IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNINGTo reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using
your appliance, follow these basic precautions
•Read all instructions before using the appliance.
•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 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.
•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 your appliance unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
•Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
•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 61°F (16°C) and below
95°F (35°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, grills 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 amps.
•It is important for the appliance to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make
several adjustments to level it.
•Although the unit has been tested at the factory, due to transit and storage, you should clean
the appliance before use.
•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 residential purposes.

DANGER! Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
appliances are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days”.
•Before you throw away your old wine cooler or any appliance: Remove the door.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
•Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Appliance
•Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours.
This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
•Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
•Install the handle on the left side of the door using the screws that are provided.
Installation of Your Appliance
•This appliance is designed for free standing or built-in (fully recessed) installation. If free standing,
the unit should have at least 4” of clearance at both sides, at the top and at the back to allow for
adequate ventilation. If it is built-in, leave 3/16” at both sides, 1/16” at the top and 2” at the rear. Be
sure that airflow under the appliance is not blocked.
•Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level
your appliance, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom.
•Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform
properly.
•Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
•Plug the appliance 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 and authorized products
service center.
Defrosting
While it is running, the appliance defrosts itself automatically every 8 hours. The defrosting process
lasts about 30 minutes. The melt water collects in the evaporator drip tray where it evaporates.
During the process of defrosting, the displayed temperature may be higher than the set temperature.
NOTE: You may notice condensation on the outer surface of the glass door. This occurs when water
vapor from the air contacts the cold surface of the door and the vapor condenses on the glass,
causing a fogging effect. In extreme situations, water can even drip off the door, indicating
excessive humidity in the environment.

OPERATION
Recommended temperatures for chilling wine (for model SWC1840):
Red Wines: 15 - 18°C (59 - 64.4°F)
Dry / White Wines:9 - 14°C (48.2 - 57.2°F)
Sparkling Wines: 5 - 8°C (41 - 46.4°F)
These temperatures may vary slightly depending on whether or not the interior light is ON or OFF,
and whether the bottles are located on the upper/middle or lower section.
The Controls of Your Appliance
The appliance should be placed where the ambient temperature is between 16 - 35°C (61 - 95°F). If
the ambient temperature is above or below this range, the performance of the unit may be affected.
For example, placing your unit in extremely cold or hot conditions may cause the interior temperature
to fluctuate.
H, I, and Jare the display lights for temperature settings.When His lit, the interior temperature range
is 15~20ºC (59~68ºF); when Iis lit, the temperature range is 9~14ºC (48~57ºF); when Jis lit, the
temperature range is 5~8ºC (41~46.4ºF).

the compartment; press it once again to turn off the lighting. If the light is left on, after 20 minutes it will
automatically turn itself off.

being set. Five seconds after Oor Pis pressed, Lwill show the actual temperature in the
compartment.
Mand Nindicate temperature units: Mis Fahrenheit and Nis Celsius. When Mor Nis lit, the
temperature is shown in Fahrenheit or Celsius respectively.
Oand Pare temperature adjustment buttons for the compartment. When you press “↑” or “↓”, the
set temperature will rise or drop. Each time you press one of these buttons, the set temperature will

Qis the button for changing the Fahrenheit/Celsius scale. The original setting is Fahrenheit. Pressing
Qone time will change the display to Celsius. Press one more time and the display will revert to
Fahrenheit. When the temperature display shows Celsius, Nis lit; when the display shows Fahrenheit,
Mis lit.
Ris the power switch. When the power cord is connected, press Rand the appliance will start
working. Pressing Ragain will cause the appliance to stop working; the display, fan and compressor
will all turn off. When the machine is turned off in this way (with power cord still connected), the
temperature setting will not change when Ris pressed again to turn the unit on. When the power cord
is disconnected or the power is otherwise cut off, the unit will return to its original setting of 12ºC when
Ris pressed. If the appliance has been off for less than 5 minutes, the compressor will not restart at
once when Ris pressed. This behavior is built into the control system to protect the compressor.
NOTE:
•If the unit is unplugged or turned off, or if there has been a power failure, you must wait 3 to 5
minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the appliance will
not start.
•When you use the appliance for the first time, or restart it after it has been shut off for a long time,
there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated
on the display. This is normal and due to the length of inactivation time. Once the appliance has
been running for a few hours, everything will be back to normal.
