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.
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.
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.
CFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that
used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed
to harm stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,
make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you
intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you
can be subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.

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 a
qualified 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
have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The wine chiller should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has
a voltage 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.
Repair or replace immediately 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.
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS

Installing the wine chiller.
Removing the Packaging
Before using the wine chiller, be sure all packing materials and tape have been
removed, including any 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.
The wine chiller must be freestanding.
Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation and
electrical connections:
Each side 2" (51 mm)
Top 2" (51 mm)
Back 3" (51 mm)
Before connecting 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
transporation.
Do not install the wine chiller where the
temperature will go below 55°F (13°C) or
above 90°F (32°C).
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.
The following models must be installed
on the floor: GWS04, GCS04.
Installation Guidelines
To raise the wine chiller
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"
(3 mm) tilt to the back to help the door
closure.
To adjust the leveling legs, turn the
legs clockwise to raise the wine chiller,
counterclockwise to lower it.

Instructions Care and Cleaning
Care and cleaning. GEAppliances.ca
IMPORTANT: Unplug the wine chiller
before cleaning.
Keep the outside clean. The cabinet can
be washed with mild soap and water. Rinse
thoroughly with clear water.
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.
Wipe the control panel with a damp cloth.
Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays,
large amounts of soap and water, abrasives
or sharp objects on the panel—they can
damage it. Some paper towels can also
scratch the control panel.
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.
Stainless steel. Regularly clean and polish
the stainless steel areas (on some models)
with a commercially available stainless
steel cleaner such as Gleem-it®to preserve
and protect the fine finish. Gleem-it®is
available at leading hardware stores. It is
also available through our website,
GEAppliances.ca, or call 1.888.261.3055.
Order part number WX10X15.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
Protect the paint finish. The finish on
the outside of the wine chiller is a
high-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
a year.
Cleaning the Outside
IMPORTANT: Unplug the wine chiller
before cleaning.
To clean the inner liner and racks, use
a warm 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.
Rinse and wipe dry.
The vinyl door gasket may be cleaned
with mild soap and water or a baking soda
solution. Rinse well.
Do not use detergents, scouring powders,
spray cleaners or other harsh chemicals
to clean the interior.
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.

Unload the wine, then secure the racks and
door by taping them in place to prevent
damage.
Turn the adjustable leveling legs up to the
base to avoid damage.
Be sure the wine chiller stays in an upright
position during the move.
Preparing to Move
LED Refrigerator Lights

Vacation Time
Short vacations: Leave the Wine/
Beverage Cooler operating during
vacations of less than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance will
not be used for several months, remove
all items and unplug the power cord.
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
To prevent odor and mold growth, leave
the door open slightly: blocking it open if
necessary.
Energy Saving Tips
The Wine/Beverage Cooler should be
located in the coolest area of the room,
away from heat producing appliances,
and out of the direct sunlight.
Try not to open the door too often,
especially when the weather is wet or
hot. Once you open the door, mind to
close it as soon as possible.
This appliance is intended to be used
exclusively for the storage wine.
Every now and then check if the
appliance is sufficiently ventilated
(adequate air circulation behind the
appliance).
For wine storage appliances, please
arrange the temperature following the
instruction: SPARKLE: 41-45°F (5-7°C),
WHITE: 46-54°F (8-12°C), RED: 55-65°F
(13-18°C).
