Setting up your wine cooler
Before using your cooler
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Let the cooler stand upright for approximately four hours before
connecting it to power. This reduces the possibility of a malfunction in
the cooling system from improper handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Finding a suitable location
• This cooler is designed to be built-in or free standing.
• Place your cooler on a floor, countertop, or cabinet that is strong
enough to support the cooler when it is fully loaded.
• Locate the cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove,
heater, radiator, and so on). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic
coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.

Building in your wine cooler
The cutout dimensions shown in the following graphic allow the door to
swing open and provides access to the pull-out shelves when installed as
a built-in unit.
If you are installing the unit between frameless cabinets, a ½” wide filler
strip or side panel may be needed on the hinge side. The filler strip will act
as a spacer between the appliance case and the adjacent cabinet door
swing. The width of the opening must include the filler panels. The door
should extend at least one inch beyond the surrounding cabinets.

Leveling your cooler
• It is very important for the cooler to be level in order to function
properly. If the cooler is not leveled during installation, the door may
not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
• To level your cooler, you may either turn the leveling foot clockwise to
raise that side to the cooler or turn it counter-clockwise to lower that
side.
Grounding requirement
This cooler must be grounded. This cooler is equipped with a cord having
a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the cooler is properly grounded.
Connecting to power
• Plug the appliance into a dedicated, properly installed grounded wall
outlet. This appliance should be operated on a separate electrical circuit
from other operating appliances. Do not under any circumstances cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a
certified electrician or an authorized service center.
• Plug in and run your cooler for three to four hours before making any
temperature adjustments and before adding wine. This allows your cooler
to reach a stable temperature.
Warning
• Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third
ground prong from the supplied power cord.
Caution
This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV or used with an
inverter.
Notes
• Check your local power source. This cooler requires a
110V-120V, 60 Hz power supply.
• Use a receptacle that accepts the grounding prong. The
power cord is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug
which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall
outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard
from this cooler.

• Do not use an extension cord with this cooler. If the power cord is too
short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the cooler. Use of
an extension cord can negatively affect the cooler’s performance.
Using your wine and beverage center
Turning on your cooler
Press the button to turn your cooler on. The display screen and
indicators blink for three seconds and an audible beep will be heard, then
the compressor starts working.
You can manually set your unit to “Standby” mode by touching the
button for approximately three seconds, provided that no other setting is
in effect (the display is not blinking). Repeating this action restarts the
unit.
Setting the temperature
Under normal conditions, the temperature always shows the set
temperature. When adjusting the temperature, the temperature display
blinks to indicate that the temperature is being adjusted.
The temperature in the left and right zones can be set independently by
using the control panel located in each zone. The temperature range of
both zones can be set between 37° F to 64° F (3° C to 18° C) ± 5° F (± 3° C).
When the or buttons are pressed, the temperature will increase or
decrease in increments of one degree. If the or buttons are pressed
and held for two seconds, the temperature will increase or decrease at a
speed of one degree per half second.
After you have adjusted the left and/or right zone to the temperature you
want, release the button. The temperature display will blink for
approximately three seconds to confirm the selected temperature. After
the display stops blinking, the temperature display will indicate the set
temperature of that zone.
Changing the temperature display
The temperature display can be exchanged between Celsius and
Fahrenheit by simultaneously pressing and holding the buttons for
approximately three seconds.
Notes
• A large number of bottles will lower the cooling efficiency
of the cooler.
• Adjust the thermostat setting by one increment at a time.
Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize
between adjustments.
