Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with
proper grounding to power the wine cellar.
• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order to
accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no
effective grounding for the wine cellar and may result in shock hazard.
• Avoid installing the unit on circuits which may also have other high amperage
appliances in use.
Install Limitations
• Do not install your wine cellar in any location not properly insulated or heated
e.g. garage etc. Your wine cellar was not designed to operate in temperature
settings below 60° Fahrenheit.
• Select a suitable location for the wine cellar on a hard even surface away from
direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking
appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs
located on the front and rear bottom corners of the wine cellar.
• This appliance is designed for free standing installation or can be recessed into
cabinetry.
Use of Extension Cords
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will
accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

Wine Cellar Features and Use
Your Wine Cellar Includes the following:
•Instruction manual
•2 drawer handles
•3 rolling pull-out shelves
•Beverage compartment divider
•2 Anti-tip brackets
Initial Setup
• Before connecting the wine cellar 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.
• Once you have plugged the unit into an electrical outlet, let the unit run for at
least 30 minutes to acclimate before making any adjustments.
Temperature Adjustment
• When the wine cellar is plugged in for the first time, the LED display will show
the factory preset temperature of 50°F.
• The wine cellar can be set to accommodate your wine storage requirements. To
set the temperature, press the up or down arrow button to increase or decrease
the temperature setting until the desired temperature is attained. It may take
some time to reach the set temperature.
•The temperature will fluctuate more so when the wine cellar is empty.
•In the event of a power interruption, your wine cellar has a memory function and
will revert to the previous user settings once power is restored.

7
Shelving
Your cabinet was designed to store a maximum number of bottles securely. We
recommend that you observe the tips below to optimize loading:
• Remove tape from shelves once unit is stable and ready for bottle storage.
• Make sure that the bottles are not all grouped together either at the top or
bottom of the cabinet.
• Only pull out one shelf at a time, never attempt to pull out more than one.
• Rated shelf capacity is based on standard 750 ml Bordeaux wine bottles.
Before You Start
The appliance should be placed in a location where the ambient temperature
is between 61°-109°F (16°-43°C). If the ambient temperature is outside this
range, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing
your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures
to fluctuate.

the below temperature ranges.
Red Wines: 60-66°F
White Wines 45-52°F
Sparkling Wines 40-45°F
Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear
• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of the

Proper Wine Cellar Care and Cleaning
Cleaning and Maintenance
Warning: To avoid electric shock always unplug your wine cellar before cleaning.
Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury.
Caution: Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.

14
General: • Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed
with warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth, dampened with the
cleaning solution, to wipe down your wine cellar.
• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach,
concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of
these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your wine
cellar.
Mold on the interior
Microscopic mold spores are naturally occurring and present in the
ambient air. When mold gets in your wine cellar it may grow within the
humid environment. Removal can be completed with mild solutions of
commonly available products such as Borax, vinegar, or baking soda.
Door Gaskets:
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to general
instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable to assure a
proper seal.
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets will keep
the gasket pliable and assure a good seal.
Power Interruptions
• Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms
or other causes. Remove the power cord from AC outlet when a power
outage occurs. When power has been restored, wait 3 to 5 minutes
then re-plug the power cord to AC outlet.

15
Vacation and Moving Care
• For long vacations or absences, unplug the wine cellar and clean the
wine cellar and door gaskets according to "General cleaning" section.
Leave doors open, so air can circulate inside.
• Always move the wine cellar vertically. Do not move with the unit
lying down, as possible damage to the sealed system could occur.
Note: After moving, wait for 24 hours before plugging in the wine
cellar.
