First-Time Operating Instructions Before use, make sure all packaging labels and materials are removed from the unit. Be sure to keep track of all included parts and pieces before discarding the packaging materials. It is advised that you keep the original box and packaging materials in case you ever need to move or ship the appliance in the future. Let the unit stand for at least 24 hours before you use it; this allows the cooling components time to settle from transit.
Parts Identification ! Note: Gather the model and serial number from the product label and write them down before installing the wine refrigerator.
Carbon Filter: A built-in carbon filter protects your contents by acting as a natural barrier against harmful odors. Internal Fan: This is an air-cooled unit equipped with an internal fan that maintains a consistent internal temperature.
Installation The wine refrigerator should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements. The wine refrigerator should also be placed in a location that is strong enough to support its total weight, keeping in mind that it will weigh substantially more when fully loaded than when empty. Before you plug the wine refrigerator into a power supply, be sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s oils to settle.
Clearance Requirements Notes: • Choose a location that has ambient temperatures above 50° F and below 90° F. Operation outside these temperatures may result in lowered efficiency or cause other adverse effects. • This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, e.g. wind, rain, water spray or drips. • The wine refrigerator should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other heat sources. • Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the wine refrigerator and the wall or cabinet.
Electrical Requirements ! ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD! • Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. • Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. • Never use an adapter to bypass the grounding prong. • DO NOT use an extension cord. • Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electrical shock, or death.
Installing the Door Handle To install the door handle: 1. Open the door and carefully pull the door gasket around the area where the handle is to be installed. 2. Carefully remove the two pre-installed decorative plugs from the front of the door. 3. Insert each Phillips head screw through the gasket side of the door until the screw passes through the door. 4. Align the handle with the screws and tighten using a Phillips head screwdriver until the handle is flush against the door frame. 5.
Operation Installation Checklist before Operation 1. Have all packing materials and tape been removed from the interior and exterior of the wine refrigerator? 2. Have the installation instructions been followed, including connecting the machine to electricity? And has proper grounding been installed for the wine refrigerator? 3. Has the machine been leveled? 4. Is the wine refrigerator in a site where the ambient temperature is between 50° F and 90° F all year round? 5.
Note: The wine refrigerator is equipped with a temperature memory function. If power is suddenly lost, the previously set temperature will be saved and the Refrigerator will return to this setting once power is restored. Allow at least 24 hours before storing your wines to allow the setting temperature to be reached. ! Caution: If you turned the unit off, please wait at least 5 minutes before turning it back on. Normal Sounds Your new wine refrigerator may make noise during normal operation.
Defrosting Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will automatically defrost in most ambient conditions. However, on colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, the more humid the ambient conditions, the more frost may build up. Keep the door closed as much as possible and avoid opening the door unnecessarily to minimize frost build-up. If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need to power the unit off until the frost melts.
