Installing Your Wine Cooler
Unpacking Your Wine Cooler
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all
adhesive tape holding the wine cooler accessories inside and outside.
Slide out and remove plastic or foam guard used to secure the
compressor from shipping damage due to vibration and shock.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed
materials before powering on the wine cooler.
Leveling Your Wine Cooler
• Your wine cooler has four leveling legs which are located in the
front and rear corners of your wine cooler. After properly placing your
wine cooler in its final position, you can level your wine cooler.
• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your
wine cooler or by turning them counterclockwise to lower
your wine cooler. The wine cooler door will close easier when the
leveling legs are extended.
Proper Air Circulation
• To assure your wine cooler works at the maximum efficiency it
was designed for, you should install it in a location where there
is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.
• The following are recommended clearances around the wine cooler:
Sides……………2 "(50mm)
Top....................2" (50mm)
Back..................2" (50mm)
• Do not over fill your wine cooler for proper internal air circulation.

English
Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet
(220~230
volts, 15 amps
outlet) with proper grounding to power the wine cooler.
• 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 cooler and may
result in shock hazard.
Install Limitations
• Do not install your wine cooler in any location not properly insulated or
heated e.g. garage etc. Your wine cooler was not designed to operate
in temperature settings below 13˚ Centigrade.
• Select a suitable location for the wine cooler 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 cooler.
• Your wine cooler is designed for free-standing installation only. It is not
designed for built-in application.

Wine Cooler Features And Use
Initial Setup
Electronic Controlled Units:
Once you have plugged the unit into an electrical outlet, let the unit run for
at least 30 minutes to acclimate itself before making any adjustments.
During this time the Red Wine light may stay on.
Mechanical Controlled Units:
The control for this is on the back of the unit. There are 6 settings
plus 0 (OFF). Initially set the temperature setting to 3. Let the unit run for at
least 30 minutes to acclimate itself before making any adjustments.
Temperature Adjustments:
Electronic Control Unit: See fig. # 1
• The wine cooler is preset from the factory to automatically
accommodate temperature requirements for red or white wines.
If you store mostly white wines, press the "White Wine" button and the
wine cooler will maintain an average temperature between
7˚ to 10˚ C. Pushing the "Red Wine" button will yield an
average temperature between 13˚ to 16˚ C.
• The wine cooler can be set to any temperature you desire to
accommodate your wine storage requirements. To set the temperature,
press both the "White Wine" and "Red Wine" buttons simultaneously
and hold for approximately 3 seconds. Now you are in temperature set
mode. Decrease the temperature by pushing the "White Wine" button
and increase the temperature by pressing the "Red Wine" button.
Pressing the appropriate button 3 times will adjust the temperature 3
degrees, press 4 times equals 4 degrees, 5 times equals 5 degrees, and
so on. Once you have selected the temperature you desire, push the
"Light/Set" button. Now the wine cooler is programmed and the LED
readout will return to current internal temperature reading.

• There will be a 3 degree variance +/- between the temperature you
select and the temperature indicated on the LED readout.
This occurs because the wine cooler activates and deactivates
trying to maintain your desired temperature. There is often a
10˚ variance between the top and bottom shelves of the wine cooler.
Therefore, if you have set the wine cooler for 10˚ and have a
mix of red and white wines, you may want to put the white wine
on the bottom shelf where the temperature will be 7˚ C, and place the
red wine on the top shelf where the temperature will be 13˚ C.
Mechanical Control Unit: See fig. # 2
• Your wine cooler has a temperature control knob on the back of the
unit. There are 6 settings: 1 being the warmest and 6 being the coolest.
You can set the temperature of your wine cooler at any
setting you desire.

Shelving
• The shelves are designed for flexibility and easy cleaning.
To accommodate different sized bottles the shelves slide out
and can be moved up or down into any of the tracks molded
into the cooler cabinet. Larger bottles or Magnums can be more easily
accommodated on the cross shelves of the bottom basket of the cooler.
You will notice that the shelves are designed so the bottles do
not line-up directly over one another. This allows free air
movement and provides more space.
Interior Light
• To complement the look of your wine collection, a soft light has been
built into the wine cooler. Simply push the "Light/Set" button on the
electronic controlled unit, and the light comes on, push again for off.
On the mechanical control units, the light switch is on the front for your
convenience. For maximum energy efficiency, leave light off when not
viewing your collection.
Door Lock (electronic controlled unit only)
• For safety and security, your wine cooler is equipped with a door lock.
To eliminate the risk of accidental child entrapment, the lock was
designed so that the door will not lock until the key is removed
(consistent with VDE requirements).
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.
