1. LOCATING YOUR WINE CELLAR - Remember, it is not an appliance, it is a piece of furniture
2. AREA FOR ASSEMBLING YOUR WINE CELLAR
Choose a clear 12’ by 12’ area with a level oor and carpeting to help reduce scratching of surfaces.
3. TOOLS
* Hex wrench (included)
* Phillips screwdriver
* Carpenter’s level
* Helper or two is strongly recommended
4. TEST THE COOLING UNIT
Plug it in for a few minutes on a table top, to verify that controls and display are functional, and that
the unit is producing cool air after a few minutes of operation.
Note that the electronic controller has a one-minute cautionary delay between initial plug-in and
start-up of the compressor.
NOTE: Fill out the WARRANTY REGISTRATION FORM with the serial number located on the LEFT
SIDE of unit.
A. Provide 4” minimum clearance for both sides and back, keep the top completely clear.
Under no circumstances should the unit be “built-in” in any way.
B. Never locate your wine cellar outdoors or in an area with extremes of temperature and
humidity.
Garages, attics, unnished basements, laundry rooms, breezeways, closets, bedrooms or
any unventilated room. In other words these units must be installed in air-conditioned
environments which do not “trap” the warm air being exhausted.
C. Temperatures in surrounding area must not exceed 80 °F (25 °C) with humidity levels not
to exceed 70% R.H. (Relative Humidity). Never set your temperatures below default (57ºF)
whenever ambient conditions are warm (above 75ºF) or humid (above 50%R.H.).
D. Outlet power must be a DEDICATED separately fused, grounded, 15 Amp 110 - 120 V line or
7.5 Amp - 240 V line rated for your unit (CHECK BOX OR SERIAL NUMBER LABEL ON UNIT
FOR YOUR LINE VOLTAGE REQUIREMENTS).
E. You must monitor your unit DAILY. If unit is in “Alarm”, unplug the unit inmediately. Always
check for any water (condensate) leaks.
Vintage Keeper will not be liable or responsible for incidental or consequential damages.
(See Warranty).
F. Place unit in a clean area and allow access to the exterior surfaces for periodic vacuuming
of the condensor coil. (See troubleshooting for details.)
G. Always remove all bottles before relocating your wine cellar.

Maximum capacities and sample loading arrangements for Vintage Keeper Tuscany wine cellars
are illustrated below. Note the variations in shelf height, to accommodate the widest variety of
bottle types and sizes. Standard Burgundy and Bordeaux bottles are best arranged with necks
facing out; some taller bottles may need to be arranged neck to neck. Never stack bottles more
than two rows high on a shelf; all shelves must be installed as directed. Avoid placing bottles
directly in front of the cooling unit’s circulating fan for more uniform temperature in cabinet.
*WARNING:
Bottles in black will be in the cold air stream and could block airow efciency in some
circumstances (warm or humid areas). This area of the cabinet should have the coldest
temperature and may be used as your “chilling” section.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Although each Vintage Keeper cooling unit has been carefully tested at every stage of manufacture, occasional problems
arise, the majority of which are due to rough or careless handling during shipping or installation. Other problems may
derive from improper cabinet assembly, power interruption or surge, low line voltage (less than your unit rating of 105V
or 240V), or failure to clean the unit regularly (see illustration below). The following may help you determine what the
problem may be; what steps you can take to correct it, and what further steps may be required. Additional Trouble-Shoot-
ing information and downloadable documents are available in the “Support” area of our web site: www.koolspace.com
Cleaning the coil
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In order to provide maximum protection for your valuable wine collection, the following steps are highly advisable.
First and foremost, have your wine collection adequately insured. Second, install a battery-powered heat-sensitive alarm
to warn of any loss of cooling due to power interruption. Third, monitor your storage and ambient conditions on a regular,
daily basis. Fourth, install a high quality surge suppressor to protect against sudden power uctuations. Fifth, clean the
unit as directed, on a regular basis, every 3 to 4 months vacuum the cooling unit coils (check our website for more info).
Sixth make sure to check water level in the DRAIN CUP periodically and empty. Be advised, also, that Drobot-Vintage
Keeper cannot in any event be liable or responsible for incidental or consequential damages.
IF: CHECK: THEN:
COOLING UNIT
DOES NOT RUN
AT ALL WHEN
PLUGGED IN
- Is the unit plugged in?
- Is the power supply operational?
- Is the LED display functional?
- Is there any evidence of shipping
damage on the cooling unit or
packaging materials?
- Note that the unit has a 1-minute cautionary delay
between plugging in and full start-up; this is a built-in
safeguard to protect the compressor in the event of
sudden power failure
- Note that the power supply must be a dedicated,
separately-fused and grounded 15 Amp, 120V line or 7.5
_Amp, 240 V line rated for your unit. Must not use an exten-
sion cord. Do not share the outlet with other appliances
- If the unit is receiving power yet fans or compressor fail
to run, unplug for ten minutes, then try again
COOLING UNIT
RUNS BUT DOES
NOT COOL
SUFFICIENTLY
- Is the storage temp properly
set?
- Is the cabinet properly
assembled, with all joints air
tight?
- Is the door properly adjusted to
seal tightly when closed?
- Is airow to and from the
cooling unit unobstructed?
- Is the ambient air temperature
within the specied range?
- Are any exterior surfaces of the
cabinet exposed to sunlight?
- Note that the unit may take a few days to achieve the
desired storage temperature, even in a properly located,
airtight cabinet
- Take steps to reduce ambient temperatures and
compensate for additional heat gain if any cabinet walls
receive direct sunlight
- If gaps are visible at any panel joints, ensure that you
have tightened all cams in all panels, to ensure
an airtight seal as detailed in our instructions
- Take steps to improve circulation of air to and from the unit
- Adjust the door, if necessary, to seal tightly by
re-positioning the upper hinge and improving the cabinet
level
- Increase your SET TEMPERATURE
- Clean the fan and grille areas
- If the problem persists, go to our website at
www.koolspace.com and perform the “cooling unit
diagnostic” in the support section.
Coil is located at the top of
back panel.
Vacuum it periodically

damage or malfunction from misuse, abuse, accident, act of God, or any unauthorized alteration or modication. The product must
have been installed and operated precisely as directed in the manual which accompanies each product. Improper return shipping,
inadequate packaging or shipping damage is not covered unless the unit is packaged and shipped in accordance with Koolspace
