TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR
INJURY WHEN USING YOUR APPLIANCE, FOLLOW
THESE BASIC PRECAUTIONS:
1. Read all instructions before using the wine cooler.
2. DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment. Child
entrapment and suffocation pose a serious problem and
children should not be let near the appliance unsupervised.
Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous…
even if they will “just sit in the garage for a few days."
3. Before you throw away your old wine cooler:
•Take off the door.
•Dismantle the Shelves into pieces so that children may
not climb inside easily.
4. Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside
the appliance.
1.The wine cooler must be plugged into its
dedicated 110-115V, 50/60Hz AC electrical outlet.
2. The plug must be accessible when the cooler is in position.
3. It is essential that the power point is properly grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure.
4. Don’t use extension cords or adapter plugs with this cooler.
5. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a
qualified service technician.
6. Unplug the cooler before cleaning it, or changing the light
bulb to avoid electric shock.
7. Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The
fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
8. Never unplug the cooler by pulling the electrical cord as this
may damage it. Grip the plug firmly and pull straight out.
9. Choose a location for your cooler that isn’t too cold. The
ambient room temperature should be above 50° F.
10. Stand your cooler in a dry place – avoid areas of high
moisture or humidity.
11. Don’t put the cooler in frosty or unprotected areas like a
garage or on the verandah.
12. Keep the cooler out of direct sunlight.
13. Don’t locate the cooler near stoves, fires or heaters.
14. Do not store in the vicinity of any other appliance. Do not
store near gasoline or any other flammable vapors. The
fumes can create an explosion or lead to a fire hazard.
15. When installed correctly, your cooler should:
16. Have adequate space at the back and sides for air
circulation. (See Page 5)
17. Be aligned to the surrounding cupboards.
18. Have doors that will self-close from a partially open position
19. Please inspect and clean the filter in front venting grill every
month. Failure to clean will void the warranty and increase
the running costs.
BEFORE USING YOUR WINE COOLER
•Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•Before connecting the wine cooler to the power source, let it
stand upright for approximately 24 hours. This will reduce the
possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling
during transportation.
•Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft
cloth.
DISCLAIMER
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any spoilage to the
content of the refrigerator, not even when the device is within the

INSTALLING YOUR WINE COOLER
1. Move the unit into its final position. (CAUTION: for safety purpose, for the KBU100 and KBU170 models, it is necessary to anchor
the appliances to the wall, please refer to the instruction on the next page.)
2. If the unit is not tilting back, minor adjustments can be made to the leveling legs.
3. Compare the alignment of the appliance to the surrounding cupboard. The top of the appliance should be level side to side (see
diagram below).
4. If the unit now rocks from one corner to the opposite rear corner, this means that the floor is uneven. You may need to put some
packing under the ridge to the rear of the appliance. You could use thin pieces of a solid material such as a thin board, vinyl floor tiles
or laminate.
5. You may now need to fine tune the installation by repeating steps 2, 3 and 4.
6. Wipe off any dust that has accumulated during shipping and clean following the directions in Part VI ( Care & Maintenance)
7. Plug the appliance into the power point. Don’t use a double adaptor or extension cord.
8. It is recommended that you allow the unit to rest an hour or two before you put any wine bottles in it. This will confirm that it is
operating correctly and make the conditions appropriate for wine storage.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your wine cooler.

YOUR CABINET WAS DESIGNED TO STORE A MAXIMUM NUMBER OF BOTTLES SECURELY. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU
OBSERVE THE TIPS BELOW TO OPTIMIZE LOADING.
1. Disperse your bottles evenly so as not to concentrate the weight in any one area. Also, be careful that your bottles do not touch either
the back of the cabinet or the step at the bottom.
2. Also, make sure that bottles are not all grouped together either at the top or bottom of the cabinet.
3. A cooler that is full and has a nice allowance for air movement will work more efficiently.
4. Never try to adjust shelf with bottles still on it.
TO REMOVE A ROLLING SHELF:
1. Remove all bottles
2. Pull the shelf out as far as possible
3. Push the LEFT side lever downward but the RIGHT side lever upward (as illustrated below)
4. Remove the shelf
PLEASE NOTE
Before modifying your cabinet’s original configuration in any way, be sure to ask your dealer for advice.

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR WINE COOLER
BEFORE CLEANING: Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including all the shelves.
•Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda
with a quart of water.
•Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
•Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
•Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and a mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
•After installation, we recommend that owners apply a thin layer of Olive Oil with a clean rag, to all exposed Stainless Steel areas.
This should then be polished in and buffed off with another clean rag to a non-oily finish. This process will aid protection against
dirt and other corrosive contaminants, by providing a temporary food-safe shield. The Olive Oil layer also makes later polishing
and removal of fingerprints easier. This process should be repeated frequently every 3-4 months. ALL stainless steel can rust; it is
a myth that stainless steel doesn’t rust.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of
times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your
contents.
VACATION TIME
Short vacations: You may leave the wine cooler operating during vacations of less than three weeks.!
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn offthe appliance. Clean and dry the
interior thoroughly. To prevent mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.!
MOVING YOUR WINE COOLER
1. Remove all items.
2. Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
3. Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also, protect the outside of the appliance with a
blanket or similar item.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
•The wine cooler should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances, and away from direct
sunlight. Ventilation at the rear also helps a lot with energy usage, to create a positive air flow where possible, although with this
range they are designed to be fully built in.
•When you are not using cooler during weekdays etc. it is recommended to set the temp at a higher level, so set at 64°F (18°C )
during periods of non-usage, this will not only mean less run time, it will also keep drinks at a temp that won’t get them spoiled. It
saves energy also which these days are a growing concern for most households.
•Keep the cooler stocked; an empty cooler will run longer, believe it or not.
