Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with
proper grounding to power the appliance.
• 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 appliance and may result in shock hazard.
Install Limitations
• Do not install your appliance in any location not properly insulated or heated e.g.
garage etc. Your appliance was not designed to operate in temperature settings
below 60° Fahrenheit.
• Select a suitable location for the appliance 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 appliance.
• 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.
Appliance Features and Use
Initial Setup
• Before connecting the appliance 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.

6
• 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 appliance is plugged in for the first time, the LED display will show the
factory preset temperature of 50°F.
• The appliance 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 appliance is empty.
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 tape from shelves once unit is stable and ready for bottle storage.
• 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. While
your appliance was designed to hold large format bottles, such as Pinot Noir and
Champagne, larger bottles reduce the number of bottles you can fit on a shelf.
• 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.
• Maximum weight capacity per shelf is 55 lbs.
•All shelves are full size steel with low profile scalloping to accommodate varying
bottle sizes except the shallow bottom wire shelf.
Charcoal Filter
Charcoal air filters ensure the natural ventilation and humidity control that
encourages wine to mature properly free from damaging odors.
We recommend you replace your filter every year, order part # 268 03 98 99 at
WineEnthusiast.Com.

7
Replacing the Charcoal Filter
Located on the back wall of your appliance, Turn
counterclockwise to unlock, then remove. Replace with a new
filter and turn clockwise to lock in place.

Proper Appliance Care and Cleaning
Cleaning and Maintenance
Warning: To avoid electric shock always unplug your appliance 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 2 cups of warm water or use one part borax for ten parts water
(about one cup per gallon). Use sponge or soft cloth, dampened with
the cleaning solution, to wipe down your appliance.
• 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 appliance.
Mold on the interior
Microscopic mold spores are naturally occurring and present in the
ambient air. When mold gets in your appliance 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.

20
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 appliance and clean the
appliance and door gaskets according to "General cleaning" section.
Leave doors open, so air can circulate inside.
• Always move the appliance 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
appliance.
Troubleshooting
Many common issues with your appliance can be easily solved. Try the troubleshooting
tips below if you experience any problems.
Appliance Does Not Operate:
• Check if appliance is plugged in.
• Check if there is power in the AC outlet, by checking the circuit
breaker.
Wine appears too warm:
• Frequent door openings.
• Allow time for recently added wine to reach desired temperature.
• Check gaskets for proper seal.
• Clean condenser coils.
• Adjust temperature control to colder setting.
