WINE COOLER INSTALLATION
Before Using Your Wine Cooler
•Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•Before connecting the wine cooler to the power source, let it stand upright for
approximately 24 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.
Installation of Your Wine Cooler
•Place your wine cooler on a surface that is strong enough to support it when
it is fully loaded. To level your wine cooler, adjust the front leveling leg at the
bottom of the wine cooler.
•Locate the wine cooler 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 to not perform properly.
•Avoid locating the unit in areas with high humidity.
•Plug the wine cooler 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The wine cooler should be placed in an area where the ambient temperature is
between 41°-95° Fahrenheit. If the ambient temperature is above or below this
range, it may affect the cooler’s ability to maintain its set temperature. For
example, placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause the
interior temperature to fluctuate, which can make it difficult for the unit to
achieve an interior temperature within the 40°-54° F range for the top zone, and
54°-65° F range for the bottom zone.
The above temperatures may fluctuate depending on whether or not the interior
light is ON or OFF, or whether the bottles are located on the upper/middle or
lower section.
