INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Location
•This wine preserver-dispenser is designed for freestanding installation only.
•It is recommended that this unit be kept in a location with an ambient
temperature range of 55°F-90°F. It is not intended for garage or basement
installation.
•Place the unit in a properly ventilated location to prevent heat build-up
generated by the refrigeration system. Failure to do so will prevent the unit
from cooling properly, and may result in damage to unit components as
well as its contents.
•Leave 5” clearance on all sides.
•Use the adjustable legs to position the unit level.

Electrical Cord
•Because of potential safety hazards under a certain condition, we
strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if
you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it
be a UL-listed 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord with a 3-
blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle. The marked rating of the
extension cord should be 115 V, 15 A.
Nitrogen Connection
1. Use the regulator to reduce the gas pressure to 3-5 psig.
2. Connect the nitrogen hose (0.25” OD) to the regulator by using quick
connect couplings.

ALARM SIGNALS
Code Description
Alarm Recovery
Probe alarms (P1) start a few seconds after the fault occurs in the related
probe; they automatically stop a few seconds after the probe restarts normal
operation. Check connections before replacing the probe. Temperature alarms
(“HA” and “LA”) automatically stop as soon as the temperature returns to a
normal value. “CA” Alarm (with i1F=PAL) recovers only by switching off and on
the instrument.
Temperature Set-Point
How to see the set-point
1. Push and immediately release the SET key: the display will show the
Set-point value.
2. Push and immediately release the SET key or wait for 5 seconds to
display the probe value again.
How to change the set-point

TROUBLESHOOTING
Refrigeration System
Complaint Possible Causes Response
Unit not
running a. Power cord unplugged
b. No power to unit
c. Defrost light blinking
d. Compressor light

e. Setting higher than

c. Unit is under defrost mode
d. Unit waits for anti-short cycle delay
e. Lower temperature setting
f. Contact an authorized electrician
g. Check all wirings and connections
Temperature
fluctuating a. Air sensor a. When using an air sensor, the wine
bottle temperature is mainly
controlled by the average air
temperature. If the set-point is 55F
with the differential 4F, the cooling
unit turns on at 59F of air
temperature and turns off at 55F of
air temperature. The average air
temperature is 57F, and then the wine
temperature is around 57+/-0.5F. The
air is light enough to change so
quickly that it maintains relatively
constant average temperature that
would prevent wine bottle
temperature from varying.

the goods have left the Seller’s premises, including, but not limited to, late delivery by the moving carrier, or for
events caused by any difficulty carrier incurs in attempting to fit the goods into the Purchaser’s place of business or
residence due to the size of the goods or otherwise. Purchaser assumes all responsibility for delivery, payment of
freight, access, measurement, installation, hook-up, wiring, moving and storage of the goods. The transportation of all
goods is subject to the terms and conditions which the moving carrier imposes on Purchaser including, but not limited
to, additional charges imposed per flight of stairs, and/or additional charges resulting from the carrier’s inability to

during shipment by the carrier of the goods are insured and handled directly with the carrier. Any damages due to
manufacture defects will be handled directly with Vinotemp International, subject to the limited warranty.
All sales are final, and unless authorized in writing by the Seller, Purchaser may not return the goods, under any
circumstance. If Purchaser refuses to accept the goods, under any circumstance, the Purchaser is liable for the return
and cost of freight both ways, and if Seller does take back the goods, there will be a restocking charge that is 35% of
the purchase price of the goods. Custom Cabinet and Racking are non returnable. Purchaser must notify Seller of non-
conforming goods within four days of delivery, after which time all goods are deemed accepted. If an order has been

card for any reason, Purchaser agrees to pay for all costs associated with the Seller’s connection or litigation of such a
claim, including without limitation extra damages, court costs and attorneys’ fees. Finance charges begin the date of
invoice. Collection fees plus NSF fee of $50 will be added to your invoice, which you agree to promptly pay. Title to
the goods does not pass until payment is received in full by Seller and Seller retains a security interest in the goods
until they are paid for in full.

follows: For the metal cabinet wine units: parts and labor for cooling system and cabinetry for a period of 12 (twelve)
months from date of sale, removal and re-installation of unit is not included in warranted labor. For a scratch and dent
or refurbished unit, warranty is 3 months from your dated invoice (parts for function only, not cosmetic). There is no
warranty on parts purchased separately. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy is limited, at Seller’s option; to repair or
replace defective part[s] with either new or factory reconditioned part[s]. Purchaser is responsible for shipping the
unit pre-paid to designated facility and Seller will pay return shipping charges in the continental United States for
