INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Wine Cellar
Remove the Packaging
■Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the wine cellar. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap
over the adhesive with your ngers. Wipe with warm water
and dry.
■Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, ammable
uids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your wine cellar. For
more information, see “Wine Cellar Safety.”
■Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your wine cellar before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
“Wine Cellar Care.”
Door Closing
Your wine cellar has four leveling legs. If your wine cellar seems
unsteady or you want the door to close more easily, adjust the
wine cellar’s tilt using the instructions below.
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Move the wine cellar into its nal location.
3. Turn the leveling legs to the right to lower the wine cellar or
turn the leveling legs to the left to raise it. It may take several
turns of the leveling legs to adjust the tilt of the wine cellar.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the wine
cellar takes some weight off the leveling legs. This makes it
easier to adjust the leveling legs.
4. Open the door and check that it closes as easily as you like.
If not, tilt the wine cellar slightly more to the rear by turning
both front leveling screws to the left. It may take several
more turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same
amount.

WINE CELLAR USE
Normal Sounds
Your new wine cellar may make sounds that your old one
didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, such as the ooring and surrounding structures, can
make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds
of sounds and what may be making them.
■Your wine cellar is designed to run more efciently to keep
your wine at the desired temperatures and to minimize energy
usage. The high efciency compressor and fans may cause
your wine cellar to run longer than your old one. You may also
hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor
or fans adjusting to optimize performance. Remove Door and
Hinges.
■Rattling noises may come from the ow of refrigerant or items
stored inside the wine cellar.
■As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the
refrigerant owing in your wine cellar.
■You may hear water running into the drain pan when the wine
cellar is defrosting.
■You may hear clicking sounds when the wine cellar starts or
stops running.

WINE CELLAR CARE
Cleaning
Clean the wine cellar about once a month to avoid buildup of
odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
To Clean Your Wine Cellar:
1. Unplug wine cellar or disconnect power.
2. Remove all racks from inside the wine cellar.
3. Clean the interior.
Style 1 - Models with stainless steel trim
Using a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent dissolved
in warm water, hand wash and rinse thoroughly the removable
parts and interior surfaces. Dry with a soft cloth.
Style 2 - Models with wooden trim
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging wooden trim pieces, wipe the
trim with a clean sponge or soft cloth and warm water. Do not use
detergent or immerse the entire rack into water when cleaning.
Using a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent dissolved
in warm water, hand wash and rinse thoroughly the removable
parts and interior surfaces. Dry with a soft cloth.
■Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, ammable uids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing
petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners
or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other
harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or damage materials.
■To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26g to
0.95L] of water).
4. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do
not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing
chlorine. These can scratch or damage materials. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth.
NOTE: To keep your stainless steel wine cellar looking like new
and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use
the manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish.
To order the cleaner, see “Accessories.”
IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only.
Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come into
contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser
covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean
plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth.
5. Replace the racks.
6. Clean the condenser coils regularly. They are located behind
the base grille. Coils may need to be cleaned as often as
every other month. This may help save energy.

Try the solutions suggested here rst in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Your wine cellar will not operate
■Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
■Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.
■Is the Wine Cellar Control turned to the OFF position?
See “Using the Control.”
The lights do not work
■Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
■Your wine cellar is equipped with LED lighting which does not
need to be replaced. If there is power to the wine cellar and
the lights do not illuminate when the door is opened, call for
service or assistance.
The motor seems to run too much
■Is the temperature outside hotter than normal? Expect
the motor to run longer under warm conditions. At normal
temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of
the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more
of the time.
Is the door opened often? Expect the motor to run longer when
this occurs. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you
need out of the wine cellar at once, keep wine bottles positioned
label side up so that they are easy to nd, and close the door as
soon as the wine is removed.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions?
See “Using the Control.”
Is the door closed completely? Push the door rmly shut. If it
will not shut all the way, see “The door will not close completely”
later in this section.
Are the condenser coils dirty? This obstructs air transfer and
makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. See
“Cleaning.”
Temperature is too warm
■Is the door opened often? Be aware that the wine cellar
will warm when this occurs. In order to keep the wine cellar
cool, try to get everything you need out of the wine cellar at
once, keep wine bottles positioned label side up so that they
are easy to nd, and close the door as soon as the wine is
removed.
■Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions?
See “Using the Control.”
■Is the base grille blocked? For best performance, do not
install the wine cellar behind a cabinet door or block the base
grille.
There is interior moisture buildup
■Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity buildup, try to
get everything you need out of the wine cellar at once, keep
wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy
to nd, and close the door as soon as the wine is removed.
When the door is opened, humidity from the room air enters
the wine cellar. The more often the door is opened, the faster
humidity builds up, especially when the room itself is very
humid.
■Is it humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside the
wine cellar when the air is humid.
■Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions?
See “Using the Control.”
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.

The door is difcult to open
■Is the gasket dirty or sticky? Clean the gasket and the

gasket following cleaning.
The door will not close completely
■Are the racks out of position? Put the racks back into their
correct positions. See “Wine Cellar Use” for more information.
■Is the gasket sticking? Clean the gasket and the surface
that it touches. Rub a thin coat of parafn wax on the gasket
following cleaning.
■Is the door installed properly? If the door was reversed
improperly, re-installation may be required. See “Reverse Door
