IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

This wine cooler must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used.
Never unplug you wine cooler by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight
out from the outlet.
1) Do not clean your beverage center with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion.
2) Do not tip over.
3) If the wine cooler is brought in from outside in the winter season, give it a few hours to warm up to room
temperature before plugging it in.
4) Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the connector end.
5) Unplug your Wine Cooler before cleaning or before making any repairs. NOTE: If for any reason this

OPERATING PROCEDURES & MAINTENANCE
Unpacking your Wine Cooler
1) Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
2) Make sure that all the parts listed below are included with your wine cooler.

5 removable wine racks
1 flat type half shelf
1 (staggered) lower shelf
3) It is advisable to clean the inside of the Wine Cooler with lukewarm water using a mild detergent and a
soft cloth, and then to dry it thoroughly prior to use.
4) Find a location for your unit that is protected from direct sunlight and other sources of heat. Place the
unit on a level surface. Make sure that there is at least 5 inches of space between the back of your unit
and the wall. Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause
condensation to form, requiring more frequent defrosting of the unit.
5) Allow one hour for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging it in.
6) The refrigeration system of the cabinet is designed to operate with the cabinet located on a flat surface.
Avoid tilting the cabinet side.
Connecting Your Wine Cooler
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock.
This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong
plug which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Plug your appliance into an exclusive, properly installed, grounded wall 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 certified
electrician.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong
ground.

OPERATING PROCEDURES & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your Wine Cooler
1) Turn the temperature control to “0”, unplug the unit, and remove the bottles and shelves.
2) Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth containing water and baking soda solution.
The solution should be about two tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart (32 oz) of water.
3) Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
4) Make sure the door gasket (seal) is kept clean in order to keep the unit running
efficiently.
5) The outside of the beverage center should be cleaned regularly with a mild detergent
solution and warm water.
6) Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
Moving Your Wine Cooler
1) Remove all contents and make sure to tape down any loose items.
2) To avoid damaging the leveling screws, turn them all the way into the base.
3) Tape the door shut.
4) Make sure your unit stays in the upright position during transportation.
Defrosting Your Wine Cooler
Your wine cooler is designed with an “Auto-Cycle” defrost system. The refrigerated surfaces
of the unit will defrost automatically, during the “off” cycle of the cold control. Water from the
unit is disposed of automatically, by means of being channeled onto a drip tray located on
the compressor. Heat transfer from the compressor causes this water to evaporate.
Please Note: Do not use boiling water to defrost because it may damage the
plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost
as it may damage the cooling coils.
