INSTALLATION
SELECTING A SUITABLE LOCATION
Before using the unit, remove all packaging materials including bottom
cushions, foam pads, and tapes inside the cooler. Remove the protective
film on the door and the cooler body.
When selecting a position for your unit, ensure the floor is flat and firm, and
the room is well ventilated. Avoid placing your unit near a heat source (ie,
oven, radiator, or hot water system). Avoid direct sunlight as it may increase
the electrical consumption. Extreme cold temperatures may also cause the
unit to not perform correctly. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or
outdoors. Do not drape the unit with any covering.
When installing the unit, ensure that 10cm of free space is allowed to the
left, right and rear of the unit, and 30cm at the top. This will allow cold air to
circulate around the unit and improve the efficiency of the cooling process.
1a. Door space requirements
The unit’s door must be able to open fully
as pictured (1a).

1b. Levelling the unit
When selecting a position for your unit, ensure the

POWER SOURCE AND GROUNDING
It’s recommended to use the cooler on its own dedicated power outlet for
both convenience and safety. The power outlet must be grounded.
Important! If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
Kogan.com or an authorised service agent on Kogan.com’s behalf. Cease
use and ensure the appliance is completely disconnected from the power
supply.
Before using your unit
• The cooler should sit for half an hour before connecting power when it
is first started.
• Important! Before plugging in your cooler, you must check that you
have a power outlet which is compatible with the plug supplied on the
appliance lead.
• Do not connect cooler to electronic energy saving plug or DC-to-AC
converter (ie, solar energy system, ship grid).
• Do not use when the power cord is damaged or the plug is worn.
• Do not alter the power cord under any circumstances, so as to ensure
safe use.
• Do not put flammable, explosive, volatile and highly corrosive items in
the cooler to prevent damages to the product or fire accidents.
• Do not place flammable items near the cooler to avoid fires.
• Water droplets or frost will be generated on back side of wine cooler
when compressor is running, which is decided by function of cooler.
Wiping out frost or water droplets is not needed as the back will wipe
them out automatically. The defrosted water will be collected into
drain tank, then inflow into water disposal pan above the compressor
and vaporized.
Noise from your fridge
• You may notice that your cooler makes some unusual noises. This is
completely normal for refrigerators and freezers, and the noises are
caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid within the cooling
system.

Bottle arrangement
• In order to maintain good air circulation in the cooler, do not let bottles
touch the back side of wine cooler.
• The capacity for bottle storage in the wine
cabinet is based on the following marked bottle
size. Oversized bottles, or other bottles with
different shapes and sizes, may have impact on
the number of bottle storage in the wine cabinet.
Tips for wine storage
• Do not store bottled wine by box or case in cooler.
• The cork of the old bottle shall always be soaked in the wine when
putting into wine cooler. Air space is not allowed between wine and
cork.
• Open-type bottle shelf is helpful, as it does not cut off air circulation.
The air moisture that condensed on bottle can be dried out swiftly.
• Some wines shall be left to sit before drinking. For example, put pink-
red wine onto the table 2-5 hours before drinking and red wine 4-5
hours, for it to reach suitable serving temp. White wine, however, can
be served right on the table. Sparkling winbe shall always be stored in
cooler and taken out only before drinking.
• Please notice that wine’s temperature is always lower than ideal
serving temp, as the temperature will immediately rise 1 to 2°C when
pouring into wine glass.
OPERATION (cont’d)

Recommended serving temperature
The wine’s taste depends on right pouring temperature, making
considerable difference to its flavour. See below for a general guide to
recommended serving temperatures.
Energy saving advice
• The cooler shall be placed in 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.
• Try to shorten opening time of cooler’s door.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING! To avoid an electric shock, always unplug your fridge
before cleaning.
Cleaning the inner cabinet
• Caution: Before using any cleaning products, please read and follow
the manufacturer’s instructions and warnings to avoid any damage to
your fridge or personal injury.
• Dusts behind the wine cooler and on the ground shall be regularly
cleaned to improve the cooling effect and energy saving.
• 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 wine cooler should be cleaned regularly to avoid
odour.
• Please turn off the power before cleaning, remove drinks ,shelves, etc.
• Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the wine 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.
• For areas that are difficult to clean in the wine cooler (such as
narrow sandwiches, gaps or corners), it is recommended to wipe
them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. and when necessary,
combined with some auxiliary tools (such as pipe cleaners) to ensure
no contaminants or bacteria accumulation in these areas.
• Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as
these may cause odours in the interior of the wine cooler or cause
contamination.
• 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 mould after moisture. The wooden wine rack is
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.

16
• Wipe the outer surface of the wine 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 toothpastes), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana
oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items, which may damage the
wine cooler surface and interior. Boiling water and organic solvents
such as benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.
• Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid
short circuits or affect electrical insulation after immersion. Water
should not soak the operating control elements and lighting system on
the glass door.
Cleaning tips
• Condensation may appear on the outside of the unit. This may be
due to a change in room temperature. Wipe of any moisture residue.
If the problem continues, please contact a qualified technician for
assistance.
Disposal
• Old units still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly
method of disposal will ensure that valuable raw materials can be
recovered and used again. The refrigerant used in your unit and
insulation materials require special disposal procedures. Ensure
that none of the pipes on the back of the unit are damaged prior to
disposal. Up to date information concerning options of disposing of
your old unit and packaging from the new one can be obtained from
your local council office.
• When disposing of an old unit break of any old locks or latches and
remove the door as a safeguard.
