SAFETY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Child entrapment and suffocation
are not problems of the past. Junked
or abandoned appliances are still
dangerous, even if they will “just sit for
a few days.”
2. Before discarding your old refrigerator:
Take out the drawers.
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
WARNING!
1. Stainless steel models exposed to
chlorine gas and moisture such as areas
with spas or swimming pools, may have
some discolorations of the stainless
steel. Discoloration from chlorine gas is
normal.
2. NEVER USE CHLORIDE TO CLEAN
STAINLESS STEEL.
CAUTION!
• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet,
do not remove prong, do not use an
adapter and do not use an extension
cord.
• Replace all panels before operating
• It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only your appliance be provided.
Use receptacles that cannot be turned
off by a switch or pull chain.
• Never clean appliance parts with
flammable fluids. These fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Do not store or use gasolines or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
The fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion.
• Do not connect or disconnect the
electric plug when your hands are wet.
• Unplug the appliance or disconnect
power before cleaning or servicing.
Failure to do so can result in electrical
shock or death.
• Do not aempt to repair or replace
any part or your appliance unless it
is specifically recommended in this
manual. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician.
WARNING!
Most power failures are corrected within a few
hours and should not affect temperature of your
appliance if you minimize the number of times
the drawer 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 the contents.
Short Vacations: Leave the appliance operating
during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long Vacations: If the appliance will not be used
for several months, remove all items and turn
off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior
thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth,
leave the drawer open slightly, blocking it open if
necessary.
• Remove all items.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside
your appliance.
• Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to
avoid damage.
• Tape the drawers shut.
• Be sure the appliance stays secure in the
upright position during transportation. Also
protect the outside of the appliance with a
blanket or similar item.
Before the appliance is used, it must be
properly positioned and installed as described
in this manual, so read the manual carefully.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or
injury when using the appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
POWER FAILURE
VACATION TIME
MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE

• The appliance should be located in the
coolest area of the room or outdoor location,
away from heat producing appliances and
out of direct sunlight.
• Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated.
Never cover air vents.
• Do not keep the door open any longer than
necessary.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
VISIBLE DAMAGE
If your shipment arrives with visible damage to
the box/carton, be sure the damage is noted on
the bill of freight or express receipt and signed
by the person making the delivery. File claim for
damages immediately, regardless of the extent
of damage.
Disconnect all power supplies and baeries
before servicing
CONCEALED DAMAGES
If damages are unnoticed until the wine cooler is
unpacked, notify the transportation company or
carrier immediately and file a concealed damage
claim with them. This should be done within (5)
days of the delivery date. Be sure to hold on to
the box/carton for inspection. We cannot assume
responsibility for damage or loss incurred in
transit.
CONSTRUCTION ZONES
Keep all stainless steel products away from
construction zones. Construction debris such as
(but not limited to) stone dust, stucco, and lime
dust could damage or permanently discolor
stainless steel products. Keep all caustic chemicals
including chlorine and pool cleaning products
away from stainless steel at all times.
An audible alarm sounds if the storage
temperature is not cold enough. The temperature
display flashes at the same time.
The cause of the temperature being too high
may be:
• Too much warm ambient air flowed in
when rearranging and removing stored
items.
• Power failure for some time.
• The appliance is faulty.
The audible alarm is automatically silenced and
the temperature display stops flashing when the
temperature is sufficiently cold again.
If the door has been le open for more than 60
seconds, the alarm will sounds. Pressing any key
once can switch off the audible alarm
The unit is provided with a lock and key
combination. The keys are located inside the
plastic bag that contains the Instruction manual.
Insert the key into the lock and turn it counter-
clockwise to unlock the door. To lock the door, do
the reverse operation making sure the metal pin
is engaged completely. Remove the key and put it
in a secure place for safekeeping.
• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance,
and remove all items, including shelves.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a solution
of warm water and baking soda (about 2
tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of
water).
• Wash the shelves with a wet cloth.
• Wring excess water off of the sponge or
cloth when cleaning the area where the
controls are located or any electrical parts.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water
and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and
wipe dry with a clean so cloth.
• Use an approved stainless steel cleaner to
clean the door and handle. Do not sue steel
wool or a steel brush on stainless steel.
• Caution: Failure to unplug the appliance
during cleaning could result in electrical
shock or other personal injury.
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 the contents.
ELECTRICAL PARTS AND COMPONENTS

OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE
It is recommended that you install the appliance
in a place where the ambient temperature
is between 50°F and 109.4°F (10°C-43°C). If
the ambient temperature is above or below
recommended temperatures, the performance
of the unit may be affected. For example, placing
your unit in extremely cold or hot conditions
may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate.
The operating temperature range may not be
reached.
Your outdoor wine cooler has been designed
for both built-in and free standing applications.
When built-in, your wine cooler door does not
require additional air space for top, side or rear.
The front grille must not be obstructed.
1. Position the unit on a flat, level surface
capable of supporting the entire weight
of the unit. Remember the unit will be
significantly heavier once it is fully loaded.
2. Connect the unit to a Ground Fault
Interrupter (GFI).
It is recommended that you do not install the
appliance near an oven, radiator or other heating
source, as heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Do not install in a location where
the temperature will fall below 50°F (10°C). For
best performance, do not install the appliance
behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.
Plug the appliance into an exclusive properly
grounded wall outlet.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED)
INTERIOR LIGHT
DEFROSTING
This unit is equipped with an interior LED light
which will be turned ON when the door is open
and the interior fan is stopped at the same time.
You can press to manually turn on or tun off
the light.
The unit defrosts automatically in normal
operating conditions. 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 by the
compressor where it evaporates.
However, frost may accumulate on the evaporator
if the unit is repeatedly opened in a high heat or
high humidity location. If this frost paern does
not clear within 24 hours, your unit will require
manual defrosting.
Press and hold for 6 seconds, the unit will be
defrosted.
To stop defrost, please repeat the same
interaction.
