□Two people should be used when moving the appliance.
Remove interior and exterior packaging prior to installation. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a soft, dry cloth
and the inside with a lukewarm wet cloth.
Place the appliance on a oor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near sources of heat, such as a stove or heater, as this can increase
electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance to perform improperly.
Do not use the appliance near water, for example in a wet basement or near a sink.
This appliance is intended for household use only. It is not designed for outside installation, including anywhere that is
not temperature controlled (garages, porches, vehicles, etc.).
Before connecting the appliance to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately six hours. This will reduce the
possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
This appliance is 44.5 cm (17.5 inches) wide by 51 cm (20 inches) high by 50.5 cm (19.9 inches) deep. Do not cover
any of the ventilation openings with any material as the appliance needs adequate space to breathe.
Allow 12.7 cm (5 inches) of space between the back, sides and top of the appliance and all adjacent walls.
This appliance is intended for free-standing installation only and is not intended to be built into a cabinet or counter.
Building in this appliance can cause it to malfunction.

The thermostat dial (1) (not shown) is mounted on
the rear wall. It is for controlling the temperature
inside the wine cooler. The compressor activates
as soon as the temperature rises above the
desired level.
The tempered glass door (2) is tinted for UV
protection while still allowing for easy interior viewing.
The magnetic door gaskets (3) are tight tting seals
that retain all the cooling power and humidity levels.
The plastic coated shelves (4) are corrosion resistant,
rustproof, and removable for easy cleaning.
The leveling leg (5) adjusts to level the appliance.

The temperature is controlled by the temperature
knob on the back of the appliance.
On the graduated blue dial, the thicker, darker
blue indicates colder temperatures and the thinner,
lighter blue indicates warmer temperatures.
The internal temperature will vary depending on
the ambient room temperature, the quantity of wine
stored, and the frequency that the door is opened.
Setting the control knob to just past the middle point
of the graduated blue line should provide adequate
cooling.
To turn the appliance off, turn the control knob to
the “0” position.
There is an adjustable leg on the bottom of the
appliance that can be turned up or down to ensure
that the appliance is level.
Turn the leveling leg counterclockwise as far as
it will go, until the top of the foot is touching the
bottom of the cabinet.
Slowly turn the leveling leg clockwise until the
appliance is level.

Ensure the appliance is unplugged before cleaning.
□To clean the inside of the appliance, use a soft cloth and a solution of a tablespoon of baking soda to one quart
of water, or a mild soap solution, or some mild detergent.
□Wash removable shelves in a mild detergent solution, then dry and wipe with a soft cloth.
□Clean the outside with a soft, damp cloth and some mild detergent.
□It is important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the cabinet. Clean this area with a soapy cloth.

ammonia or alcohol on the appliance.
Ammonia or alcohol can damage the
appearance of the appliance. Never use
any commercial or abrasive cleaners or
sharp objects on any part of the appliance.
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you
minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, take the
proper steps to protect your contents.

attempting to restart the refrigerator if
operation has been interrupted.

from the appliance is channeled into a drip tray located above the compressor. Heat transfer from the compressor
causes the defrost water to evaporate.
