1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam 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.
• Your wine cellar has two leveling legs which are located in the
front corners of your wine cellar. After properly placing your
wine cellar in its final position, you can level your wine cellar.
• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your
wine cellar or by turning them counterclockwise to lower
your wine cellar. The wine cellar door will close easier when the
leveling legs are extended.
• 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, plumbing and electrical connections.
• The following are recommended clearances around the wine cellar:
Sides……………2 "(50mm)
Top....................2" (50mm)
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 (115 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 provides no effective grounding for the wine cellar
and may result in shock hazard.
• Do not install your wine cellar in any location not properly insulated
or heated e.g. garage etc. Your wine cellar was not designed to
operate in temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.
• 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 floor unevenness
should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front and
rear bottom corners of the wine cellar.
• Your wine cellar is designed for free-standing installation only. It is
not designed for built-in application.
• 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.

•Your wine cellar has a temperature control knob on the unit (location
may vary per model purchased). You can set the temperature of your
wine cellar at any setting you desire. Initially set the temperature set-
ting to midrange. 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.
Larger bottles or Magnums can be more easily accommodated on
the shelves of the bottom of the cellar.
• 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.
To complement the look of your wine collection a soft light has been
built into the wine cellar. For maximum energy efficiency, leave light off
when not viewing your collection.
