature will not rise dramatically.
•Avoid subjecting the cooler to external heat sources or direct sunlight.
•For a stable installation, make sure the cooler is placed on a flat, level,
and solid surface.
•Make sure that the surface on which the wine cooler is placed is strong
enough to hold the wine cooler once it is fully loaded with wine bottles.
•Do not place any other appliances on top of the wine cooler.
•The wine cooler is an electrical appliance. To avoid injury or death from
electrical shock, do not operate the wine cooler with wet hands, while
standing on a wet surface, or while standing in water.
•Do not use outdoors or in wet or moist conditions.
•Do not turn the cooler upside down, on its side, or 45° or more off level.
•Never pull the power cord to disconnect it from the outlet. Grasp the
plug and pull it from the outlet.
•Never lift or carry the wine cooler by the power cord.
•Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
•This wine cooler is designed for household, non-commercial use only.
2
•Do not plug this cooler into the power socket before set up is completed.

•An empty cooler can be dangerous for children. If disposing of the
cooler remove gaskets, latches, lids and the entire door from your
unused appliance, or take other action to ensure that children cannot
become trapped inside.
•If your model of wine cooler is equipped with a lock, take care to keep
the keys away from children.
•Do not cut or remove the third prong (the grounding prong) from the
power cord.
•The cord should be secured behind the unit and should not be left
exposed or dangling.
•Do not move this cooler without emptying it of its contents and securing
the door in a closed position.

3. Installation
•Remove all exterior and interior packaging materials before use.
•Check that you have all parts and copy of instruction manual.
•Place your wine cooler on a flat, dry surface, strong enough to support
the unit when fully loaded.
•The unit is designed to be built-in (recessed) or free standing.
•Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.
•The unit is not designed for installation in a garage or basement.
•Do not place in direct sunlight or near sources of heat. Extreme hot and
cold temperatures may cause the unit to perform improperly, increase
electrical consumption, or cause damage.
•Do not place next to a major appliance that emits large amounts of
heat. (Such as ovens, microwaves, dishwashers, etc.)
•Do not share unit with the same outlet as a refrigerator or microwave.
•Before connecting to the power source, let the unit stand upright for
approximately 24 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction
in the cooling system from handling during shipping and transportation.
•Gently clean the unit’s interior surface with warm water, using a soft
cloth before first use.
4. Operation
1. Carefully slide the racks in the wine cellar.
2. Determine the best temperature setting to use for your wine.

5. Temperature Control
Preset temperature control:
This unit is factory programmed at ‘storing’ temperature.
The manufacturer presets the temperature for the upper
three shelves (white wines) at 48°F (9°C). The red wines
are stored on the lower three shelves, where the
temperature is preset at 56°F (13°C).
Manual temperature control:
To manually adjust temperature, press the ( - ) button on
the control panel to decrease, and the ( + ) button to
increase by 1degree inside the unit. The upper three
shelves (white wines) have a range from 45°F (7°C) to
54°F (12°C), and the lower (red wines) have a range of
54°F (12°C) to 65°F (18°C).
When the temperature of the unit becomes too low, the
LED will display “LL”, likewise, when the temperature is
too high, it will display “HH”. The unit will display “ER” in
the event of an error or power disruption.
Important Note: This unit will operate best in a room with
a temperature of less than 90°F (32°C).
