Installation Instruction
1. Cellar Inspection
•Note any damage by yourself and the installation personals.
•Claim the damage with 5 days after receipt.
2. Cellar Location
•Place the wine cellar in a properly ventilated location. If it is not, heat
exhausted by the unit will build up and the unit will not operate properly.
•Leave 4~6 “clearance between the exhaust side and the wall or ceiling.
•Leave 2~4” clearance for the fresh air supply side.
•Leave 1~2” for the other sides.
3. Level Adjusting
•Adjust the level by raising and lowering the feet height using a wrench
•Ensure the cabinet stand solidly and the doors flush and seal well.
4. Electrical Cord
•We strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if
you still select to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it is
a UL LISTED 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord. The
marked rating of the extension cord should be 115 V, 15 A. or equivalent
and not greater than 15ft in length.

5. Winemate Installation
•Unplug the wine cellar or disconnect power.
•Unplug the light from receptacle.
•Unscrew the 2 screws and remove the light.
•Unplug the Winemate cooling unit from receptacle.
•Use 7/16” wrench to unscrew the 2 screws and remove the 2 brackets
•Move the cooling unit away from the mounting side and place it on the top
of the rack temporally
•Remove the cooling unit to a stable place.

6. Cellar Disassembly
•Use 4 mm hex wrench, ¼” nut driver and Phillips head screw driver to
unscrew and remove all the screws and nuts from panels and feet.

Use & Temperature Control
1. Bottle Load
1. Wine Bottle 2. Rack
•Unless otherwise modified, the standard rack cubicle is 3 3/8”X3 3/8” to
accommodate the traditional cabernets standard 750 ml Burgundy or
Bordeaux bottles.
•Customize 3 ¾” for French Burgundy, 4” for Dom Perignon, 4 ½” for
Magnums.
•Load wine bottles starting from the bottom; locate the bottles evenly from
left to right. This will prevent the cellar from shifting and potentially
knocking the doors out of alignment.
•Keep the rack open by every few bottles to allow the free airflow.
•Load the cellar with 2 cases of bottles everyday to allow the cellar cool
down rapid.
2. Temperature Control
•Set the temperature at 55 °Ffor the optimum aging of wine
•Set the temperature higher at very high ambient temperature.
•On initial start-up, the time required to reach the desired temperature
will vary, depending on the quantity of bottles, temperature setting
and surrounding temperature.
•Allow at least 24 hours to stabilize the temperature for each new
temperature setting operation
