2. Before connecting the chiller to the power supply, let the chiller stand upright for approximately 12
hours.
3. Clean the interior with lukewarm water, using a soft cloth.
4. The door can be opened from either the left or right side. When delivered, the door can be opened
from the left. Should you want to open it from the right, follow the instructions for “reversing the
door swing of your appliance”.
Installing your wine chiller
1. The product is designed to be built-in, recessed, or free standing.
2. Place the chiller on a floor that is able to support it once fully loaded. To level the chiller, adjust the
front levelling leg at the bottom of the chiller.
3. Do not place the chiller in direct sunlight or near other heat sources.
4. Avoid placing the chiller in damp areas.
5. Plug the chiller into the socket.
6. Ensure that the air vent at the front of the chiller is never blocked or covered.
Installing the handle
1. Remove the door gasket on the side you want to install the handle – there are two designated holes
for the handle installation.
2. Install the handle tightly with two screws, lock washers and flat washers provided.
3. Replace the door gasket.
Operating you wine chiller
NB: the chiller should be placed in an area where the ambient temperature is
between 16-35°C.
• When using the chiller for the first time, or re-starting it after a long period of time, there may be
a few degrees variance between the selected temperature and what is shown on the LED readout.
Once the chiller has been switched on for a few hours, this should rectify itself.
• If the unit is unplugged, has lost power or been turned off, wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the
chiller.

Storage
54 wine bottles can be stored with 8 bottles on each full size
and 6 bottles on the bottom half size shelf.
NB: Bottle capacities are approximate maximums when storing traditional
Bordeaux 750ml bottles and include bulk storage.
Shelves
• To prevent damage to the door gasket, ensure the door is fully open when pulling shelves out of the
rail compartment.
• For easy access to the bottles, pull the shelf out by about 1/3. The shelf will stop automatically if they
are being taken out too far when housing wine bottles. Only pull out 1 half at a time.

Adding water to this box will help maintain the humidity levels within the cabinet and reduce the drying
out / shrinkage of natural corks.
