If your appliance has a moulded plug, you do
NOT have to do the following assembly as shown
in Figure 1. Appliances with moulded plugs are
ready to use as is.
How to Operate Your
Refrigerated Wine Cooler
Set the Control: The total available temperature
range of the unit is from 5°C to 17°C. The middle
range on the control is approximately 13°C. The tem-

variance at different loca-
Live to the terminal marked L, or coloured Red or Brown
tions within the cabinet. For example, the coolest bot-
tles will be in the middle shelves. The bottles on the
top two shelves will be 1°C to 2°C warmer. This is the
warmest location. The bottles in the front of the
shelves will be 1°C to 2°C warmer than the rear of the
shelves. Position your wine inventory accordingly. To
start your appliance, use a screwdriver to turn the
control clockwise to the middle thermostat setting
(see figure 2). Once the bottles are loaded, allow at
least 48 hours for the unit to stabilize before making
any adjustments to the initial setting.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire
are retained in each terminal. The flexible mains
cable, plug and socket must not be exposed to flue
products or be allowed to come in contact with a hot
surface. The cable must not be trapped or pulled taut
when the appliance is pushed into position.

Insert Wine Bottles: The top two fixed-in-place racks
each hold six bottles, two deep with the necks alter-
nating front (rear bottles) to back (front bottles), See
figure 3. The middle four slide-out racks each hold
eight bottles, two deep with necks alternating front
(rear bottles) to back (front bottles). The bottom rack
holds six bottles that are loaded with necks facing the
rear. Tall bottles should not be loaded on the bottom
rack because they may prevent the door from closing.

Loading Tips and Suggestions:
Appliance Features
Adjustable Temperature Control: The temperature
control is fully adjustable from 5°C to 17°C. The range
allows flexibility of temperature preferences and pro-
vides the ideal wine aging and storing temperatures.
Bottom rack may be removed for storing “jug” wines.
You may store magnums and other large bottles on the
bottom floor rack or you may store magnums and other
large bottles on any of the slide-out racks by removing
the rack directly above them, except for the top rack.
Interior Light and Switch:
The interior light makes it easy
to view your wine labels and
enhances the display of your
collection. When the switch is
in the “OFF” position, the light
will come on when the door is opened.
Position white wines on the middle or lower racks and
red wines on the upper racks.
The bottles on the top rack directly under the light will
be exposed to a slightly higher temperature when the
light is on. Position your wines accordingly and
REMEMBER TO TURN OFF THE LIGHT WHEN IT IS
NO LONGER NEEDED.
Slide-out Racks: The
middle four racks may
be pulled out approxi-
mately 140 mm to facili-
tate adding or removing
bottles. Do not lean on
Keep wines that you plan to use for everyday drinking
and entertaining on the front half of the racks where
labels are completely visible. Place wines for aging or

or press down heavily
on the wine shelves. Doing so may damage the shelves
and the wine bottles stored on them. Pull the wine racks
out gently and carefully to minimize unsettling your wine
collection. Avoid pulling out more than one rack at any
time to maintain stability.
How to Clean and
Maintain Your Wine Cooler
Single Bottle Racks:
Because bottles are not
stacked on top of each
other, you can easily
view and access your
inventory without disturb-
ing other bottles.
Condenser: The condenser tubing inside the cabinet
does not require frequent cleaning; however, satisfacto-
ry cooling depends on adequate ventilation over the
coils. Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air flow
openings in front of the cabinet. At least once or twice a
year brush or vacuum lint and dirt from the grille. Also at
least once or twice a year brush or vacuum lint and dirt
from the condenser for efficient performance by
unscrewing the grille on the bottom front of the cabinet.
Important Safety Issue
Cabinet: The painted cabinet can be washed with mild
soap and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water.
Never use abrasive scouring powders.
A cabinet “anti-tip” device is mounted to the back of
your wine cooler.
If your installation is a built-in undercounter application,
you do not need to apply this feature.
Interior: Wash interior compartment with mild soap and
water. Do not use an abrasive powder, solvent, polish
cleaner or undiluted detergent.
If your installation is a free-standing application with no
worktop directly above the top of the wine cooler, you
must apply this feature to prevent the unit from tipping
forward when the wine racks are pulled out. The “anti-
tip” device is attached at the back of each cabinet.
Please see installation instructions supplied with the
“anti-tip” device.
Glass Door: Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and
water and soft cloth to clean the glass door model. Do
not use any abrasive powders.
Door Gasket: The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with
mild soap and water, a baking soda solution or a mild
scouring powder.

Light Tube Replacement: WARNING! DISCONNECT
THE POWER CORD BEFORE ATTEMPTING LIGHT
TUBE REPLACEMENT. Failure to do so may result in
an electrical shock that could severely injure you.
What To Do
If You Need Service
Before calling for service, check the trouble shooting
table. This table lists possible problems that you can
remedy without difficulty to avoid an unnecessary
service call.
This product uses two, 6 watt light tubes to illuminate
the interior of the wine cooler. The light tubes are very
reliable electrical components, but should either or
both light tubes not function properly, please call the
dealer you purchased your wine cooler from for
replacement light tubes. Use only original equipment
light tubes from your dealer or manufacturer.
If you do need service, contact your dealer or the manu-
facturer. In any correspondence, refer to the model
number and serial number of your unit which is located
on the lower front cabinet flange. Retain your proof of
purchase. You may want to record these numbers in the
space provided on page 6. Follow the procedure out-
lined on page 7.
Light tube replacement consists of using a small
cross head screwdriver to remove the two screws
that hold a cover plate over the back section of the
light tube. Set the screws and cover plate aside for
re-assembly later.
Possible
Causes/Solutions

Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, gently lever the
front section of the light tube down to allow it to be
pulled clear of the light housing.
•Interior needs cleaning
Odour in cabinet

•Cabinet not level
•Weak floor
Disconnect the two insulated electrical connectors
from the cabinet’s electrical cable and discard the old

tor of the new light tube to the cabinet’s electrical
cable connectors. Make sure they are secure and
fully inserted.

back into the rear of the light enclosure channel mak-
ing sure not to crimp them. Gently insert the light tube
along the length of the light enclosure channel. Press
the light tube gently into the light enclosure channel.
Only a small part of the light tube should project
below the ceiling of the wine cooler. DO NOT USE A
HAMMER TO FIT THE LIGHT TUBE.
•Prolonged door openings
•Control set too cold
•Condenser needs cleaning
Appliance runs too long
Moisture collects inside
•Too many door openings

What to do in
Rangemaster Customer Care
the Event of a Power Failure
Help With Problems
Most power failures are corrected within two hours
and will not affect the unit’s temperature providing you
minimize the number of door openings while the
power is off. A gradual rise in temperature should not
have any adverse effect on your wine if power is out
for a longer period. If it is extremely hot, you may
want to move your wines to the coolest location you
can find until power is restored.
