SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important information regarding the proper installation, use,
and maintenance of your beverage fridge and wine cooler. Following this manual
will ensure that your product will work at its peak performance and efficiency.
If you are experiencing problems, check the “Troubleshooting” section of the
User Manual.
DISPOSAL OF REFRIGERATION APPLIANCES
Dispose of your appliance packaging properly. Refrigeration equipment must be
properly disposed of in an environmentally-friendly manner. This applies to any
old appliances and to your new unit once it reaches the end of its service life.
Please ensure that old or worn appliances are rendered unusable
before disposal by removing the plug, cutting the power cable,
and removing or destroying any snap fastenings or bolts. This will
prevent children from locking themselves in the appliance (risk of
suffocation) and endangering their lives in any other way.
WARNING
Risk of child entrapment. To avoid safety and suffocation risks for
children or pets, before you dispose of the appliance, take off the
doors and drawers and leave the shelves in place so children or
pets may not climb inside.
WARNING
The cooling system, particularly the heat exchange located at the back/bottom
of the unit, must not be damaged during installation or when using the appliance.
• This product is not to be handled as normal household waste — it should be
taken to a recycling collection point for electrical and electronic goods.
• By correctly disposing of this product you are contributing to the protection of
the environment. Improper disposal endangers health and the environment.
• Further information about the proper recycling of the product may be obtained
from your local government agency or waste collection department.

General Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
• Remove all exterior and interior packing materials.
• Before connecting the appliance to the electrical source, let it sit upright for
approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of malfunctions in the
cooling system caused by handling during shipping.
• Prior to use, clean the interior surface with warm water using a soft cloth.
• The door on this appliance is designed so it may be opened from either the left
or the right side. The unit is delivered with the door opening on the left side and
swinging out to the right. Should you wish to open the door from the right, see
installation instructions on page 15.
INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE
Do not store or install the appliance outdoors.
WARNING
• Wine coolers and beverage fridges are designed for either built-in or free-
standing installation.
• Place your unit on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully
loaded. Please note the units weigh roughly 136 to 144 pounds (62 to 65
kilograms) when empty, so adjust accordingly.
• To level your appliance, adjust the 4 legs by twisting clockwise or counter-
clockwise as needed until level.
• Install the appliance indoors and away from direct sunlight and sources of
heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Sunlight may affect the acrylic coating,
and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient
temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly.
• Never install the unit in damp or overly humid areas.
• Any questions concerning power and/or electrical connection should be
directed toward a qualified electrician, technician, or service provider.
• The air vent located at the bottom front of the appliance must never be covered
or blocked in any way.

General Safety

• The unit must be appropriately installed to all electrical connections in
accordance with state and local government codes.
• Please note that the cooler may experience decreased cooling efficiency if air
flow is restricted due to a fully loaded cabinet.
• Install the wine cooler or beverage fridge in a well-ventilated area where the
ambient temperature is above 50 °F and below 90 °F (above 10 °C and
below 32 °C).
ATTENTION
• Never overload the unit’s cabinet.
• Do not open the door unless necessary.
• Never cover shelves with aluminum foil or any other material that may prevent
air circulation.
• It’s recommended to unplug the appliance if it sits empty for long periods. After
cleaning, leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to avoid condensation,
mold, or odors from forming.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Improper use of the grounded plug can increase the risk of
electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by
a qualified electrician or authorized service provider.
WARNING
• This appliance must be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord
provided with this unit is equipped with a NEMA 5-15 plug that mates with
standard NEMA 5-15 wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
• Never cut or remove the third-ground prong from the supplied power cord.
• Have a qualified electrician check the wall outlet and electrical circuit to ensure
the appliance is properly grounded. When a standard two-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded NEMA 5-15 wall outlet.
