INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Wine Cellar:
•
•
Remove any exterior and interior packing material.
Check to be sure the following parts are included:
♦
For 48-Bottle Wine Cellar, 14 slide out shelves, 7 for each
side.
♦
1 instruction manual.
•
Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand
upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility
of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
•
•
•
Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support
the appliance when it is fully loaded.
To level your appliance, adjust the front legs at the bottom of the
appliance.
For freestanding installation only, away from direct sunlight and
sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may
affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption.
•
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
OPERATING YOUR WINE CELLAR
It is recommended that you install the wine cellar in a place where
the ambient temperature is between 77-80.6°F. If the ambient
temperature is above or below recommended temperature, the
performance of the unit may be affected. Placing in extreme cold or
hot conditions may cause interior temperature to fluctuate. The
range of 54-66°F may not be reached. Not intended for garage or
basement installs. The temperature may fluctuate depending on
whether or not the interior light is on or off or whether the bottles are
located on the upper/middle or lower section. Close the cooler door
immediately after putting in any items so the inside temperature will
not rise dramatically.

How to use the buttons on the Display Panel:
You can set the temperature by pushing the control buttons.
There are two buttons on the panel “
” and “
” to adjust the
temperature by 1°F increments from 54-66°F. You can turn the
interior light on or off by pressing the “light” button.
