?

Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

? Setting the Temperature Control

?

Your Wine Chiller has only one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is located on the u pper right hand corner of the compartment.

?

To control the internal temperature, adjust the control knob according to the ambient temperature or purpose of use.

?

The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “MAX” position.

?

The settings of temperature control are from “MIN ” t o “MAX”. After 2 hours, adjust the temperature control setting to “MED”. The setting of “MED” should be appropriate for home or office Wine Chiller use.

NOTE:

?

The range between “MAX” and “MIN” is from 51

?

F to 62

?

F, which is ideal for the storage of most wines. The medium (MED) position on this unit is set at 55ºF.

?

Turning the temperature control to "OFF" position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the appliance.

You must install your electr onic Wine Chiller in a place where the ambient temperature is between 72-

78 degrees Fahrenheit. If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate. The range of 51 -62 degrees Fahrenheit may not be reached.

You can place four bottles on each shelf plus four on the bottom compartment.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

? Cleaning Your Wine Chiller

?

?

Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.

?

Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any electrical parts.

?

Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

CAUTION

Failure to unplug the Wine Chiller could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

9

? Power Failure

?

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your contents.

? Vacation Time

?

Short vacations: Leave the Wine Chiller operating during vacations of less than three weeks.

?

Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.

? Moving Your Wine Chiller

?

Remove all bottles.

?

Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.

?

Tape the door shut.

?

Protect outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.

? Energy Saving Tips

?

The Wine Chiller should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.

?

One characteristic of thermoelectric units is the length of time it requires to recover from having the door opened and shut frequently. It may be necessary to wait longer for the temperature to return to its former level once the door has been opened for too long. This is normal for the type of unit.

?

Thermoelectric technology costs just pennies to operate. It is environmentally friendly due to the lack of CFC’s.

INSTRUCCIONES PARA

LA CONEXION A TIERRA

Este aparato electrodoméstico debe estar conectado a tierra. En caso de un cortocircuito eléctrico, la conexión a tierra reduce el riesgo de choque eléctrico proporcionando un cable a tierra con una enchufe de conexión a tierra. Este enchufe d ebe estar conectado en un tomacorriente instalado correctamente y conectado a tierra.

ADVERTENCIA – El uso inadecuado del enchufe de conexión a tierra puede resultar en un riesgo de choque eléctrico. Consulte con un electricista o persona de reparaciones competente si no comprenden bien las instrucciones de conexión a tierra o si existe alguna duda sobre si el aparato esta conectado a tierra correctamente.

4. Evite la luz directa del sol o calor. La luz directa del sol puede afectar la capa de ac rílico.

Las fuentes de calor en su proximidad provocarán un consumo mayor de electricidad.

5. Para un mejor desempeño, nivele la vinera utilizando las patas ajustables o tornillos niveladores. Para verificar el nivel, abra la puerta hasta la mitad, debe regresar sola.

OPERACION

Para evitar vibraciones, el compartimiento interior debe estar bien nivelado. Para encender la vinera, gire el control de temperatura a la posición que corresponda a la temperatura deseada.
