To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or injury when using your appliance, follow
these basic precautions:
•Read all instructions before using the Wine Cooler.
•DANGER or WARNING: 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: Take off 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.
•Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire
hazard or explosion.
•Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapours and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with a standard three-prong wall outlet to minimize the
possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
For your personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This appliance requires a standard 115 / 120 Volt AC ~/ 60Hz electrical grounded outlet. 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 a
licensed electrician replace it with a properly grounded 3-prong 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 overheating. 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 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 appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do
not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord
having a grounding type plug and outlet. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be 115 volts
and at least 10 amperes.

between 72º-78ºF (22º-25ºC). If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended
temperatures, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in extreme
cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate. The internal range of 40º-65ºF
(4º-18ºC) may not be reached.
Recommended Temperatures for Chilling Wine
Red Wines 58 - 65ºF 14 - 18ºC
Dry / White Wines 48 - 57ºF 10 - 13ºC

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR WINE COOLER
•Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves.
•Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be
about 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 L) of water.
•Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
•Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any
electrical parts.
•Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with
a clean soft cloth.
•Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel. These scrubbers will contaminate
the stainless steel with steel particles and rusting may occur.
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 proper steps to protect the appliance contents.
MOVING YOUR WINE COOLER
•Remove all items.
•Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
•Tape the door shut.
•Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. In addition,
protect the appliance exterior with a blanket or similar item.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
•The wine cooler should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
