Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with
proper grounding to power the wine vault.
• 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 vault and may result in shock hazard.
Install Limitations
• Do not install your wine vault in any location not properly insulated or heated
e.g. garage etc. Your wine vault was not designed to operate in temperature
settings below 50° Fahrenheit or above 100° Fahrenheit.
• Select a suitable location for the wine vault 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 vault.
• This appliance is designed for free standing installation only.
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 Vault Features and Use
Initial Setup
• Before connecting the wine vault 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.
Before You Start
The wine vault should be placed in a location where the ambient temperature is
between 50 - 100 degrees Fahrenheit. If the ambient temperature is above or
below 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.
Temperature Adjustment
• When the wine vault is plugged in for the first time, the LED display will show
the factory preset temperature.
• The wine vault can be set to any temperature between 41° and 66°F 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.
Shelving
(Type and number of shelves will vary per model)
Your cabinet was designed to store a maximum number of bottles securely. We
recommend that you observe the tips below to optimize loading:
• Remove packing materials once unit is stable and ready for storage.

7
• Disperse the bottles evenly to avoid concentrating weight in one place. Bottles
must not touch either the back of the cabinet or the step at the bottom.
• Make sure that the bottles are not all grouped together either at the top or
bottom of the cabinet.
• Only pull out one rolling shelf at a time. Never attempt to pull more than one.
• Maximum weight capacity per shelf is 100 lbs. You can increase your wine
vault’s storage capacity by removing shelves and stacking bottles on top of one
another.
• Do not stack more than 4 rows of bottles per shelf.
Removing the Shelf
To remove a rolling shelf:
1. Remove all bottles.
2. Pull the shelf out as far as it will go.
3. Push the left side lever downward while pushing the right side lever
upwards (as illustrated below).
4. Remove the shelf.

8
Rearranging the Shelf Layout
You can rearrange the configuration of your wine vault by moving the location of
your shelf brackets. To move a sliding shelf, first remove all bottles then remove
the rolling shelf as illustrated above. You are now ready to remove the shelf guide
rails.
To remove shelf slide rails:
1. Fully extend out the guide rail.
2. Lift the front of the guide rail upwards to separate from the wine vault
wall.
3. Pull guide rail towards you to completely release from wine vault.
4. Do not mix up the left and right guide rails.
Reposition guide rail to the new location and reinstall in reverse order.

Installing the Handle
1. Pull back the door seal behind handle location.
2. Insert screws into pre-drilled screw holes.
3. Attach handle and tighten screws.

Temperature Settings for Serving Wine
Although optimal storage temperature is generally regarded to be 53-57°F,
different varietals of wine require different service temperature settings. The
recommended temperature ranges for serving different varietals of wine are listed
below. Your Wine Vault will indicate when you have set the Upper/Lower zones to
the below temperature ranges.
Red Wines: 60-66°F
White Wines 45-52°F
Sparkling Wines 40-45°F
Interior Light
• To complement the look of your wine collection, a soft light has been built into
the Wine Vault. Simply push the "Light" button and the light comes on, push again
for off. For maximum energy efficiency, leave light off when not viewing your
collection.
Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear
• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of the
refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.
• The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.

Proper Wine Vault Care and Cleaning
Cleaning and Maintenance
Warning: To avoid electric shock always unplug your Wine Vault 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.
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 Vault.
• 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
Vault.
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.

14
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.
Vacation and Moving Care
• For long vacations or absences, unplug the Wine Vault and clean the
Wine Vault and door gaskets according to "General cleaning" section.
Leave doors open, so air can circulate inside.
• When moving always move the Wine Vault 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
vault.

15
