the wine cellar.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
GROUNDED PLUG
To reduce the risk of electric shock this appliance has a grounded plug (2 blades
and 1 pin). If the plug does not fit fully into the electrical outlet contact a
qualified electrician. DO NOT modify the plug in any way or use an adaptor.
INTRODUCTION
Your new wine cellar has no compressor and as such is environmentally
friendly, needing no special disposal precautions other than those listed in the
Safeguards section of this manual.
Cooling is done using thermoelectric circuits. This uses the ambient air around
the unit which is cooled when drawn in. The warm air is exhausted through
the vents. Thermoelectric wine cellars create less noise and vibration than
compressor units. 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’s or HCFC type refrigerants
are used in the cooling process.
BOTTLE STORAGE
Many bottles may differ in size and dimensions. As such the actual number of
bottles you may be able to store may vary.

INSTALLATION
1. The unit is designed to be free standing only, it should not be recessed or
built-in.
2. Ensure that your wine cooler works at the maximum efficiency, follow the
recommended clearances below:
- sides 2” (50 mm)
- top 2” (50 mm)
- back 2” (50 mm)
3. Place the Wine Cellar on a flat level surface that is strong enough to
support it when fully loaded. Do no place the unit in direct sunlight and
sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).
4. DO NOT place next to any appliance that emits large amount of heat, such
as a dishwasher, microwave, oven, toaster, etc. or in direct sunlight. Direct
sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase
electrical consumption.
5. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance not to
perform properly.
6. To help with door closure, position leveling legs with a 1/8" (3 mm) tilt to
the back. Adjust the leveling legs by turning clockwise to raise and
counterclockwise to lower.
7. Install the legs by screwing in the legs into the preset screw holes. (Please
note that the leg which stands on the hinge is the shorter leg.)
8. Gently slide the racks into the unit.

HOW TO USE
1. The Wine Cellar has an electronic Temperature Control and can be set from
4°C to 22°C. The default setting is 10°C.
2. Plug the unit into the wall outlet. The LED will display the internal cavity
temperature.
3. To increase the temperature, press the (Temp+) Temperature Button. To lower
the temperature, press the (Temp-) Temperature Button. The display will
increase or decrease in 1° increments when pressing the ‘Temp-‘ or ‘Temp +’
buttons.
4. The actual internal temperature in a thermoelectric unit is dependant on the
ambient room temperature. If the ambient temperature is below the set
temperature of the unit, it will not operate until the ambient temperature
increases to that above the set temperature.
5. For this model when the ambient temperature is 25°C, the lowest
temperature that can be reached is 10°C. When ambient temperature is 18°C,
the cabinet temperature can reach approximately 4°C.
6. Your wine cellar also has a light . The Light Switch on the control panel will
activate the light manually. Under normal operation it is best for the light to
remain off.
INSTALLING THE WATER TRAY
The purpose of the water tray is to receive the condensed water drained from
the Wine Cooler cavity. The collected water will evaporate so there is no need
to remove the water manually.
To install the Water Tray, simply slide the water tray along the track which is
located beneath the Wine Cooler Cavity. The Water Tray should slide in and out
from the back of the Wine Cooler .
CARE AND CLEANING
1. Always unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning.
2. Empty the cavity.
3. Wash the Wine Racks in mild soap and water. Rinse and dry.
4. Wash the inside cavity with a warm water and baking soda solution. Mix
approximately 2 tbsp. (30 ml) of baking soda with 1 quart (litre) of water.
5. The outside of the Wine Cellar can be wiped with a damp cloth. Dry.
NOTE: Use caution when wiping over the Control Panel area so that water
does not enter the controls.
6. DO NOT use any abrasive cleaning products on the inside or outside of
the Wine Cellar.
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the appliance could result in electrical shock
or personal injury.
