IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance.
Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the Safety Alert Symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential
hazards that can kill or injure you and others. All safety messages will
follow the Safety Alert Symbol and either the words DANGER or
WARNING.
DANGER means that failure to heed this
safety statement may result in severe
personal injury or death.
WARNING means that failure to heed
this safety statement may result in
extensive product damage, serious
personal injury, or death.
Safety messages will alert you to what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance
of injury, and let you know what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
Before the wine cellar 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:
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter,
and do not use an extension cord.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your wine cellar, 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. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the
unit is disconnected.
Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
Unplug the appliance or disconnect the power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so
can result in electrical shock or death.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless it is specifically

2
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a)
which is environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor
does it increase the greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting
up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can
ignite and may damage the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
- Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,
- Disconnect from the electrical power line,
- Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes, and
- Contact the Service Department for advice.
The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the
event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible
gases building up. For every ounce of coolant at least 325 cubic feet of room space is
required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate on the back of the
appliance. It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorized Service Person to carry out
servicing or repairs to this appliance.
Take serious care when handling, moving, and using the appliance to avoid either damaging
the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.
Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service
personnel so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper
service.
Use two or more people to move and install the appliance. Failure to do so can result in back
or other injury.
To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the unit must be completely
unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below
90°F (32°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind,
rain, water spray or drips.
The appliance should not be located next to ovens, radiators or other sources of high heat.
The appliance must be installed with all electrical connections in accordance with state and
local codes. A standard electrical supply (115V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the appliance.
The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.
It is important for the wine cellar to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to
make several adjustments to level it.
Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the wine cellar.
Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may
damage or discolor the interior.
Do not use this apparatus for other than its intended purpose.
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this
appliance.
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of
obstruction.

3
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other
than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance,
unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
NOTE: MODELS SWC6GBL, SWC6GBLBI AND SWC6GBLBIADA ARE DESIGNED AS
COMMERCIAL WINECELLARS.
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators and freezers are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few
days.”
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer: Take off the doors. Leave
the shelves or drawers in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the refrigerator/freezer.
THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY YOUNG CHILDREN OR INFIRM
PERSONS UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN ADEQUATELY SUPERVISED BY A RESPONSIBLE

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power
cord is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Installation Instructions
Before Using Your Appliance:
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Before connecting the unit to a power source, let it stand for approximately 2 hours.
This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling
during transportation.
Remove the shelves and clean them and the interior surfaces of the unit with
lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installing the Wine Cellar:
Place the unit on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully
loaded. To level the unit, adjust the two leveling legs at the front.
If the model number of your appliance contains the letters BI, the unit is designed to
be installed either free-standing or built-in (fully-recessed). For free-standing
installation, allow at least 4” (102mm) of space at the sides, top and rear of the unit to
allow for proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. If the unit is to
be built-in, leave at least 3/16” at both sides, 1/16” at the top and 2” at the rear.
Take care that the air vents at the front of the appliance are never covered or blocked
in any way.
NOTE: Units that do not contain BI in their model number suffix, such as SWC6GBL,
are designed for free-standing installation only.
Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (oven, heater, radiator,
etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase
electrical consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also affect the
unit's performance.
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to
form quickly on the evaporator, requiring more frequent defrosting of the interior.
Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Do not
under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a
certified electrician or authorized service center.
Electrical Connection:
This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit is
equipped with a three-prong plug that mates with a standard three-prong wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of electrical shock.

6
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power
cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This unit requires a standard 115-volt AC/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the unit and not left
exposed or dangling.
The unit should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a
voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best
performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire
hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace
immediately any power cord that has become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use
a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When
moving the unit, be careful not to damage the power cord.
Extension Cord:
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
Door Handle Installation:
The door has two screw holes on each side, allowing you to install a handle (included). To
do so, align the handle with the screw holes on the side you prefer. Fix the handle in place
with the included screws, then cover the screw heads with the handle seal (included).

7
Reversing the Door Swing:
(IMPORTANT: The doors on models with pro style handles (SH, TB, HV, or CSS in
model number suffix) are not customer-reversible.)
If you find the direction of opening the door of the appliance inconvenient, you can
change it. Holes on the opposite side have already been prepared at the factory.
This appliance can be opened from either the right side or the left. By default, the door
hinge is on the right side. If you prefer it on the left, please follow these instructions:
NOTES: See illustration below.
All of the parts that are removed must be kept for the reinstallation of the door.
1. Unscrew the lower hinge and take off the door.
2. Push the kick plate to the right in the new position.
3. Undo the upper hinge fastener and fix it to the opposite side of the housing, where you
have already removed and replaced the fastener with the hole to the opposite side.
4. Put the door on the upper hinge fastener.
5. Fix the lower hinge in the new position.
6. Unscrew the handle and place it on the opposite side.
7. Some screws are covered with caps. Take off these caps before undoing the screws.
8. Check the door gasket. It should not be creased and should seal well.

Operating Your Wine Cellar
Temperature Control:
Your appliance’s evaporator system is out of sight behind the interior rear wall.
The interior temperature is controlled with a thermostat knob
located inside the unit, towards the upper right-hand corner.
Turn the knob clockwise from the STOP (0) position toward
the higher numbers for colder temperatures. Higher settings
on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower temperatures
(colder) inside the appliance.
On the coldest settings, temperatures in some spots inside
the cabinet may drop below 32°F. Use higher thermostat settings only when required
or recommended. When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend a
medium setting.
Changes in the ambient temperature affect the temperature inside the wine cellar
so choose an appropriate setting of the thermostat knob, depending on ambient
conditions.
In the STOP (0) position, the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is
switched off), yet the power supply is not interrupted (the light still works).
The temperature inside the wine cellar also depends on how often you open the door.
It is best not to operate these units mostly empty. If temperatures are erratic, try
putting some water bottles inside to create a load for the compressor.
NOTES:
1. The scalloped steel shelves are adjustable
2. Interior lighting is controlled by a manually-operated rocker switch. To maintain the
proper interior temperature, keep the light on only as long as necessary.
3. If the wine cellar is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5
minutes before restarting it. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will
not start.
Defrosting Your Appliance:
This appliance operates with an automatic defrost system, so the unit defrosts itself.
While the compressor is operating, ice will build along the rear cold wall (the evaporator
plate is behind the wall). During the compressor’s off-cycle, ice will melt, drip down,
collect in the trough at the bottom and drain through a small hole into a tray above the
compressor, where the compressor’s heat will evaporate the water. If you notice
excessive ice build-up on the rear wall, try adjusting the thermostat to a slightly warmer
setting; be sure that the door gasket is sealing well and that there is no obstruction of the
drain hole at the bottom rear of the interior cabinet.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Appliance:
1. Unplug the appliance, turn the thermostat to STOP (0) and remove all contents,
including shelves.
2. Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of lukewarm water and vinegar. Wipe dry
with a clean, soft cloth.
3. Wash the shelves, drip tray and crisper with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and
dry thoroughly.
4. Wash the outside cabinet with a solution of warm water and mild liquid detergent.
Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
5. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the
temperature control or any electrical parts.
6. From time to time, wipe the condenser on the rear wall with a soft
non-metallic brush or vacuum cleaner. (See illustration.)
7. After you have cleaned the appliance, reconnect it to the power
supply, reset the thermostat and return all contents to their place.
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the unit 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. If
the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps
to protect your chilled items.
Vacations:
During long absences, remove all contents. Unplug the appliance, clean it and leave the
door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold or odors.
Moving Your Appliance:
1. Remove the contents.
2. Securely tape down all shelving inside your unit.
3. Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation.
Energy-Saving Tips:
The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing
appliances or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight.
Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is damp and hot.
Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible.
Occasionally check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation
behind the appliance).
Set the thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as possible (depending on
how loaded the appliance is, ambient temperature, etc.).
Before loading items into the unit, be sure they have cooled to ambient temperature.

10
Troubleshooting
When using this appliance, you may come across some problems that in many cases
result from improper handling and can easily be eliminated.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The appliance fails to operate after being connected to the power source.
Check whether the power supply is active and that the thermostat is not set to the
STOP (0) position.
The compressor is running continuously.
The door was opened frequently or it was left open too long.
The door is not properly closed (the door may sag; the gasket may be dirty or
damaged).
The power supply has been interrupted for a long period of time.
The appliance may have been overloaded with items above room temperature.
There may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condenser. (Be sure
there is adequate air circulation behind the appliance and wipe the dust from the
condenser.)
Noise
Cooling in refrigeration appliances is enabled by the refrigerating system with a
compressor, which produces noise. How noisy the appliance is depends on where
it is placed, how it is used and how old the appliance is.
During the operation of the compressor, the noise of liquid is heard and when the
compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal
condition and has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance.
After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the refrigerant
flow may be louder. This does not mean that something is wrong. Gradually the
noise is reduced.
Sometimes a louder noise is heard, which is unusual for the appliance. This noise
is often a consequence of improper placement of the unit. (The unit should be
placed and leveled firmly on a solid base and it should not touch the wall or
cabinets standing next to it.)
