HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

GROUNDED PLUG

To reduce the risk of electric shock this appliance has a grounded plug (2 blades and 1 pin). If the plug does not fit fully into the electrical outlet contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT modify the plug in any way or use an adaptor.

INTRODUCTION

Your new wine cellar has no compressor and as such is environmentally friendly, needing no special disposal precautions other than those listed in the Safeguards section of this manual.

Cooling is done using ‘superconductor technology’. This uses the ambient air around the unit which is cooled when drawn in. The warm air is exhausted through the vents. ‘Superconductor’ wine cellars create less noise and vibration than compressor units. The minimized vibration will prevent bubbles from forming in stored wine, which helps to maintain its quality. These units offer a high level of reliability, lower maintenance, more accurate temperature control and an environmentally friendly operation as no CFC or HCFC type refrigerants are used in the cooling process.

BOTTLE STORAGE

Many bottles differ in size and dimensions. As such the actual number of bottles you may be able to store may vary. This unit will store 16 standard bottles.

INSTALLATION

1. The unit is designed to be free standing only, it should not be recessed or built-in. CAUTION: Use two or more people to move and install the appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other injuries.
2. Remove all exterior and interior packaging material.
3. To ensure that your wine cooler works at the maximum efficiency, follow the recommended clearances below for proper ventilation:

- sides 5" (12.7 cm)

- back 5" (12.7 cm)

1. Place the Wine Cellar on a flat level surface that is strong enough to support it when fully loaded.

NOTE:

DO NOT place the appliance in direct sunlight, this could affect the acrylic coating. DO NOT place the appliance near sources of heat such as a stove, heater, radiator, dishwasher, microwave oven, toaster, etc.

DO NOT place the appliance in a moist humid area.

1. This Wine Cellar uses superconductor refrigeration technology and is not designed for storage in hot area like garages, warehouses or outdoors since it is designed to operate at a maximum of 17^ C/30°F below the ambient temperature.

2. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance not to perform properly.

3. To help with door closure, position leveling legs with a 1/8" (3 mm) tilt to the back. Adjust the leveling legs by turning clockwise to raise and counterclockwise to lower.
4. Gently slide the racks into the unit.
5. Plug the Wine Cooler into the outlet, set the temperature (see the How to Use section) and allow the appliance to cool down for 2 – 3 hours before placing items in the cavity.

HOW TO USE

Guidelines for cooling wines are as follows:

Red Wines 14 – 18°C 57 - 65°F
Dry White Wines 9 - 14°C 49 - 58°F
Rose Wines 10 - 11°C 51 - 53°F
Sparkling Wines 5 - 9°C* 40 – 49°F*

NOTE: The temperature range for this wine cooler is 8 - 18°C (46.4 – 64.4°F), which is at the top of the recommended range for sparkling wines.

1. The Wine Cellar has an electronic Temperature Control and can be set from 8° - 18°C (46.4° - 64.4°F). The temperature display can be switched from Fahrenheit to Celsius by touching the F/C Button.
2. Touch the Power Button ☐ for 3 seconds to start your wine cooler.
3. IMPORTANT: To use the Raise or Lower Temperature Buttons the control panel must be unlocked. Touch the Raise and Lower ▼ temperature buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to unlock the control panel.
4. Touch the Set Button to set the temperature. NOTE: The Control Panel will lock automatically 12 minutes after the last time a button has been pressed.

5. To increase the temperature, touch the Raise Temperature Button. △ To lower the temperature, touch the Lower Temperature Button▽. The display will increase or decrease in 1° increments when touching the Raise Temperature or Lower Temperature Buttons.

6. The actual internal temperature in a 'Superconductor' appliance is affected by the ambient room temperature. The Wine Cooler should be placed where the ambient temperature is between 20 - 26°C (67 - 78°F). If the ambient temperature is above or below the recommended temperatures, the internal temperatures may fluctuate and the range of 8 - 18°C (46.4 - 64.4°F) may not be reached.

7. The Light Switch inside the unit can be activated by touching the Interior Light Button on the control panel. Under normal operation it is best for the light to remain off.
8. When storing mostly red wines set the temperature according to the Guidelines on page 5. The Red Wine Indicator will light up in red beside the Display Window.
9. When storing White, Rose or Sparkling wines set the temperature according to the Guidelines on page 5 and the White Wine Indicator will light up in blue.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• After a power failure, the control functions will be locked for approximately 5 minutes. To reset, after 5 minutes, touch the Power Button and start operation as normal. If you do not reset the temperature the unit will automatically turn on and revert to the factory default setting of 12.2^ (54°F).
• 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 the contents.
• One characteristic of superconductor appliances 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 this type of appliance.
• If the light has been turned on, it will automatically turn off after 10 minutes. To turn it back on, touch the Light Button 📋 on the control panel.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. ALWAYS unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. CAUTION: Failure to unplug the Wine Cellar could result in electric shock or personal injury.
2. Empty the cavity.
3. Wash the Wine Racks in mild soap and water. Rinse and dry.
4. Wash the inside cavity with a warm water and baking soda solution. Mix approximately 2 tbsp. (30 ml) of baking soda with 1 quart (litre) of water.
