• Choose a location where there is an electrical outlet within reach of the power cord. There must
be at least 127 mm (5”) clearance around the unit to ensure proper ventilation. Avoid locations
in direct sunlight, moist or extreme cold areas.
• Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately
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.

UP and DOWN buttons for the first time. The wine cooler should be placed where the ambient tem-
perature is between 15 to 25 ºC. If the ambient temperature is above or below this range, the per-
formance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in extreme cold or hot con-
ditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate.
• To turn ON/OFF the appliance, press the ON/OFF button
• The temperature preset at the factory is 50°F (10°C).
• Set the desired cooling temperature by pressing the button ‘UP’ or ‘DOWN’ to set your desired
temperature. Each depression of the buttons will scroll through the available temperature set-
tings in increments of 1 degree.
• This unit has the option to display temperatures in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. To change

NOTES
• If the unit is unplugged, power loss, or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restart-
ing. If you attempt to restart before this interval the Wine Cooler will not start.
• When you use the wine Cooler for the first time or restart the wine Cooler after having been shut
off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select
and the one indicated on the ED readout. This is normal and it is due to the length of the acti-
vation time. Once the wine Cooler is running for a few hours everything will return to normal.
• The zone temperature may have a difference of +/- 5°F (+/- 3ºC) from setting depending on
loading and ambient conditions.
WARNING
Be careful when using the touch screen panel. Please protect the panel carefully to avoid scratches,
and maintain far away from strong magnetic field and high humidity areas, these conditions may
prevent the wine cooler from working properly.
