1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all
adhesive tape holding the wine cooler accessories inside and outside.
Slide out and remove plastic or foam guard used to secure the
compressor from shipping damage due to vibration and shock.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed
materials before powering on the wine cooler.
• Your wine cooler has four leveling legs which are located in the
front and rear corners of your wine cooler. After properly placing your
wine cooler in its final position, you can level your wine cooler.
•Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your
wine cooler or by turning them counterclockwise to lower your wine
cooler. The wine cooler door will close easier when the leveling legs are
extended.
• To assure your wine cooler works at the maximum efficiency it was
designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air
circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.
•The following are recommended clearances around the wine cooler:
Sides……………2" (50mm)
Top....................2" (50mm)
Back..................2" (50mm)
• Do not over fill your wine cooler for proper internal air circulation.

Electrical Requirement
•Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (120 volts, 15 amps outlet)
with proper grounding to power the wine cooler.
• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in
order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice
since it provides no effective grounding for the wine cooler and may
result in shock hazard.
•Do not install your wine cooler in any location not properly insulated or
heated e.g. garage etc. Your wine cooler was not designed to operate
in temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.
•Select a suitable location for the wine cooler on a hard even
surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators,
baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness
should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front and rear
bottom corners of the wine cooler.
• Your wine cooler is designed for free-standing installation only. It is not
designed for built-in application.

Wine Cooler Features And Use
•The wine cooler is preset from the factory to automatically
accommodate temperature requirements for red or white wines. If you
store mostly white wines, press the "White Wine" button and the wine
cooler will maintain an average temperature between 45˚ to 50˚ F.
Pushing the "Red Wine" button will yield an average temperature
between 55˚ to 60˚ F.
•The wine cooler can be set to any temperature you desire to
accommodate your wine storage requirements. To set the temperature,
press both the "White Wine" and "Red Wine" buttons simultaneously
and hold for approximately 3 seconds. Now you are in temperature set
mode. Decrease the temperature by pushing the "White Wine" button
and increase the temperature by pressing the "Red Wine" button.
Pressing the appropriate button 3 times will adjust the temperature 3
degrees, press 4 times equals 4 degrees, 5 times equals 5 degrees, and
so on. Once you have selected the temperature you desire, push the
"On/Off" button. Now the wine cooler is programmed and the LED
readout will return to current internal temperature reading.
Initial Setup
Once you have plugged the unit into an electrical outlet, let the unit run for at least
30 minutes to acclimate itself before making any adjustments. During this time the
Red Wine light will stay on. Temperature inside the cooler, if not adjusted, will be at
55˚-60˚F.
Temperature Adjustments: See fig. # 1

•There will be a 3 degree variance +/- between the temperature you
select and the temperature indicated on the LED readout.
This occurs because the wine cooler activates and deactivates
trying to maintain your desired temperature. There is often a
10˚ variance between the top and bottom shelves of the wine cooler.
Therefore, if you have set the wine cooler for 50˚ and have a
mix of red and white wines, you may want to put the white wine
on the bottom shelf where the temperature will be 45˚ F, and place the
red wine on the top shelf where the temperature will be 55˚ F.
•The shelves are designed for appearance and easy cleaning. To
accommodate different sized bottles the shelves slide out and can be
moved up or down into any of the tracks molded into the cooler
cabinet. Larger bottles or Magnums can be more easily accommodated
at the cross shelves at the bottom of the cooler. You will notice that the
shelves are designed so the bottles do not line-up directly over one
another. This allows free air movement and provides more space.
• To complement the look of your wine collection, a soft light has been
built into the wine cooler. Simply push the "On/Off" button and the
light comes on, push again for off. For maximum energy efficiency,
leave light off when not viewing your collection.
•When door is open the light will go on. Upon closing the door,
the light will go off in approximately 15 seconds.
•Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of
the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.
• The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.
