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)

Electrical Requirement
•Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 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.

• Your wine cooler has a temperature control knob on the back of the
unit. There are 6 settings: 1 being the warmest and 6 being the coolest.
You can set the temperature of your wine cooler at any setting you
desire. The wine cooler is designed to maintain a temperature between
39˚F to 65˚F.
Wine Cooler Features And Use
•The control for this is on the back of the unit. There are 6 settings
plus 0 (OFF). Initially set the temperature setting to 3. Let the unit run for
at least 30 minutes to acclimate itself before making any adjustments.

•The shelves are designed for flexibility 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 on the cross shelves of the bottom basket 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.
Shelving
•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.
