IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your Wine Cooler, follow these basic  
precautions:  
Read all instructions before using your Wine Cooler  
An empty cooler can be a hazardous for children or small pets. If disposing of the cooler, remove  
gasket seals, latches, lids or the entire door from your unused Wine Cooler, or take other action to  
ensure the cooler is harmless.  
Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the Wine Cooler.  
Never clean Wine Cooler parts with flammable fluids or harsh chemicals. The fumes can create a fire  
hazard or explosion.  
Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any  
other Wine Cooler. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.  
Before using your Wine Cooler  
Remove the exterior and interior packing.  
Before connecting the Wine Cooler 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 Introduction  
The Wine Cooler is designed to be for free standing installation.  
WARNING: Do not store or install the Wine Cooler outdoors.  
CAUTION: This Wine Cooler is designed for storing and cooling wines. Do not store perishable  
food, medicine or other medical products.  
Place your Wine Cooler on a hard and level floor that is strong enough to support it when it is  
fully loaded.  
To level your Wine Cooler, adjust the leveling legs at the bottom of the Wine Cooler if needed. We  
do not recommend installing the Wine Cooler on carpet.  
For free standing installation, 6” of space from the back and 4” from both sides of the Wine  
Cooler are suggested. NOTE: DO NOT install the Wine Cooler near an oven or other heating  
source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical  
consumption. For best performance, do not install the Wine Cooler behind a cabinet door or block  
the vents.  
Avoid locating the Wine Cooler in area that may be exposed to excessive moisture.  
Plug in the Wine Cooler into an exclusive, grounded wall power 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 qualified electrician or an  
authorized service center.

Operation Guide  
Temperature Controls  
Use the temperature adjustment buttons on the control panel to change the set temperature. Press the “▼”  
button to lower the temperature or “▲” button to raise the temperature.  
The temperature inside the Wine Cooler is dependent on the ambient temperature (room temperature). The  
Wine Cooler temperature range is between 46 -65 degrees F.  
In red wine setting, the temperature range should be between 57 - 61 F and in white wine setting, the  
temperature range should be 54- 57 F. This is based on an ambient room temperature of 77F.  
Interior Light  
Your Wine Cooler has an interior light with on/off button. Turn the light on or off by pressing the button  
Levelling Legs  
Your Wine Cooler has 3 large levelling legs and 1 small levelling leg under the door hinge. To adjust these  
legs, carefully lean the Wine Cooler to one side (make sure it is emptied and the door is secured) and unscrew  
the legs to make them longer. Screw the legs tighter to make them shorter.  
Note: This Wine Cooler is not designed to operate without the levelling legs.  
Bottle Capacity  
The 20 bottle capacity listed for your Wine Cooler is an estimated maximum capacity base on a standard  
750ml wine bottle. For other size bottles, the capacity will vary.  
Wine Shelves  
This Wine Cooler is equipped with 5 scalloped stainless shelves from top to bottom. If you are having trouble  
fitting the stated listed number of bottles of wine in the Wine Cooler, try flipping the wine racks over. Please  
note that some models of Wine Coolers may have more slots for racks than the number of racks provided. To  
prevent damage to the door gasket, make sure the door is all the way opened when pulling the shelves out.  
For easy access of the wine bottles, you must pull the shelves approximately out of the railing.  
When removing the shelves out of the railing, make sure to remove all items first.  
To remove the shelves, pull the shelf forward through the rail carefully  
Transport the Wine Cooler  
The ideal packaging for the Wine Cooler is its original packaging. Please keep the original packaging handy  
and repack the Wine Cooler if you need to transport the unit.

Electrical Connection  
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have  
it replaced by a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.  
This Wine Cooler requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong.  
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly  
grounded. The cord should be secured behind the Wine Cooler and not left exposed or dangling to prevent  
accidental injury.  
The Wine Cooler should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating  
that matches the rating label on the Wine Cooler. This provides the best performance and also prevent  
overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the Wine Cooler  
by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace  
immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows  
cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the Wine Cooler, be careful not to  
damage the power cord.  
Extension Cord  
Because of potential safety hazards, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this  
Wine Cooler. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed,  
3-wire grounding type Wine Cooler extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the  
electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

Operating your Wine Cooler  
It is recommended you install the Wine Cooler in a place where the ambient temperature is between 70º-  
78ºF. If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures, the performance may be  
affected. For example, placing your Wine Cooler in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior  
temperatures to fluctuate.

49 ~ 51ºF  
Dry/WhiteWines

Whether your Wine Cooler can reach the actual set temperature depends on the ambient  
environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity  
Note:  
If the Wine Cooler is unplugged, encounter power lost, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before  
restarting the Wine Cooler.  
When the Wine Cooler is used for the first time or restarted after having been shut off for a long time,  
there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the  
display. This is normal and it is due to the length of the inactivation time.

Care and Maintenance  
Cleaning your Wine Cooler  
Turn off the power, unplug the Wine Cooler, and remove all items including shelves.  
Wipe the interior with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2  
tablespoons of baking soda to one quart of water.  
Wipe the shelves with a mild detergent solution.  
Wipe the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent.  
Do not use steel wool or steel brush on the stainless steel. These will erode the stainless steel and  
rusting may occur.  
Failure to unplug the Wine Cooler could result in electrical shock or personal injury.  
Premises Power Failure  
If a power failure occurs, the Wine Cooler will automatically reset to its factory setting.  
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your  
Wine Cooler if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be out for  
an extended 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 two days  
Long vacations: If the Wine Cooler will not be used for an extended period, remove all items and turn off  
the Wine Cooler. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.  
Moving your Wine Cooler  
Remove all items inside the Wine Cooler.  
Securely tape down (we recommend using painters tape) all loose items (shelves) inside your Wine  
Cooler.  
Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.  
Tape (we recommend using painter’s tape) the door shut.  
Be sure the Wine Cooler stays secure in the upright position during transportation and protect the  
exterior of Wine Cooler with a blanket, or similar item.  
Energy Saving Tips  
The Wine Cooler should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing  
Wine Coolers, and out of any direct sunlight.  
Ensure that the Wine Cooler is adequately ventilated. Never obstruct the air vents.  
Close the door tightly and do not open the Wine Cooler too frequently or for a long period of time.
