• Unit is not designed for installation in a garage, basement, or any
other location where a controlled ambient environment between 60°

amounts of heat, such as a dishwasher, microwave, oven, etc.
• Do not plug unit into the same outlet as a refrigerator or microwave.
• Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand

malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth
before first use.

TROUBLESHOOTING
You can solve many common beverage cooler problems easily, saving you
the cost of a possible service call. Try the suggestion below to see if you
can solve the problem before contacting Vinotemp at [email protected].
SYMPTOM
Door will not
close properly.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
• The beverage cooler is not level.
• The shelves are out of position.
• The door was reversed and not properly installed.
• The door gasket is dirty.
Unit does not
operate—does
not have power
• Check that unit is plugged into the wall socket.
• Make sure the wall socket has power. If outlet is
controlled by a wall switch, make sure switch is set to
on. Test wall socket functionality by testing another
electrical appliance in the power socket.
• Make sure there are at least 3 to 5 bottles in the unit.
When using the unit for the first time, it can take up
to 24 hours to reach the desired temperature.
• If the room temperature is above 90°F (32°C), the
unit will not get below 51°F (11°C). Humidity does
not affect the cooling ability of the unit.
• To achieve accurate temperature control, the unit
should not be used or operated in any of the
following locations:
Power is ON but
the unit will not
cool.
o In a sunny place
o In a room with poor air circulation such as a
garage near another heat-producing appliance
such as a dishwasher, oven or refrigerator.
o With an outlet shared with a refrigerator, as the
refrigerator will drain power from the beverage
cooler.
o In a cabinet or closet.
• Make sure the cooling vents are not obstructed.
• This is simply a function of the cooling system. The
lower the setting, the more the fan will run. If the
room is warmer than 90°F (32°C), it will run more.
• The unit has been designed to run continuously when
operating at the lower temperatures.
Fan is always
running.
Vibrations
• Check to make sure the beverage cooler is level.
