Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, let it stand upright for
approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of malfunction in the cooling
system that may have occurred from handling during transportation.
Clean the wine cooler’s interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth
before using the wine cooler for the first time.
The temperature display reflects the temperature of the area near the center racks in the
wine refrigerator. Keep in mind that the temperature may fluctuate approximate +/-7
degrees on the top or bottom racks.
Installing Your Wine Refrigerator:
z
Place the appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully
loaded. To level the wine refrigerator, adjust the front feet located on the bottom of
the appliance.
The temperature may fluctuate depending on whether or not the interior light is on or off
and whether the bottles are located on the upper, middle, or lower racks.
z
Keep the wine cooler away from direct sunlight and excess heat sources such as
stoves, heaters, radiators, etc. Direct sunlight may affect the unit’s acrylic coating
and heat sources may increase electricity consumption. Extreme cold or hot
ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance to perform improperly.
This unit can be recessed. Please allow a 1” inch clearance all around the unit.

Use the push buttons to set your desired temperature. Use the “▲” and “▼” to adjust the
temperature by 1° F between 54-66° F. You can turn the interior light on or off by pressing
the “light” button.
