Risk of child entrapment
Before disposing of your appliance, ensure that the door(s) are removed. Shelves should also be left in place to help avoid children climbing inside. Never allow a child to operate, play with or climb inside the appliance.

GROUNDED PLUG

To reduce the risk of electric shock this appliance has a grounded plug (2 blades and 1 pin). If the plug does not fit fully into the electrical outlet contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way or use an adaptor.

Use an exclusive wall outlet. Do not connect your unit to extension cords or together with any other appliance in the same wall outlet. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

INSTALLATION

BEFORE USING YOUR WINE CELLAR

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Before connecting the Wine Cellar to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

INSTALLATION OF YOUR WINE CELLAR

• This appliance is designed for free standing installation. Allow 2" (50 mm" of space between the unit's side and 4" (100 mm) between back and the wall.
  
• Place your Wine Cellar on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level your Wine Cellar, adjust the front leveling leg at the bottom of the Wine Cellar.
• Locate the Wine Cellar away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct 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.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
• Plug the Wine Cellar 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 about power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized products service center.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Insert the power plug into the power socket. Make sure the power socket is 110-120V AC/60Hz.
   
2. Set the desired cooling temperature by pressing the buttons or to set your desired temperature. Each depression of the buttons will scroll through the available temperature settings. Numbers will flash while setting. Solid numbers indicate the current internal temperature in Fahrenheit degrees.
3. Allow the empty Wine Cellar to operate for approx. 3 hours. This will allow it to reach the desired temperature.
4. Fill the wine cooler with your choice of wine bottles. Allow 24 hours of operation before the bottles reach the desired temperature.
5. The centre touch control button operates both the interior light and switches the temp. display from Celsius to Fahrenheit. Touch once to turn the interior light on or off. To switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit, hold button for 4 seconds.

The Wine Cellar should be placed where the ambient temperature is between 59°F to 77°F (15°C to 25°C). 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.

RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES FOR CHILLING WINE

Red Wines: 58-65°F (15-18°C)
White Wines 46-57°F (8-15°C)

The above temperatures may fluctuate depending on whether the interior light is ON or OFF or the bottles are located on the upper/middle/lower section

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR WINE CELLAR

• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves and rack.
• Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda with a quart of water.
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

POWER FAILURE

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your contents.

VACATION TIME

• Short vacations: Leave the WINE COOLER operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent door and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.

MOVING YOUR WINE COOLER

• Remove all items.
• Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
• Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket, or similar item.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

The Wine Cellar should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
