Warnings related to electricity
Warnings related to use
The surrounding of the appliances or the embedded structure shall not be
obstructed while good ventilation shall be maintained.
10A
Please use a dedicated three-hole power socket which is 10A or more and
the power socket shall not be shared with other electrical appliances.
Worn or damaged power cord shall be replaced in
manufacture-authorized maintenance stations.
Do not damage the power cord under any condition so as to ensure safety
use, do not use when the power cord is damaged or the plug is worn.
The power cord should be firmly contacted with the socket or else fires
might be caused. Please ensure that the grounding electrode of the
power socket is equipped with a reliable grounding line.
Damaged power cord must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
maintenance department or related professionals in order to avoid
danger.

Do not pull the power cord when pulling the power plug of the wine cooler.
Please firmly grasp the plug and pull out it from the socket directly.
Authorized demolition or renovation of the cooler is not prohibited. It is
forbidden to damage the refrigerant lines and ejecting refrigerant may
cause eye injury or self-ignition, the repair and maintenance of the cooler
must be carried out by professionals.
The gaps between cooler doors and between doors and cooler body are
small, be noted not to put your hand in these areas to prevent squeezing
the finger. Please be gentle when switching off the cooler door to avoid
falling articles.
Do not pick foods or containers in the freezing chamber when the cooler
is running, especially metal containers in order to avoid frostbite.
The wine cooler machine uses AC power supply of 220V~240V/50 Hz. If the voltage
fluctuation exceed the range of 176~264V, it can cause faults or even damage
of wine cooler. Or it may result in indoor circuit overheat to cause fire.
Then it should be equipped with automatic voltage regulator of over 750W for use.

Do not spray or wash the cooler; do not put the cooler in moist places
easy to be splashed with water so as not to affect the electrical
insulation properties of the cooler.
Do not give package and other components to children to play. The
bending board and plastic film may lead to suffocation! Do not allow
children to enter or climb the cooler to prevent that children are sealed
in the cooler or children are injured by the falling cooler.
Please pull of the plug in case of power failure or cleaning. Do not connect
the cooler to power supply within five minutes to prevent damages to the
compressor due to successive starts.
Do not place heavy objects on the top of the cooler considering that
objectives may fall when switching the door, and accidental injuries
might be caused.

Proper use of wine cooler
Names of components
Placement
The cooler is placed in a well-
ventilated indoor place; the
ground shall be flat, and sturdy
(rotate left or right to adjust the
wheel for levelling if unstable).
Before using the cooler,
remove all packaging
materials including bottom
cushions and foam pads
and tapes inside the cooler,
tear off the protective film
on the door and the cooler
body.
Avoid direct sunlight and heat
sources such as stove, heating
radiator, etc. If the cooler has
to be put next to hear source,
a suitable insulation board shall
be applied or keep the cooler
away from heat source by
following minimum distance:
Stove: 3cm.
Oil furnace or coal stove: 30cm
The hot air from side wall of
cooler shall be exhausted
unrestricted, or compressor's
power will increase and further
increase power consumption.
Thus the distance between
cooler and walls or neighboring
furniture shall not less than
4cm. It is also necessary to
maintain distance for doors to
open at least 90°.
The room for cooler shall become
larger with more refrigerant in
cooler, with 8g refrigerant
3
corresponding to 1m spaces.
The content standards of
refrigerant are labeled in name
board on backboard of cooler.
Start to use
The wine cabinet first start to stand for half an hour and then plug in the power.
Do not connect cooler to electronic energy saving plug and convert DC to AC
converters (E.g.: solar energy system, ship grid).
Clean up the inner chamber before put into use for first time (Refer to cleaning).
Water drop or frost will be generated on R's back when compressor is functioning,
which is decided by function of cooler. Dispense wiping out frost or drop as the back
will wipe them out automatically. The defrosted water will be collected into drain tank,
then inflow into water disposal pan above the compressor and vaporized.

Proper use of wine cooler
Usage of temperature zones in R
Due to different temperature zones generated due to air circulation in the cooler，the upper area's
temperature is the highest while the lower area the lowest.
The arrangement of beverage
Different beverage can be stored from top to bottom as following sequence:
Strong red wine
Pink and mild red wine
White wine
Champagne and spritzer
We suggest to pour wine in temperature below serving temp, as the wine would warming up quickly when
pouring into tumbler.
Practical skills for grape wine's storage
Do not store bottled wine by box or case in refrigerator.
The cork of the old bottle shall always be moistened when putting into R. Air space is not allowed between wine and cork.
Open-type bottle shelf is helpful, as it does not cut off air circulation. The air moisture that condensed on bottle can be dried
out swiftly.
The wine shall undergo chambrieren before drinking: Such as put pink red wine onto the table 2-5 hours before drinking and
red wine 4-5 hours, then can reach suitable serving temp. White wine, on the contrary, can be served right on the table.
Champagne shall always be stored in cooler and taken out only before drinking.
Please notice that wine's temperature is always lower than ideal serving temp, as the temperature will immediately rise 1 to 2℃
when pouring into tumbler.
6
The arrangement of bottle
Pay attention when arranging:
Do not let bottle touch the R's back in order to maintain good air circulation in the cooler.
The bottle number here may be different from bottles in different shape and size.
The capacity for bottle storage in the wine cabinet is based on the following marked bottle size. Oversized
bottle may have impact on the number of bottle storage in the wine cabinet.
Φ30mm
Φ75mm 215mm
300mm
Humidification for Wine Cooler
Add cold water to water about once every 3-4 days if wine cabinet needs to be humidified.utensil

Pay attention to room temperature and ventilation
The temperature kinds are marked on type label. It defines indoor temperature range for cooler's operation.
Temperature Kinds Allowable Room Temperature
N +16℃to32℃
ST +16℃to38℃
T +16℃to43℃
The cooler cannot normal operate in room temperature below +16℃
Or temperature in refrigerator will become too low and cause damage to items that are
sensitive to temperature.
When room temperature is higher than +32℃and humidity reaches 75%RH, it will cause
frost coagulate on cooler's glazed door.
Proper use of wine cooler
Energy Conservation
The Cooler shall be placed in room dry and ventilated. The cooler cannot be put under direct sunlight or
next to hear source (Such as radiator, stove, etc.), and a suitable insulation board shall be applied if
necessary.
Try to shorten opening time of cooler's door.
Put beverage into cooler after it has cooled down.
