STOP!
BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING!
Do not plug the wine cooler into a power outlet
until it has been resting in its upright position
for at least six (6) hours.
If the wine cooler has been laid on its side, placed upside down
or tilted more than 45° during moving or transport, it is extremely
important to allow the refrigerant and compressor oil to separate
and settle so the compressor operates properly. Failure to do
so will cause severe mechanical problems with the unit’s motor/
compressor, and will void the warranty.
INSTALLATION
TRANSPORT
Use two or more people to move the wine cooler.
Do NOT use stainless steel handle to move or lift the unit.
VENTILATION SPACE
In order for the wine cooler to function efficiently, it MUST be placed in an adequately ventilated
space to allow for heat dissipation. It is important to allow at least 4 inches (100 mm) of space
behind and on each side, and 8 inches (200 mm) of space above the unit.
The door requires approximately 22” (558 mm) of space in front of the wine cooler to open. To fully
utilize the unit, space should be allowed for the door to open fully to 160º.
STABLE SURFACE
The wine cooler must be placed on a flat, stable surface. Adjust the unit’s front leveling legs to
assure quiet operation and prevent rattling when the compressor activates.
IMPORTANT: Never place the unit on soft materials such as foam, plastic or thick textured carpeting.

INSTALLATION
POWER SUPPLY
This wine cooler is equipped with a 115V/60Hz single phase motor. If the power supply to the unit
is subject to large fluctuations, it is strongly advised to utilize a wall-mounted power conditioner
surge protection device to prevent damage to the electronic components and motor.
The power plug is a standard grounded three-prong non-polarized flush mount, which allows for
easier connection to power outlets.
Power plug must be connected to the outlet directly, and never to an extension cord.
POWER CORD
Never shorten or lengthen the power cord. Do not fold or coil the power cord.
IMPORTANT - Never place the excess length of power cord into the compressor enclosure in the
back of the wine cooler. This action creates a dangerous heat build-up which can melt the cord,
cause an electrical hazard and may potentially cause a fire.
Touching the power cord to the compressor at the back of the unit during operation can create an
electrical hazard and damage the compressor.
If the power cord is damaged, it must immediately be replaced by a trained service provider, as
special tools are required.
CLEAN BEFORE USE
To remove any manufacturing dust and residual odors, wipe the wine cooler inside and out with
a damp cloth and a solution of baking soda and warm water (2 tbsp. baking soda to 1 qt. water).
Wipe away any residual baking soda with a clean moist cloth. Allow to dry before operating.
Periodically clean the wine cooler with a sponge or cloth moistened with mild soapy water, or
baking soda and water.
PROTECT FROM MOISTURE
Heavy moisture in the environment can cause degradation to the insulation, as well as rust to the
cabinet, compressor and/or power supply.
Do not spray the wine cooler with water.
PROTECT FROM HEAT
Place the wine cooler away from heat source or direct sun.
The hotter the operating environment, the harder the compressor has to work to keep the contents
cold, which will shorten the operating life.
Do not cover the wine cooler with tarps or other items while operating, as this may cause
overheating.
IMPORTANT: Do not cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord.
IMPORTANT: Never use with an extension cord.

INSTALLATION
- 5 -
Align the stainless steel handle door handle with the
mounting studs. Make sure the holes in the mounting
bracket are facing down.
Take care to not overtighten the set screws to prevent
damage to the mount or door.
Locate the two mounting studs protruding from the
exterior stainless steel door frame.
Insert the included set screws into the holes. Use
the included Allen key to tighten both the top and
bottom mounts.
IMPORTANT: NEVER LAY THE WINE COOLER ON ITS BACK.
The compressor and motor components are installed at the back of the unit and may easily be
damaged if the wine cooler is placed on its back.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE STAINLESS STEEL HANDLE TO MOVE OR LIFT THE UNIT.

INSTALLATION
USING YOUR WINE COOLER
The wine cooler is designed for the storage of wine.
After connecting the wine cooler to a wall outlet, you will immediately hear a short beep.
Use the ∧and ∨buttons to set the set the desired temperature.
Fahrenheit range: 33º – 50ºF
Celsius range: 1º – 10ºC.
NOTE:
Press the “light” and “power” buttons simultaneously for two seconds to convert the thermostat
display between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
After setting the desired temperature, the thermostat displays the current temperature inside
the wine cooler. As the cooler chills over several hours, the display adjusts to reflect the interior
temperature.
Allow the wine cooler to completely chill to the specified temperature prior to adding wine.
To ensure proper cooling, do not overload the unit.
Press and hold the “power” button for three seconds to turn the cooler off.
LED LIGHT
The LED automatically turns on and off each time the door is opened or closed.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- 8 -
SHUTDOWN
If the wine cooler will not be in use for a long period of time, disconnect it from the power outlet,
clean inside thoroughly and leave the door open to prevent mildew.
SAFETY WARNING
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
This wine cooler should not be positioned within a recessed or enclosed cabinet. It is designed for
freestanding installation only. This unit is not designed to be installed in a RV, garage or any outside
installation.
The surface of the compressor may become hot during normal operation. Do not touch as this may
cause injury.
OTHER DANGERS
Keep the wine cooler away from any combustible or volatile liquids or gases, including gasoline, oil,
alcohol, paint, paint thinners and solvents. Such chemicals should never be stored in the unit.
It is important to periodically clean and maintain the wine cooler. When performing maintenance,
make certain the unit is unplugged from the power outlet.
Wipe the inner and outer surfaces of the wine cooler clean with a damp cloth. If needed, use a
gentle detergent or a solution of baking soda and water. Remove any residue with clean water and
a soft cloth, then dry with another cloth.
Once clean, you may use a common kitchen appliance wax on outer surfaces.
Inspect, clean and maintain the rubber gasket around the door. A small amount of petroleum jelly
applied to the bracket side of gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and ensure a good seal.
IMPORTANT:
- Do NOT use hot water, harsh detergents, gasoline, kerosene, solvents, acids or anything
flammable to clean the wine cooler. These can damage the paint and degrade the plastic
components.
- Do NOT spray the wine cooler with water as this may cause rust and degrade the insulation.
