WARNING: Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If
the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an authorized
service center.
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this
appliance is equipped with a three pins plug which mates with standard three pins wall
outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong over cord supplied.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This appliance requires a standard 115 Volt AC~60Hz electrical ground outlet with three

7
pins. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2 pins wall outlet is encountered, it is your
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3 pins wall
outlet.
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to
prevent accidental injury.
The appliance 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 prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire
hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always
grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately
all power cords that have become fray
Ed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord thatshows cracks or abrasion damage along
its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the

longer accessible once the appliance has been built-in, suitable measures must be taken
during electrical installation to ensure that the appliance can be disconnected from the
mains.
Do not use your appliance with an extension cord unless this cord has been checked and
tested by a qualified technician or service person. The extension cord must be a
VED-Listed, 3 wire grounding extension cord that has a grounding plug and outlet and
that the electrical rating of the cord is 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

between 5-38℃/41-100℉. Humidity level is between 45~90%. If the position is above or
below this range, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing your
unit in extreme cod or hot conditions may cause interior temperature to fluctuate.

When you use the wine cooler for the first time or restart the wine cooler after having
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 LED readout . This is normal and
it is due to the length of the activation time. Once the wine cooler is running for a few
hours everything will be back to normal.
