INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before using your wine chiller
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
oshelves
o2 Keys
oStainless Steel Handle
oInstruction Manual
Before connecting the Wine Chiller 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.
Installation of your wine chiller
This appliance is designed to be for free standing installation or flush-in.
Place your wine chiller on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level your wine
chiller, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom of the wine chiller.
Locate the wine chiller 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. Extreme cold
ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly.
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
Plug the Wine Chiller into an exclusive, properly installed-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 an authorized Products service center.
Electrical connection
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 an authorized service center.
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 standard three prong wall outlets 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 personal
safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This appliance requires a standard 115V/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong. 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. 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 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 with this appliance, it must be
operated by professionals.
Power bar with surge protection
Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are very susceptible
to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.
If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power surges / outages; it is
suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices / appliances you use. The surge
protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the appliance it is connected to. If you
have any questions regarding the type and size of surge protector needed contact a licensed electrician in your
area.
Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your product
warranty.

Charcoal filtration system
Your wine is a living object that breathes through the cork ofits bottle. In order to preserve the quality and taste
of your fine wines, they must be stored at the ideal temperature and ambient conditions. Your cellar is equipped
with an active charcoal filtration system to ensure air purity, cooling efficiency, and to maintain an odor free
cabinet for the storage of your fine wines. The filter assembly is located at the rear panel inside your cellar.
Keep in mind, that this filter must be changed every 12 months.
1
Remove the bottles of wine stored on the two (2)
shelves in front of the filter.
2
Remove the shelves and set aside to be replaced
once you have changed the filter
3
Hold the filter and turn it at 45 degrees in the
counter-clockwise direction and then pull it out.
4
Remove the existing filter and replace with a new
one.
