must be followed in order to reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock and/or injury to persons or property. Be sure to read all
instructions before using this appliance and observe the
following safety tips:
Attention: To prevent the risk of child entrapment, do not allow children to
operate, play with, or crawl inside the unit. If the unit will not be used for an
extended period of time, remove the door and leave the shelves in place so
that children cannot crawl inside. Also remove the door when disposing of the
unit.

electricity has been disconnected.
•Never remove the round grounding prong from the plug and never use a
two-prong grounding adaptor.
•Altering or cutting of power cord, removal of power cord, removal of
power plug, or direct wiring can cause serious injury, fire, and loss of
property and/or life, and will void the warranty.
•Never use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.
•Avoid operating this wine cooler in excessively moist or humid
environments.
Important Precautions:
•Do not lift unit by door handle.
•Never install or operate the unit inside cabinets or without proper
clearances.
•Failure to clean the condenser every six months can cause the unit to
malfunction.
•Allow unit to temperature to stabilize for 24 hours before use.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
HANDLE ASSEMBLY
Tools Required for Assembly:
Phillips screwdriver (not
included)
Estimated Assembly Time: 5
minutes
Before installation, attach the
handle to the front of the unit
with the included screws and
washers. It may be necessary to
push aside the rubber seal on the
inside of the door to reveal the screw holes.
Caution: Avoid over-tightening the screws, or you may cause damage to the
unit.
INSTALLATION
Before connecting the appliance to a 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.
This wine cooler is a freestanding unit and should not be built into surrounding
cabinetry. Allow for proper air clearance around the wine cooler. The
recommended clearances are as follows:
Sides: ¾” (19 mm)
Top: 4” (100 mm)
Back: 2” (50 mm)
Before operating your wine cooler for the first time, follow these steps:

8
http://www.NewAir.com
•Clean the interior surface of the unit with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
•Place the cooler on a level surface that will be strong enough to support
the unit when it is fully loaded. To level your cooler, adjust the front feet
located at the bottom of the unit.
•Install the cooler away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as
stoves, heaters, or radiators. Direct sunlight may affect the unit’s acrylic
coating, and nearby heat sources can increase electrical consumption.
Extreme cold or hot ambient temperatures may also prevent proper
performance.
•Once the cooler is plugged in, let the wine cooler run for at least 30
minutes. Do not change the temperature or adjust any settings at this
time.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO USE THE BUTTONS ON THE DISPLAY PANEL

seconds on the display and then revert back to the internal cabinet
temperature.
OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE
•To ensure maximum performance and efficiency, be sure to place your
wine cooler in an area where there is proper air circulation. (See
installation instructions above for proper clearances.)
•For proper internal air circulation, do not overfill your wine cooler.
•Do not place the unit in direct sunlight.
•Do not place heated beverages in your wine cooler.
•Do not store perishable food in your wine cooler. The unit’s interior
temperature may not be low enough to prevent spoilage.
•Do not place heavy objects on top of the wine cooler.

WINE STORAGE GUIDE
•The ideal temperature for storing red or white wines is 55°F, with humidity
between 60% and 75% RH.
•Store corked bottles on their sides, to keep the cork from drying out and
allowing air into the bottle.
•UV rays make wine age faster, so keep bottles out of direct sunlight.
•Avoid heavy vibrations from motors, etc.
•Store wine separately from strong odors that might contaminate the flavor
of the wine.
How Long Should I Store My Wine?
While most wines today are meant to be drunk “young” (within a few years of
production) some fine wines are best served by proper aging. But aging too
long can decrease the flavor of the wine. Generally speaking, red wines can age
longer than white wines, but here is a storage guide for some popular vintages.
Cabernet Sauvignon…………
7-10 years
Pinot Noir………………………….
5 years
Merlot……………………………….
3-5 years
Zinfandel……………………………
2-5 years
Beaujolais………………………….

Chardonnay……………………….
2-3 years
