Child Safety  
Electrical Information  
The wine cooler must be plugged into its  
own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp,  
AC only electrical outlet. The power cord of  
the appliance is equipped with a three-prong  
grounding plug for your protection against  
electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged  
directly into a properly grounded three prong  
receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in  
accordance with local codes and ordinances.  
Consult a qualified electrician. Avoid connecting  
refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI)  
circuit. Do not use an extension cord or  
adapter plug.  
Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior  
wrapping material immediately after the wine  
cooler is unpacked. Children should never use  
these items to play. Cartons covered with rugs,  
bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may  
become airtight chambers, and can quickly cause  
suffocation.  
Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can  
cause severe cuts, and destroy finishes if they  
come in contact with other appliances or furniture.  
An empty, discarded wine cooler is a very  
dangerous attraction to children.  
If the power cord is damaged, it should be  
replaced by an authorized service technician to  
prevent any risk.  
Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in  
use, even if it is being discarded.  
Never unplug the wine cooler by pulling on the  
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and  
pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent  
damaging the power cord.  
WARnInG  
Proper Disposal of your Wine Cooler  
Unplug the wine cooler before cleaning and before  
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.  
Risk of child entrapment  
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of  
the past. Junked or abandoned wine coolers are still  
dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.  
If you are getting rid of your old wine cooler, please  
follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.  
Performance may be affected if the voltage varies  
by 10% or more. Operating the wine cooler with  
insufficient power can damage the compressor.  
Such damage is not covered under your warranty.  
Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet  
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent  
the wine cooler from being turned off accidentally.  
We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/  
disposal methods. Check with your utility company or  
on recycling your old wine cooler.  
Before you throw away your old wine cooler:  
Remove doors.  
Leave shelves in place so children may not easily  
climb inside.  
Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service  
technician.

InStALLAtIOn  
This Use & Care Guide provides general operating  
instructions for your model. Use the appliance only as  
instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the  
wine cooler, follow these important first steps.  
Cleaning  
Wash any removable parts of the wine cooler interior,  
and exterior with mild detergent and warm water.  
Wipe dry. Do not use harsh cleaners on these  
surfaces.  
Location  
Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments,  
which can scratch the appliance surface when  
removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape  
can be removed with a mixture of warm water and  
mild detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky  
side of tape already removed. Do not remove the  
serial plate.  
Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical  
outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter  
plug.  
For optimal performance, it is recommended that  
you install the wine cooler where the ambient  
temperature is between 70 and 78 degrees  
fahrenheit.  
Important Safeguards: Do not store food in your wine  
cooler as interior temperature may not get cool enough  
to prevent spoilage. In summer months or areas of high  
humidity, the glass door may build up moisture. To  
remove the moisture, wipe it away.  
Allow space around the unit for good air circulation.  
Leave a 2 inch space on the back and sides of the  
wine cooler for adequate circulation.  
Be sure the wine cooler stays in the upright position  
during transport.  
Handle Installation  
Keep the wine cooler from any hazardous or  
combustible agents.  
1. Set handle over the two mounting studs at top of  
door.  
nOtE  
2. Use hex head screw driver or allen wrench to tighten  
set screws from bottom to secure handle to door.  
The exterior walls of the wine cooler may become quite  
warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from  
the inside. Temperatures as much as 30° F warmer  
than room temperature can be expected. For this  
reason it is particularly important in hotter climates to  
allow enough space for air circulation around your wine  
cooler.  
Mounting stud  
Locate handle  
Leveling  
The wine cooler must have all bottom corners resting  
firmly on solid floor. The floor must be strong enough  
to support a fully loaded wine cooler. NOTE: It is Very  
Important for your wine cooler to be level in order to  
function properly. If the wine cooler is not leveled during  
installation, the door may be misaligned and not close  
or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture  
problems.  
Set screw  
Screw driver  
To Level Your Wine Cooler:  
After removing all interior and exterior packaging  
materials, use a carpenter’s level to level the wine cooler  
from front-to-back. Adjust the leveling legs in front, ½  
bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left  
halfway open.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS  
Install the wine cooler in the  
coolest part of a dry and ventilated  
room, out of direct sunlight and  
away from heating ducts or  
registers. Do not place the wine  
cooler next to heat-producing  
appliances such as a range, oven  
or dishwasher.  
Stop  
bracket  
Bushing  
Fig. 6  
Level the wine cooler so the door close tightly.  
Do not over crowd the wine cooler or block cold air  
vents. Doing so causes the wine cooler to run longer  
and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined  
with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling.  
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the  
wine cooler less efficient.  
Fig. 7  
Wipe containers dry before placing them in the wine  
cooler. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside  
the unit.  
Organize the wine cooler to reduce door openings.  
Remove as many items as needed at one time and  
close the door as soon as possible.
