INSTALLATION
BEFORE USING YOUR WINE CELLAR
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Before connecting the Wine Cellar to the power source, let it stand upright for approxi-
mately 2 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.
INSTALLATION OF YOUR WINE CELLAR
• This appliance is designed for free standing installation. Allow 50mm (2”) of space
between the unit's side and 100mm (4”) between back and the wall.
• Place your Wine Cellar on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
To level your Wine Cellar, adjust the front leveling leg at the bottom of the Wine Cellar.
• Locate the Wine Cellar away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater,
radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase
electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to
perform properly.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
• Plug the Wine Cellar into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not
under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any
questions concerning about power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified
electrician or an authorized products service center.

2. Set the desired cooling temperature by pressing the buttons or to set your desired
temperature. Each depression of the buttons will scroll through the available temperature
settings. Numbers will flash while setting. Solid numbers indicate the current internal
temperature in Celcius degrees.
3. Allow the empty Wine Cellar to operate for approx. 3 hours. This will allow it to reach the
desired temperature.
4. Fill the wine cooler with your choice of wine bottles. Allow 24 hours of operation before
the bottles reach the desired temperature.
5. The centre touch control button operates both the interior light and switches the temp.
display from Celcius to Fahrenheit. Touch once to turn the interior light on or off. To
switch between Celcius and Fahrenheit, hold button for 4 seconds.
The Wine Cellar should be placed where the ambient temperature is between 59°F to 77°F
(15°C to 25°C). If the ambient temperature is above or below this range, the performance of
the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions
may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate.
RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES FOR CHILLING WINE
Red Wines: 15-1 °C (5 -66°F)
White Wines -15°C (46-57°F)
The above temperatures may fluctuate depending on whether the interior light is ON or OFF
or the bottles are located on the upper/middle/lower section.
1. Insert the power plug into the power socket. Make sure the power socket is 110-120V
AC/60Hz.
