ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• The Cooler shall be placed in a room dry and ventilated. The cooler cannot be put under direct
sunlight or next to heat source (Such as radiator, stove. etc.), and a suitable insulation board shall be
applied if necessary.
• Shorten opening time of the cooler’s door.

3. Keep the cooler door open.
CLEAN THE COOLER
• Please turn off the power before cleaning, remove drinks or shelves, etc.
• Dust behind the cooler and on the ground shall be cleaned regularly to ensure the cooling and
energy saving effect.
• Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there is no debris. Clean the door gasket with a soft
cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.
• The interior of the cooler should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.
• Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the cooler, with two tablespoons of baking soda and
a quart of warm water. Then rinse with water and dry with a soft cloth. After cleaning, open the door
and let it dry naturally before turning on the power.

recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. and when necessary, combined
with some auxiliary tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no contaminants or bacteria accumulation in
these areas.
• Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause odors in the
interior of the cooler or contaminate food.
• Clean the shelves with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent. Then rinse with
water and dry with a soft cloth or dry naturally.
• The wooden wine rack should not be directly immersed in liquid to prevent cracking or mold after
moisture. The wooden wine rack should be cleaned with a dry soft cloth. The heavily contaminated
wooden wine rack should be cleaned with a soft cloth that has been wrung out, and dry naturally.
• Wipe the outer surface of the cooler with a soft cloth dampened with soap water, detergent, etc.,
and then wipe dry. Do not rub or scratch the surface of the glass door to prevent the door from
being broken or scratched.
• Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives(such as toothpaste), organic
solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items, which may

NOTE:
Do not use detergent and solvent with sand or acid to clean the cooler.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEMS SOLUTIONS
The cooler does not
operate
The cooler is not plugged and connected to power.
Low voltage.
Temperature control knob is not in the working area.
Failure in power or tripping circuit.
Long-term operation of
compressor
It is normal that cooler operates for longer time to cool the wine in
summer when the ambient temperature is high.
Do not put too much wine bottles in the cooler at one time.
Frequent opening of cooler door.
Illuminating light does
not turn on
The cooler is not connected to power, or the indicator light is damaged.

cooler accessories are properly placed.
Cooler enclosure heat
The cooler enclosure may emit heat during running specially in summer.
This is caused by the radiation of the condenser and is normal.
Condensation
Condensation will be detected on the exterior surface and door seals
of the cooler when the ambient humidity is high. This is normal. Simply
wipe with soft towel, and turns up the set temperature of the appliance
properly.
