INSTALLATION
1. This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not
be recessed or built-in.
2. Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support
the appliance when it is fully loaded. To level your appliance, adjust
the front leveling legs at the bottom of the appliance.
3. To allow proper air circulation around the wine cellar, the following are
the recommended clearances:
Sides: 3/4” (19 mm)
Top: 4” (100 mm)
Back: 2” (50 ml)
4. Locate the appliance 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 appliance not to perform properly.
5. Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas.
6. Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet.
HOW TO USE
Setting the Temperature Control
1. Your wine cellar has an electronic temperature control on the front of
the unit. You can easily set the internal compartment temperature within
a range of 8 – 18°C (46.5 – 64.5°F).
2. When you first turn the unit on, the LCD will display the ambient room
temperature. After you select your preferred cabinet temperature on
the unit, the set temperature numerals will flash and then revert to the
original cabinet temperature. The unit will then gradually work toward
the temperature that you have set.
3. Pressing the up-arrow temperature button on the display will increase
the temperature in 1° increments and pressing the down-arrow button
will decrease the temperature in 1° increments.
4. By pressing the C/F button on the control panel, you can display the cabinet
temperature as either Celsius or Fahrenheit.

5. Note that the actual cabinet temperature in a thermoelectric unit
is dependant on the ambient room temperature. When the ambient
temperature is below the set temperature of the appliance, it will not
operate until the ambient temperature increases to that above the set
temperature.
6. Thermoelectric wine cellars do not use a compressor and therefore create
less noise and vibration. The minimized vibration will prevent bubbles
from forming in stored wine, which helps to maintain its quality. These
units offer a high level of reliability, lower maintenance, more accurate
temperature control and an environmentally-friendly operation as no
CFC or HCFC-type refrigerants are used in the cooling process.
RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
RED 12 – 18°C (54 – 64.5°F)
WHITE 10 – 15°C (50 – 59°F)
SPARKLING 8 – 9°C (47 – 49°F)
ROSE 9 – 11°C (49 – 52°F)
IMPORTANT NOTES
• The bottle racks are plated in order to maintain their appearance and
for ease of cleaning.
• The unit can store a total of 8 standard size bottles. Many bottles may
differ in size and dimensions. As such, the actual number of bottles you
may be able to store may vary.
• Your wine cellar has an interior light with and on/off switch for your
viewing convenience. Under normal operation, it is best for the light
to remain off.

the door is opened.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled in or
tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-
supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or table top, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
