The wine cellar is not on a level surface.  
The racks are out of position.  
The bottle is too long.  
The door will not  
close properly.  
Fan is always  
running.  
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  
operation at the lower temperatures.  
Unit has no  
power.  
Check the wall outlet for power. Make sure the outlet is not  
controlled by a wall switch.  
Make sure the cooling vents are not obstructed.  
The room may be too hot. If the ambient temperature is  
90°F(32°C) or higher, the unit can have difficulty chilling  
adequately on the white wine setting.  
The inside  
temperature  
does not seem  
correct.  
When using the unit for the first time, it can take up to 24  
hours to reach the desired temperature.  
It may not be plugged into the wall socket.  
Make sure the wall socket it functional by testing another  
electrical appliance in the power socket.  
The unit does  
not operate.  
Make sure there are at least 3 to 5 bottles in the unit. Allow  
at least 24 hours for the internal temperature to adjust.  
If the room temperature is above 90°F(32°C), the unit can  
have difficulty cooling. Humidity does not affect the cooling  
ability of the unit.  
To achieve accurate temperature control, the unit should  
not be used of operated in any of the following locations:  
o In a sunny place  
Power is ON but  
the unit will not  
cool.  
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 wine cellar.  
o In a cabinet or closet.  
Make sure the cooling vents are not obstructed.  
If the lower compartment does not cool, check if the fan on  
the middle board is not running.
