adhesive tape holding the wine cellar accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed
materials before powering on the wine cellar.
• Your wine cellar has four leveling legs which are located in the
front and rear corners of your wine cellar. After properly placing your
wine cellar in its final position, you can level your wine cellar.
• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise
your wine cellar or by turning them counterclockwise to lower your
wine cellar. The wine cellar door will close easier when the
leveling legs are extended.
• To ensure that your wine cellar works at the maximum efficiency it
was designed for, you should install it in a location where there is
proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.
• The following are recommended clearances around the wine cellar:
Sides……………2" (50mm)
Top....................2" (50mm)
Back..................2" (50mm)
• Do not over fill your wine cellar for proper wine cooling.

Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps
outlet) with proper grounding to power the wine cellar.
• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding
in order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous
practice since it provides no effective grounding for the wine cellar
and may result in shock hazard.
• Do not install your wine cellar in any location not properly insulated
or heated e.g. garage etc. Your wine cellar was not designed
to operate in temperature settings below 50˚ Fahrenheit and above
90˚ Farenheit.
• Select a suitable location for the wine cellar on a hard, even
surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators,
baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness
should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front
and rear bottom corners of the wine cellar.
• Your wine cellar is designed for freestanding installation only.
It is not designed for built-in application.
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension
cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating
of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance.

• Your wine cellar has an electronic temperature control in front of the
unit. The two individual temperature zones maintain their own
temperature with the dual controls. The cooling temperature in the
upper compartment ranges from 45˚F to 54˚F (7˚C to 12˚C). The
cooling temperature in the lower compartment ranges from 54˚F to
65˚F (12˚C to 18˚C). This makes it ideal for white wines in the top
compartment and reds in the bottom compartment. Please note that
the actual cabinet temperature in a thermal electric unit is dependent
on the ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature is too high
then the cabinet temperature may not reach the preset range.
• To raise or lower the temperature simply press the “Temp Up” or
“Temp Down” button.
• The LCD display will show the actual cabinet temperature while
it is running.
• The set temperature will be displayed for several seconds once it is
set. After that it will revert back to the actual cabinet temperature.

• The shelves are designed to have air movement around the bottles to
keep the wine cool. The upper chamber has a 15 bottle capacity and
the lower compartment has a 25 bottle capacity.
• To complement the look of your wine collection, a soft light has been
built into the wine cellar. Simply push the “Light” button and the light
comes on, push again for off. For maximum energy efficiency, leave
