To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the Wine Cooler, follow basic precautions, including the following: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord. It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your Wine Cooler be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain. Never clean Wine Cooler parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected. Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet. Unplug the Wine Cooler or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your Wine Cooler unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. FOLLOW WARNING CALL OUTS BELOW ONLY WHEN APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL Use two or more people to move and install Wine Cooler. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. To ensure proper ventilation for your Wine Cooler, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below 90°F (32°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.

Ø Installation of Your Wine Cooler • This Wine Cooler is designed to be free standing installation only, and should not be recessed or built-in (Fully recessed). • Place your Wine Cooler on a surface that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. • Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the Wine Cooler, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the heat sink. • Locate the Wine Cooler 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. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly. • This Wine Cooler uses compressor refrigeration technology and is not designed for storage in hot areas like garages, warehouses or outdoors since it is designed to operate at a maximum of 30 degrees below the ambient temperature. • Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. • Plug the Wine Cooler 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 or an authorized service center. • After plugging the Wine Cooler into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before placing any items in the compartment. • 6 Ø Electrical Connection ~Warning~ Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center. This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. This appliance requires a standard 120 Volt AC / 60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury. The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord. Ø Extension Cord Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 120 volts and at least 10 amperes. 7 OPERATING YOUR WINE COOLER Ø Setting the Temperature Control • To control the internal temperature, adjust the control dial according to the ambient temperature or purpose of use. • The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “5” (coldest setting). • The temperature range to control is 4℃~10℃, and the relative setting position is from “5” to “0”. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suites your needs. The setting of “3” should be correct for home or office Wine Cooler use. § NOTE: If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the Wine Cooler will not start. Ø Storage Capacity NOTE: You can place 15 standard bottles in this Wine Cooler. Many bottles may differ in size and dimensions. As such the actual number of bottles you may be able to store may vary. Bottle capacities are approximate maximums when storing traditional Bordeaux 750ml bottles and include bulk storage. 8 CARE AND MAINTENANCE Ø Defrosting Your Wine Cooler Defrost the Wine Cooler when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 5mm (1/5 inch) thick. Set the thermostat dial to “0” position. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. After defrosting, return the thermostat dial to the desired position. To defrost quickly remove Wines from the Wine Cooler and leave the door open. Never use a knife or other metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator. Ø Cleaning Your Wine Cooler • Turn the temperature control to "0", unplug the Wine Cooler, and remove the wine and shelves. • Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water. • Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution. • The outside of the Wine Cooler should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water. • Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the 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. Ø Reversing the Door Swing of Your Wine Cooler This appliance has the capability of the door opening from either the left or right side. The unit is delivered to you with the door opening from the left side. Should you desire to reverse the opening direction, please follow the instruction as below. 1.
