INSTALLATION

Remove all packing material before using your beverage cooler.
Check to be sure you have all of the parts and an owner's manual.
IMPORTANT: Before connecting the unit to a 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.
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
Place the beverage cooler on a flat, dry surface that is strong enough to support it when it is fully
loaded. Use the adjustable (iron case) to place the cellar fully horizontal.
To level the beverage cooler, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom of the beverage cooler.
This unit is designed for freestanding installation only.
This unit is not designed for installation in a garage, basement, or any other location where a
controlled ambient environment between 60°F and 90°F cannot be maintained.
Avoid placing the beverage cooler near any source of heat or moisture, or in direct sunlight.
Extreme hot and cold ambient temperatures may cause the unit not to perform properly or
increased electrical consumption.
Do not place the unit next to a major appliance that emits large amount of heat, such as
dishwasher, microwave, oven, etc.
Do not plug unit into the same outlet as a refrigerator or microwave.
For freestanding installation, leave a minimum of 10-12 inches (25.4-30.4 cm) clearance on each
side, 6 inches (15.2 cm) clearance at the back side, and unlimited clearance at the top of the wine
cooler are suggested to ensure proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
This unit is not designed to be installed under a counter, inside a cabinet, or in any lo cation that
does not allow the proper clearances on all sides.
Do not place heavy articles on the top of the cellar.
Do not slide the unit into place.
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
Plug the beverage cooler into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under
any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized
Products service center.
Power bar with surge protection
Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are very susceptible to
power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.
If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power surges / outages; it is
suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices / appliances you use. The surge protector
that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the appliance it is connected to. If you have any
questions regarding the type and size of surge protector needed contact a licensed electrician in your area.
Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your product warranty.
