INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Wine Cooler
•Remove all packaging and labels from your wine cooler. Be sure that all the parts
have been included before discarding any packaging materials. You may want to
keep the box and packing materials for use at a later date.
•Before connecting the wine cooler 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.
•Install the handle on the left side of the door.
Installation Instructions
•This appliance is designed for free standing or built-in (full recessed) installation.
•Place your wine cooler on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully
loaded. To level your wine cooler, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom of the
wine cooler.
•Locate the wine cooler 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 cooler 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 power and/or grounding should be directed
toward a certified or an authorized products service center.
Door Reversal Instructions
This appliance has the capability of the door opening from either the left or right side.
The unit is delivered to you with the door opening from the left side. Should you
desire to reverse the opening direction, please follow the instructions below:
1. Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet (if connected).
2. With the door open slightly, remove the three screws holding the top hinge.
3. With the door shut, carefully lay the wine cooler on its back. Use cushioning to
protect the floor and appliance.
4. With the door shut, remove the six screws holding the bottom grill to the unit.
5. Carefully lift the door off.
6. Carefully lift the grill off.
7. Unscrew the ball stop on the bottom left hinge and unscrew the hinge post on
the bottom right hinge. Swap them and screw them in on the opposite side.
8. Carefully put the grill back and screw the six screws holding it back into place.
9. Remove the three filler screws on the upper left side and screw them into the
holes on the upper right side.
10. Place the door into the bottom left hinge post and close it.
11. Carefully lift the wine cooler upright.
12. With the door slightly open, use the new top hinge provided in the plastic bag
inside the wine cooler and place the hinge post into the top of the door and
screw it into the three holes on the upper left side of the unit.
13. Keep the spare hinge should you wish to ever reverse the door back.

CARE AND CLEANING
Helpful Hints
Allow the wine cooler door to remain open for several hours after manual cleaning to
air out and dry the inside of the wine cooler cabinet.
NOTE: Be certain the power is off before cleaning any part of this appliance.
Cleaning Your Wine Cooler
•Turn off the power, unplug the appliance and remove all items.
•Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda. The solution should be
about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 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 and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe
dry with a clean soft cloth.
Note: Never use any commercial or abrasive cleaners or sharp objects on any
part of the wine cooler.
Defrosting
Defrosting occurs automatically inside of the wine cooler during operation.
Approximately every 8 hours, the compressor will stop running for about 30 minutes.
During defrosting the temperature display may be higher than the set temperature.
The defrost water is collected by the evaporator drip tray and evaporates
automatically.
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.
Vacation Time
Leave the wine cooler operating during vacations of less than three weeks. If you
turn off the wine cooler for extended periods, leave the door slightly ajar to prevent
odor from building up inside the appliance.
Transporting Your Wine Cooler
If you need to move your wine cooler once the box has been discarded:
•Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
•Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage and tape door shut.
•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 Tip
The wine cooler should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat
producing appliances and out of the direct sunlight
