Energy-Saving Tips
Do not place your cooler next to a heating vent, a range or in direct sunlight.
Keep the door closed as much as possible, especially in hot, humid weather.
Cover foods to reduce moisture build up inside the appliance.
Installation
1. You must remove the inflammable packing base before use, which is
essential for the heat release of lower condenser.
2. The wine cellar should be placed on the level, solid floor in order for the
compressor work properly, and to reduce the vibration and noise levels.
This is also important for the safety of use.
3. The unit should not be installed close to any heat sources or in direct
sunshine, as it will increase the power consumption and reduce the life time
of the plastic parts and the surface coating.
4. The appliance must be protected against rain, moisture and similar
atmospheric influences. If it is placed in a humid environment for a long
time, moisture will cause the appliance body to rust and affect the electric
insulation.
5

5. In order for the appliance to release heat quickly and to have sufficient
ventilation, there should be enough space around the appliance. The
appliance should be placed in a position with a minimum space of 100mm
on all sides.
6. The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
Electrical Connection
Important! For your personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord, which has a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The
plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly grounded and installed.
Consult a qualified electrician if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions.
If doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded, have a
qualified electrician check the circuit to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
Safety Instructions:
1. Pay attention to the power requirements on the rating plate. Higher or
lower voltage will cause damage to the compressor.
2. Use a socket with the correct electric meter and fuse. Do not share the
socket with another appliance.
3. When inserting the plug, it must be plugged tightly. When pulling out the
plug, you should hold the plug in your hand, do not pull the plug out by
pulling on the power cord.
4. Do not damage the power cord insulation. Never press the power cord
heavily. If the supply cord is damaged, the manufacturer, or their service
agent or a similarly qualified person must replace it in order to avoid a
hazard.
5. Never splash water onto the appliance as the insulation of the electric
parts will be impaired and can cause rusting and corrosion of the metal
parts.
6

6. If a leakage occurs from the gas pipes, you must exhaust the
inflammable gases around the appliance. Never pull out the power plug
from the socket or switch off the thermostat, as can be a possibility of an
explosive ignition caused by electric sparks.
7. Never touch the inner wall of the appliance with wet hands, to avoid
frostbite.
8. Store the appliance keys beyond the reach of children, to prevent them
locking themselves in the wine cellar.
9. Never store combustible, volatile or explosive goods in the appliance.
10. This product contains flammable insulation blowing gas. Please dispose
the product according to national regulation.
11. This appliance is not intended for use by children or other persons
without assistance or supervision if their physical, sensory or mental
capabilities prevent them from using it safely. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Operating Your Wine and Beverage Cooler
IMPORTANT:
Do not plug in the unit for at least 24 hours after unit is set in place. Failure to
do so may result in the unit not working properly.
Two-Compartment Design
The unit has two separate compartments, each having a capacity of 60 liters.
Each compartment has its own door and separate control panel. This design
feature enables you to operate one side only, or both compartments
simultaneously, and also enables you to set a different temperature for each
compartment. Each control panel also displays the current temperature and
allows you to turn the interior lights on and off independently of each other.
The operating instructions below apply to both compartments and must be
implemented separately.
7

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Turning the Unit On
The unit turns on automatically when it is plugged in.
If you want to use the Automatic Temperature (default) setting, do nothing
further. The unit will automatically set the temperature in the wine
compartment at 13 degrees Celsius and the beverage compartment at 5
degrees Celsius. If you want to set another temperature, see below.
Temperature Setting
To adjust the temperature, press the SET button, and then use the UP/DOWN
keys to navigate to the preferred temperature. When the correct temperature
appears in the LCD Display Window of the Control Panel, press SET to
confirm. Remember that each compartment has separate controls so you will
need to set the temperature in both compartments separately.
Please Note:
Cold air sinks and warm air rises, and there will be a small temperature
variation from the bottom of the unit to the top. The temperature gauge is
located in the middle of the unit and records the temperature at the middle of
the unit. The temperature at the bottom of the unit will always be slightly colder.
Operating The Internal Lights
Each compartment has an internal light to make it easier for you to see the
beverages you have stored. To turn these lights on or off, simply use the
ON/OFF button located on the left side of the control panel.
Please Note: The internal lights should not be left on for prolonged periods of
time, as the heat generated can raise the temperature of the stored beverages.
Compressor Run Indicator
When your unit’s compressor is running, either one or both control panels will
display moving icons representing a running fan. If the compressor stops
running, the icons will stop moving as well.
Memorizing Temperature Settings.
8

Your unit has been designed to ”remember” the last run mode to which it was
set. If you have a power outage or any other power cut off, the unit will
automatically return to the previous temperature settings after the power is
switched on again.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
When you press any key, a backlight will appear in the Display Panel. If no
other key is pressed, the backlight will automatically go out after 2 minutes.
In the event that there is a fault in the unit, an ALARM indication will appear on
the screen.
Alarm Mode:
In ALARM mode, the unit will make a beeping sound and display an alarm
message.
If the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) on the control panel displays any of the
following messages: PROBE ERROR, LOW TEMP or HIGH TEMP, consult
the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
Timed defrosting
Another feature of the beverage cooler is that the defrosting cycle will begin
automatically once the power has been on for 12 hours. Because of the low
temperatures inside the unit, frost or ice may begin to accumulate. During the
defrosting cycle, the interior fans run and the ice melts. The water produced
flows to the bottom of the compartment and collects in the drip tray on the
bottom (check occasionally to see if the tray need to be emptied manually).
During the defrosting cycle, the LCD display will show the average
temperature inside the unit, and the word STOP will flash once a second.
During defrosting, temperatures inside the unit will rise a little.
Normal defrosting time is 30 minutes.
Shelving
The shelves in your unit pull out only 1/3 of the way. This is a safety feature,
so that neither the unit nor the shelves will tip over. The space between
shelves is adjustable.
Replacement of the Energy-saving lamp
9

Warning: To avoid an electric shock, unplug the unit when replacing the
energy-saving lamp.
The lamp base is E27; the rated power of the lamp is 11W. Use a lamp of the
same rating and size when replacing an energy-saving lamp. Remove the
screw at the back of the lamp cover, then, to release the cover, push it firmly
backward and then carefully pull down. Replace with the same size and type
of the lamp and fix the cover back into place.
Replacement of the fuse on the PCB controller
Warning: To avoid an electric shock, unplug the unit when replacing the fuse.
We strongly recommended that any servicing be performed by a qualified
individual, or by the manufacturer or its service agent.
There is a fuse on the PCB controller located at the backside of the unit, to cut
off the input voltage when the PCB malfunctions such as overloading or short-
circuiting. The ratings of the fuse are 250V 2A. If this occurs, please replace
the fuse with one having the same ratings and sizes.
Drip Trays
Packed with the unit are two small plastic trays. They should be placed at the
back of each compartment, on the shelf just above the tilted rack. These trays
will catch any water that condenses on the walls of the compartments, and
also helps to maintain the proper humidity level so that corks will not dry out.
Every month or so, they should be checked and emptied if necessary.
Care and Cleaning of Your Wine Cellar
Cleaning the Outside of the Unit
Clean the outside of your unit with mild soapy water. Dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth. To clean the door gasket, use only mild soapy water. Never use harsh
detergents or scouring pads to clean any part of your cooler.
10

Cleaning the Inside
Unplug the unit and remove all contents. Rinse the inside surface with plain
water and dry the chrome shelves.
Troubleshooting
Unit does not turn on -
First check to see if the unit is plugged in.
A fuse could be blown or circuit breaker tripped.
Noise or vibration
Check that unit is level. If not, use leveling leg.
Compartment temperature is warm
Check that door is properly sealed.
To change the temperature. Follow the steps in the Operating manual.
LCD displays “PROBE ERROR & E”
This message is an ALARM MODE indication. The LCD displays ”PROBE
ERROR” on the left and “E” in the middle when the thermostatic sensor has
malfunctioned. When this happens, the cellar first stops working for 25 minutes,
then turns ON for 30 minutes and OFF for 20 minutes automatically and
continuously. Contact your authorized service facility for sensor replacement.
LCD displays “LOW TEMP”&”L”
This message is an ALARM MODE indication. The LCD displays ”LOW TEMP”
on the left and the actual temperature reading in the middle. If indicates that
the actual temperature is much lower than your set temperature, then the
magnet valve may not be functioning properly and should be replaced. Contact
your authorized service facility immediately.
LCD displays “ HIGH TEMP”
This message is an ALARM MODE indication. The LCD displays ”HIGH
TEMP” on the left and the actual temperature reading in the middle. It
11

indicates that the actual temperature is much higher than your set temperature.
Possible causes are:
. The door might not be fully closed
. The refrigerant may have leaked.
. The magnet valve may not be functioning properly and should be
replaced.
If you are certain that the door is not the cause of the problem, contact
your authorized service facility immediately.
LCD displays “H” or ”L”
If either message is displayed in the Temperature Display zone in the middle
of the LCD, the ambient temperature around your appliance may be beyond
the range of the two-digit LCD, which can only display temperatures between
-12 to 37 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is below –12 degrees Celsius, an
“L” will be displayed (not” LOW TEMP”). If the temperature is above 37
degrees Celsius, an” H” will be displayed.
These occurrences are not malfunctions. Either move your unit to a more
suitable location or change the ambient temperature.
