Energy consumption of 129kWh per year, calculated on the basis of the result obtained over 24 hours under standardized test conditions. The actual power consumption depends on the operating conditions and location of the unit.

OPERATION

1. Place the wine cooler on a flat, horizontal and stable surface, away from hot surfaces and moisture.
2. Plug the wine cooler into a power outlet and select the desired temperature (see "Temperature setting").
3. Leave the wine cooler empty and running for about an hour to reach the selected temperature.
4. When the wine cooler has reached the selected temperature, open the door and place the wine bottles at room temperature on the shelves. The bottles will reach the selected temperature in about one hour.

The wine cooler automatically sets an on/off cycle to constantly maintain the selected temperature. Press the light button to turn on the interior light to see the contents of the wine cooler. To turn off the light, press the same button again. Important: Close the door tightly and do not open it too often or for a long period of time, as the wine would not reach the selected temperature

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

Select the interior temperature of the wine cooler by pressing the increase/decrease temperature buttons (4). Press the "▲" button to increase the temperature and press the "▼" button to decrease it. The selected temperature is displayed on the temperature display (3).

NOTE: The wine cooler will work properly when the ambient temperature is 32^ C or less. If the temperature is very high, it will not be able to cool at very low temperatures. The position of the bottles in the compartment, at the top, in the middle or at the bottom, can affect their internal temperature.

Tips and recommendations:

• The recommended temperature for red wine is 14-16°C
• The recommended temperature for white wine is 11-12°C.

Press the button

to switch between Fahrenheit or Celsius.

Press the button to turn the interior light on or off.

When you use the wine cooler for the first time or restart it after it has been switched off for a long time, there could be a variation of a few degrees between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the display. This is normal and is due to the activation time duration. Once the appliance has been running for a few hours, everything will return to normal.

If you are concerned that the temperature display is not correct and want to check the temperature, you will need a special refrigerator/freezer thermometer. You may also need a hygrometer to check the humidity of the appliance. You can find them in most supermarkets and hardware stores. Place the thermometer and hygrometer on the central shelf of the wine cooler, where it can be easily read. Leave it overnight, compare the temperature of the thermometer and on the wine cooler display. The relative humidity of the cooler should be between 50%-80% RH depending on the type of wine.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning your wine cooler

• Disconnect the wine cooler and remove the bottles.
• Clean the inside with a cloth and warm water. Once finished, dry it well.
