INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before using your wine cellar:
•Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•Check to be sure the following parts are included:
o6 Slide out shelves
o1 Instruction manual
•Before connecting the appliance 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 before first use.
How to install your handle:
•Open the door
•Gently remove gasket (seal) from door frame
•Insert both handle screws into the designated holes
•Place the handle against opposite side of the door and line up handle with
screws
•Use a screwdriver to fasten together (Do NOT over tighten)
•Replace gasket into the door frame
POSITIONING YOUR WINE CELLAR
•Place your appliance on a floor or other solid, flat surface that is strong enough
to support the appliance when it is fully loaded. To level your appliance, adjust
the front legs at the bottom of the appliance.
•Cellar must be placed as a freestanding unit—not to be built in.
•When positioning the cooler, leave a minimum of 6 inches at the back of the
cooler, 10-12 inches on each side of the cooler. This will ensure proper air
circulation.
•The unit is designed for freestanding installation only. It is not designed to be
installed under a counter, inside a cabinet, or in any location that does not allow
the proper clearances on all sides, as stated above.
•For proper installation, keep away from direct sunlight and sources of heat
(stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the coating and heat
sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold or hot ambient
temperatures may cause the appliance not to perform properly.
•Not designed for placement in garage or basement. Designed for indoor, home
use only.

OPERATING YOUR WINE CELLAR
It is recommended that you install the wine cellar in a place where the ambient
temperature is between 50°F and 80°F. If the ambient temperature is above or
below recommended temperature, the performance of the unit may be affected. For
example, placing in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperature
to fluctuate. Internal range of 54-66°F may not be reached. The temperature 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. Close the cooler door
immediately after putting in any items so the inside temperature will not rise
dramatically.
How to use the buttons on the Display Panel:
You can set the temperature as you desire by pressing the control panel buttons.
There are two buttons on the panel “ ” and “ ” to adjust the temperature by 1°F
between 54-66 °F.
You can turn the interior light on or off by pressing the “ ” button.
