Important Safeguards
When using an electrical appliance,
basic precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, and injury to persons,
including the following:
For Your Safety
Read all instructions carefully, even if you are
quite familiar with the appliance.
• Use this appliance only as described in this
manual. Other uses not recommended may
cause fire, electric shock or personal injury.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory and mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
• Young children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
• To protect against the risk of electric shock,
DO NOT IMMERSE the unit, cord, or plug in
water or spray any other liquid nearby.
• Unplug the appliance from the plug socket
when not in use, when moving from one
location to another and before cleaning.
• To disconnect the appliance, grip the plug and
pull it from the wall outlet. Never pull by the
cord.
• Do not operate the appliance in the presence
of explosive and/or flammable gases.
• Do not place the appliance or any of its parts
near an open flame, cooking or other heating
appliance.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not operate the appliance with a damaged
cord or plug, if the product malfunctions, or if it
is dropped or damaged in any manner.
• The use of attachments not recommended by
the manufacturer may be hazardous.
• Place the unit on a dry level surface.
• Do not operate if the housing is removed or
damaged.
• A loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle)
and plug may cause overheating and a
distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified
electrician to replace the loose or worn outlet.
• Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and
sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).
• This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and
contains small quantities of Isobutane
(R600a), an environmentally friendly coolant.
• You must ensure that the cooling circuit is
undamaged when installing the appliance. If
it becomes damaged, avoid proximity to open
fires and heat sources of all kinds. The room
in which the appliance is located should be
ventilated for a few minutes.
• Never use an appliance with a damaged
circuit.
• Ensure that the ventilation openings to and
from a built-in appliance are never blocked
or covered. No liability will be accepted for
any damage incurred owing to misuse of the
appliance or as a result of repairs carried out
by unqualified personnel. In this case neither
the guarantee nor any other liability claims will
apply.
WARNING: Do not operate any electrical
appliance inside the Wine Cooler.
WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant
circuit.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock or personal injury, unplug
or disconnect the appliance from the
power supply before servicing.

Connection to the
Mains Supply
Check that the voltage marked on the product
corresponds with your supply voltage.
This product is fitted with a 13A plug complying
with BS1363. If this plug is unsuitable or needs to
be replaced, please note the following:
WARNING:
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
Important: The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN/YELLOW - EARTH
BLUE - NEUTRAL
BROWN - LIVE
This appliance is fitted with a plug which has a
3 amp fuse. Should the fuse fail, then it must
be replaced with an ASTA approved fuse
(conforming to BS1362) of the same rating. If
you need to replace the plug or if the plug is of
the incorrect type for your socket, remove it and
replace it with an appropriate plug. Dispose of the
old plug safely.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead
of this appliance may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows: The GREEN/YELLOW
wire is the EARTH and must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘E’ or
by the earth symbol or coloured GREEN or
GREEN/YELLOW.
The BLUE wire is the NEUTRAL and must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with
the letter ‘N’ or coloured BLACK.
The BROWN wire is the LIVE wire and must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with
the Letter ‘L’ or coloured RED.
Always ensure that the plug cord grip is fastened
correctly.
If in doubt consult a qualified electrician who
will be pleased to do this for you. This product
conforms to EC Directive 92/31 /EEC with respect
to Electromagnetic Compatibility.
NON-REWIREABLE MAINS PLUG
If your appliance is supplied with a nonrewireable
plug fitted to the mains lead, you will find that
it incorporates a fuse, the value of which is
indicated either on the base of the plug or on the
fuse carrier. Should the fuse need replacing, you
must use an ASTA approved one (conforming to
BS1362) of the same rating.
If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used
until a replacement is obtained from an electrical
supplier.
If you need to remove the plug, cut it from the
mains lead and immediately dispose of it. Never
attempt to re-use this plug or insert it into a socket
outlet as there is a very great risk of an electric
shock.

front leveling leg 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.

Setting the Temperature Control
• You can set the temperature as required by
touching the UP or DOWN mark. When you
touch the two marks for the first time, the LED
readout will show the original temperature
set previously (the temperature preset at the
factory is 12°C).
• The temperature will increase 1°C if you touch
the UP mark once, or the temperature will
decrease 1°C if you touch the DOWN mark
once.
• To view the “set” temperature at any time,
touch the UP or DOWN mark, the “set”
temperature will temporarily “flash” in the LED
display for 5 seconds.
• The internal storage temperature is displayed
in blue in the LED display.
Shelves
• To prevent damaging the door gasket, make
sure the door is fully open when pulling
shelves out of the rail compartment.
• For easy access to the bottles stored, pull the
shelves out approximately 1/3 of the way. The
shelves are designed with an emergency stop
to prevent them being removed too far when
loaded.
Defrosting
• The unit defrosts automatically.
• The evaporator behind the rear wall of the
unit defrosts automatically. The condensation
collects in the drainage channel behind the
rear wall of the unit, and flows through the
drainage hole into the drip tray above the
compressor where it evaporates.
Operating Your
Wine Cooler
The Wine Cooler should be placed in a position
where the ambient temperature is between 16-
35°C. If the ambient temperature is above or
below this range, the performance of the unit may
be affected. For example, placing your unit in
extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior
temperatures to fluctuate. The range of 5-18°C
therefore may not be reached.
Note:
• When you use the Wine Cooler for the
first time or restart the Wine Cooler
after having been shut off for a long
time, there could be a few degrees
variance between the temperature you
select and the one indicated on the
LED readout. This is normal and it is
due to the length of the activation time.
Once the Wine Cooler is running for a
few hours everything will be back to
normal.
• If the unit is unplugged, power lost,
or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5
minutes before restarting the unit. If
you attempt to restart before this time
delay, the Wine Cooler will not start.

Care and Maintenance
Removing Shelves
• To remove any of the shelves from the rail
compartment, move the shelf to the position
where the notch of wooden shelf is exactly
under the plastic post and lift the wooden
shelf. Please ensure these are replaced when
the shelf is put back.
Humidity Control
• The wine cooler is equipped with a system for
maintaining the correct level of humidity. Fill
the small plastic reservoir (humidity box) 3/4
full with water, and fit onto the runners found
on the top shelf of the wine cooler. Check the
water level regularly and refill as necessary.
• Please ensure the reservoir is positioned
correctly on the runners on the top shelf to
avoid the possibility of water spillage.
Cleaning Your Wine Cooler
• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and
remove all items including shelves and rack.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water
and baking soda solution. The solution should
be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a
pint of water.
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent
solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth
when cleaning any area of the controls.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and
mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry
with a clean soft cloth.
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. If the power is
going to be off for a longer period of time, you
need to take the proper steps to protect your
contents.
Vacation Time
• Short holidays: Leave the Wine Cooler in
operation for holidays of less than three
weeks.
• Long absences: If the appliance will not be
used for several months, remove all items,
turn off the appliance and unplug. Clean and
dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odour
and mold growth, leave the door open slightly:
blocking it open if necessary.
Moving Your Wine Cooler
• Remove all items.
• Securely tape down all loose items (shelves)
inside your appliance.
• Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid
damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the appliance stays secure in the
upright position during transportation. Also
protect outside of appliance with a blanket, or
similar item.
Energy Saving Tips
• The Wine Cooler should be located in the
coolest area of the room, away from heat
producing appliances, and out of direct
sunlight.
• Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated.
Never cover air vents.
• Only open the door for as long as necessary.
