device to remove the hinge covers. Use care to prevent scratching the surfaces.
1. Unplug the Wine Cellar from the wall outlet and empty, including the
shelves.

HOW TO USE
Temperature Selection
1. Plug into a 120 volt outlet.
2. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to setting #5 and allow the Wine Cellar
to run for 2 - 3 hours before adding wine bottles and making any
temperature adjustments.
3. Once wine is added to the Wine Cellar the temperature may rise slightly.
Wine stored in the Wine Cellar will be at temperature after 10 hours of
storage. The Temperature Control Dial should not be changed in the first 10
hours from the time the wine has been added.
4. Generally, the cabinet temperature range is between 4-18°C (39.2 - 64.4 F).
5. The thermostat setting of 1 is the warmest and 5 is the coldest.
HELPFUL HINTS
1. After loading your wine, you may notice an increase in the temperature.
Allow approximately 10 hours of storage for your wine to be at the desired
temperature.
2. Eliminate unnecessary movement of your wine. Once a wine bottle has
been put into your cellar, it should stay there until it is opened.
3. Table wine is stored horizontally so that the wine stays in contact with the
cork. This keeps the cork moist and prevents air from entering the wine.
4. If bottles are stored with the labels up, it will be easier to see the deposit
of sediment that forms on the opposite side of the bottle when it comes
time to open it.
5. Ensure your wine is enjoyed at its best; serve it at its ideal temperature.

a baking soda solution. Rinse well.
Defrosting
1. Defrost the Wine Cooler when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is
about 5mm (1/5") thick.
2. Set the Temperature Control Dial to the ‘0’ position. Defrosting will usually
take a few hours.
3. To Defrost quickly, remove the wine and leave the door open. NOTE:
Never use a knife or other metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the
evaporator.
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the appliance could result in electrical shock or
personal injury.
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.
NOTE: If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off; you must wait
3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this
time delay, damage may occur and or the appliance may not start.
