ENTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT AND EFFICIENT USE
• THE WINE CELLAR requires a power supply of 115 VAC and
60Hz. Make certain that you connect the CELLAR to a proper
voltage supply.
• THE DIGITALLY CONTROLLED TEMPERATURE SYSTEM WILL
AUTOMATICALLY MAINTAIN the proper storage temperature for
different wines: red wines are stored in the upper section of the
cabinet, and white wines are stored in the lower section. Two
arrows can be found in the inner cabinet: “ red wine ” with upward
arrow and “ white wine ” with down ward arrow.
• Temperature indication: On the control panel, you can find two
indicators: upper one marked “R” is for red wine, and “ W”
is for white wine. The temperature for each zone will be
displayed as follows: when the upper indicator on LED displays
the temperature for red wine zone; for white wine zone
temperature, the lower indicator will be on. When the actual
cabinet temperature is lower than 22° F, the LED will display
“ LL” ; when it is higher than 99° F, “ HH ” will be displayed in
the LED; when there may be a power disruption the panel will
display “ER” .
• Temperature setting:
The temperature pre-set by the manufacturer is 55° F average.
When it is pre-set, the upper section temperature is higher than
the lower section accordingly. Five seconds after setting, the LED
will show the actual cabinet temperature. After the machine has
been working for 24 hours, the temperature of the inner cabinet
will be relatively balanced.
Re-setting by user:
When the cellar is initially connected to the power, press the “set”
button. The LED will display the factory pre-set temperature of
55° F and the white wine indicator is on. If you wish to re-set the
5
VT200050802VT-V6

temperature, you can re-set by pressing the button “ + ” or “ - ” until
the desired temperature is reached. When re-setting, press button
“+” one time to increase temperature by 1 0 F and will
similarly decrease the setting. The overall temperature range for
setting is 48 0 F - 65 0 F.
• The controller does not possess memory function when the
power is off.
• Reduce the frequency of opening the door to conserve energy and
maintain proper storage temperature inside. Do not keep the door
open for any longer than necessary.
• You may turn on the interior light to enhance the display of your
fine wines. Please note that the light can produce some heat,
therefore, extended or prolonged lighting can affect inner storage
temperature.
• When the power is initially turned on or when the power comes
on again after replaced with a longer power cord, the WINE
CELLAR may run continuously for several hours in order to cool
the entire cabinet to the normal operating temperature. When the
interior temperature has stabilized, the WINE CELLAR will enter
the automatic control mode.
• Depending on location and usage, the WINE CELLAR compressor
may work more continuously on hot days, and work relatively
less in cold days.
• The automatic self-defrost system will eliminate any frost or
moisture from the inner cabinet.
• If instructions are followed according to manufacturer's
specifications, the compressor will offer worry-free operation.
• This unit is not designed for use in the garage or other extreme
application.
