Installing Your Wine Cellar
Unpacking your Wine Cellar
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the base and all adhesive tape
holding the wine cellar accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before
powering on the wine cellar.
Leveling your Wine Cellar
• Your wine cellar has 4 leveling legs. After properly placing your wine cellar in
its final position, you can level your wine cellar.
• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them counterclockwise to raise your
wine cellar or by turning them clockwise to lower your wine cellar.
• Install the legs by screwing in the legs into the preset screw holes. (Please note
that the leg which stands on the hinge is the shorter leg.)
Proper Air Circulation
• To assure your wine cellar works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for,
you should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation and
electrical connections.
• The following are recommended clearances around the wine cellar:
Sides……………2 "(50mm)
Top....................4" (100mm)
Back..................2" (50mm)
• Do not over fill your wine cellar for proper internal air circulation.

Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (110 volts, 15 amps outlet) with
proper grounding to power the wine cellar.
• 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 pro-
vides no effective grounding for the wine cellar and may result in shock haz-
ard.
Use of Extension Cords
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will
accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
Install Limitations
• Do not install your wine cellar in any location not properly insulated or heated
e.g. garage etc.
• Select a suitable location for the wine cellar on a hard even surface away from
direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking
appliances etc. Any surface unevenness should be corrected with the leveling
legs located on the front and rear bottom corners of the wine cellar. Avoid
placing unit where there may be electrical interference.
• Your wine cellar is designed for free-standing installation only. It is not
designed for built-in application.

Wine Cellar Features & Use
General Features
Temperature Adjustments:
• Your wine cellar has electronic temperature control on the front of the unit.
You can set the temperature of your wine cellar at any setting you desire. The
temperature will range from 39˚F to 72˚F. When initially turned on, the LED
will show the ambient. The LED will then display the internal temperature.
N
NO OT TE E: :W Wh hi it te ew wi in ne et te em mp pe er ra at tu ur re ei is sc co oo ol le er rt th ha an nr re ed dw wi in ne et te em mp pe er ra at tu ur re e. .
By pressing the (+) temperature button on the display you can increase the
temperature and pressing the (-) temperature button will lower the temperature.
Your wine cellar also has a light for you viewing pleasure. A light switch on the
control panel will activate the light manually. Under normal operation it is best
for the light to remain off.
Please note that the actual cabinet temperature in a thermal electric unit is
dependent on the ambient temperature. You may set the cabinet temperature
within range but the unit may not reach the preset temperature.
For the HVUE12 when the ambient temperature is 77˚F the lowest temperature
that can be reached is 50˚F. When ambient temperature is 66˚F the cabinet
temperature can reach approximately 39˚F.
For the HUVUE06 when the ambient temperature is 77˚F the lowest temperature
that can be reached is 45˚F. When the ambient temperature is 71˚F the cabinet
temperature can reach approximately 39˚F.
N
No ot te e: :The display temperature is from 0˚F to 99˚F. thus when the cooler is
installed if the ambient temperature is higher than 99˚F or lower then 0˚F the
display will show “--” until the cabinet has cooled down to 99˚F or warmed up to
0˚F. When the wine cooler is started the temperature display will show the ambi-
ent temperature
When the ambient temperature is below the pre-set temperature, the cellar will
not operate until the ambient temperature increase to higher than the pre-set
temperature.
