PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE WINE CHILLER
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigeration products are still dangerous… even
if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are
getting rid of your old appliance, please follow
the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigeration Product:
■Take off the doors.
■Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed prior
to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old
refrigeration product, check with the company
handling the disposal about what to do.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord.
However,if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessarythat it be a UL-listed, 3-wire
grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical
rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including
the following:
■This wine chiller must be properly installed and
located in accordance with these instructions
before it is used.
■Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in the wine chiller. They could
damage the wine chiller and seriously injure
themselves.
■Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
■Before replacing a burned-out light bulb,
the wine chiller should be unplugged
in order to avoid contact with a live wire
filament. (A burned out light bulb may break
when being replaced.)
■Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas;
clearances between the doors and between
the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.
Be careful closing doors when children are
in the area.
■Unplug the wine chiller before cleaning and
making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any
servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
■Do not store or install this appliance outdoors.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by
aqualified electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.
If you have only a standard 2-prong wall outlet,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to haveit replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The wine chiller should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has
avoltage rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your wine chiller by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and
pull straight out from the outlet.
Immediately repair or replace all power cords
that have become frayed or otherwise damaged.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion
damage along its length or at either end.
When moving the wine chiller away from
the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage
the power cord.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Removing the Packaging
Before using the wine chiller, be sure all packing materials and tape have been
removed, including the protective film covering the control and any film protecting
the cabinet.
If you are discarding an old refrigeration product, remove the doors to reduce
the danger of children being trapped inside.
To raise the wine chiller
■The wine chiller can be freestanding
or can be installed under the counter,
with proper clearances.
■Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation
and electrical connections:
Each side 1/2″(12,7 mm)
Top 2″(51 mm)
Back 2″(51 mm)
■Beforeconnecting the appliance
to the 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.
■Do not install the wine chiller where
the temperature will go below 55°F
(12,7°C) or above 90°F (32,2°C).
If the room temperature is below
the temperature setting, the wine chiller
will not operate (for instance, if the room
is at 55°F (12,7°C) and the setting is 60°F
(15,6°C), the unit will not run).
■Install it on a level floor.
■Do not install the wine chiller where
it will be subject to direct sunlight,
heat or moisture.
■Do not store or install this appliance
outdoors.
Installation Guidelines
Adjustable legs at the front corners
of the wine chiller should be set so the
wine chiller is firmly positioned on the floor,
with a 1/8″tilt to the back to help the door
closure.
To adjust the leveling legs, turn the legs
counterclockwise to raise the wine chiller,
clockwise to lower it.

About the interior space.
As with any refrigeration product, there
is a slight temperature variance at different
locations within the cabinet. In this wine
chiller, the lower shelves provide a slightly
cooler temperature than the upper shelves.
When storing both red and white wines,
it is best to store the white wine on the
lower shelves where the temperature is
slightly cooler.
Loading the Wine
Wooden shelves in the wine chiller
are removable for easy cleaning
and for storing larger items.
To remove a shelf, open the door
completely to avoid potential damage
to the shelf. Lift slightly and pull the shelf
forward. The shelf may fit tightly in
the track.
To replace a shelf, open the door
completely to avoid potential damage
to the shelf. lide the shelf into the tracks
along the sides of the cabinet until it stops.

Instructions Care and Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Unplug the wine chiller
before cleaning.
Keep the outside clean. The cabinet
can be washed with mild soap and water.
Clean with a damp cloth. Never use
abrasive scouring powders.
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water
and a soft cloth to clean the glass door.
Do not use any abrasive powders.
Do not wipe the wine chiller with a soiled
dishcloth or towel. These may leave a
residue that can erode the paint. Do not use
scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach
or cleaners containing bleach because these
products can scratch and weaken the paint
finish.
Protect the paint finish. The finish
on the outside of the wine chiller is
ahigh-quality, baked-on paint finish.
With proper care, it will stay new-looking
and rust-free for years. Apply a coat
of kitchen/appliance wax when the wine
chiller is new, and then at least twice
ayear.
Cleaning the Outside
IMPORTANT: Unplug the wine chiller
before cleaning.
To clean the inner liner and racks, use
awarm water and baking soda solution—
about one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking
soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both
cleans and neutralizes odors. Clean with
adamp cloth.
The vinyl door gasket may be cleaned
with mild soap and water or a baking soda
solution.
Do not use detergents, scouring powders,
spray cleaners or other harsh chemicals
to clean the interior.
To avoid water stains on the wood
shelves, clean up and dryany liquid spills
immediately.
Cleaning the Inside
Defrost whenever frost on the inside
surfaces of the storage area becomes 1/8 ″
(3 mm) thick.Never use a heater of any
kind, scraper or sharp instrument to
remove frost as it may damage
the wine chiller.
To defrost, unplug the wine chiller. Remove
the contents and wipe inside surfaces and
racks with a clean towel. If frost does not
come off easily, allow the frost to melt
somewhat and wipe off.
After defrosting, make sure inside
surfaces are dry; then return the contents
to the wine chiller and set the temperature
control to the desired setting.
NOTE: The drain pan above the compressor
may be full following defrost. Check
to make sure no water spills when
moving the unit.

If the power fails, open the door as
infrequently as possible to maintain
the temperature. A gradual rise in
temperature should not have any
adverse effect on the wine.
If it is extremely hot, you may want to
unload the wine from the wine chiller
and move the wine to a cooler location
until power is restored.
In the Event of a Power Failure
Unload the wine, then secure the racks by
taping them in place to prevent damage.
Be sure the wine chiller stays in an upright

MISE AUREBUT APPROPRIÉE DE L’APPAREIL
Les enfants pris au piège ou morts d’asphyxie sont
toujours d’actualité. Les appareils de réfrigération
abandonnés ou mis au rebut sont toujours aussi
dangereux... même si ce n’est que pour quelques
jours. Si vous vous débarrassez de votre ancien
appareil, veuillez suivre les directives ci-dessous
afin de prévenir les accidents.
Avant de mettre au rebut votre appareil
de réfrigération :
■Démontez les portes.
■Laissez les clayettes en place afin d’empêcher
les enfants de grimper facilement à l’intérieur.
Élimination des CFC
Votreancien réfrigérateur comporte
un système de réfrigération qui utilise des CFC
(chlorofluorocarbures). Les CFC sont considérés
comme nocifs pour l’ozone stratosphérique.
Si vous vous débarrassez de votre ancien
réfrigérateur,assurez-vous que le frigorigène avec
CFC est enlevé correctement par un technicien
qualifié. Si vous libérez intentionnellement
ce frigorigène avec CFC, vous pouvez êtresoumis
àdes amendes et à l’emprisonement en vertu
de la loi sur l’environnement.
UTILISATION DE CORDONS PROLONGATEURS
En raison des risques éventuels sur la sécurité dans certaines conditions, nous déconseillons
fortement l’utilisation d’un cordon prolongateur.
Cependant, si vous devez utiliser un cordon prolongateur, celui-ci doit être absolument homologué
par CSA,de type trifilaireavec mise à la terre, avec fiche et prise mises à la terre, pour une alimentation
nominale de 15 ampères (minimum) et de 120 volts.

CONSEILS DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTS.
LISEZ TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS AVANT D’UTILISER VOTRE APPAREIL.
AVERTISSEMENT!
Cet appareil doit être utilisé uniquement aux fins prévues et décrites dans ce manuel.
MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ
Lors de l’utilisation de l’appareil, observez les précautions élémentaires, dont les suivantes :
■Ce refroidisseur à vin doit être correctement
installé, conformément à ces instructions, avant
que vous ne l’utilisiez.
■Ne laissez pas les enfants grimper, s’asseoir, se
tenir debout ni se pendre aux clayettes de cet
appareil. Ils pourraient l’endommager et
gravement se blesser.
■N’entroposez pas et n’utilisez pas d’essence ou
autres vapeurs et liquides inflammables à
proximité de cet appareil ou de tout autre
