FEATURES

Temperature Control

The temperature control is fully adjustable from the low forties to the mid sixties, allowing flexibility for temperature preferences.

Interior Light and Switch

The interior light makes it easy to view your wine labels and enhances the display of your collection. When the switch is in the OFF position, the light comes on only when the door is opened.

Pull-Out Racks

The bottom five racks pull out so bottles can be more easily added or removed.

Before using, be sure all packing materials and tape have been removed. There is a shipping bracket below the handle. Remove the bracket and replace the three screws with the white plug buttons.

If you are discarding an old refrigerator, remove the doors to reduce the danger of children being trapped inside.

Set the Control

The temperature range of the wine cooler is from the low forties to the mid sixties. The middle range is approximately 55^ F.

As with any refrigeration product, there is a slight temperature variance at different locations within the cabinet.

The coolest bottles will be in the rear of the four middle shelves.

The bottles on the top two shelves will be 3^ F. to 7^ F. warmer. This is the warmest location.

The bottles in the front of the middle four shelves will be 1^ F. to 4^ F. warmer than those at the rear of the shelves.

Position your wine inventory accordingly (i.e. white wines in the cooler zones and red in the warmer zones).

To set the control, turn it to the middle thermostat setting. Once the bottles are loaded, allow at least 48 hours before making any adjustments to the initial setting.

Colorer OFF

Insert Wine Bottles

The top two racks each hold six bottles, two deep with the necks alternating front to back.

The middle four racks each hold eight bottles, two deep with necks alternating front to back.

The bottom rack holds six bottles and is loaded with necks facing the rear. Tall bottles should not be loaded on the bottom rack because they may prevent the door from closing.

LOADING TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

• The bottom rack may be removed for storing "jug" wines.
• You may store magnums and other large bottles on the upper right and left positions or on any of the middle racks by removing the rack directly above them.

• The bottles on the top rack, directly under the light, will be exposed to a slightly higher temperature when the light is on. Position your wines accordingly and remember to turn off the light when it is no longer needed.

• Keep wines that you plan to use for everyday drinking and entertaining on the front half of the racks where labels are completely visible. Place wines for aging or longer term storage in the rear.

• Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the wine cooler shelves. They could seriously injure themselves and possibly cause damage to the wine cooler.

CARE AND CLEANING

Unplug the wine cooler before cleaning.

Condenser Cabinet

Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air flow openings in the front of the cabinet.

For best performance, brush or vacuum lint and dirt from the condenser once a year. Unscrew the grille on the bottom front of the cabinet to access the condenser.

The painted cabinet can be washed with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clear water. Never use abrasive scouring powders.

Interior Glass Door

Wash the inside with mild soap and water or baking soda and water.

Do not use an abrasive powder, solvent, polish cleaner or undiluted detergent.

Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water and a soft cloth to clean the glass door. Do not use any abrasive powders.

Door Gasket Light Bulb Replacement

The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and water, a baking soda solution or a mild scouring powder. Rinse well.

Unplug the wine cooler before replacing the light bulb.

The light shield is held in place by three screws. Remove the screws and light shield to remove the light bulb. Replace with the same type bulb—a 15-watt, intermediate base bulb.

In the Event of a Power Failure

If the power fails, open the door as infrequently as possible to maintain the temperature. A gradual rise in temperature should not have any adverse effect on the wine.

If it is extremely hot, you may want to move the wine to the coolest location you can find until power is restored.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

BUILT-IN DIMENSIONS

The wine cooler can be a free-standing model or can be built in using the cut-out dimensions at right.

When building in the wine cooler, be sure to allow for a full door swing so you have full access to the pull-out racks.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT...PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Before it is used, the wine cooler must be properly installed and located as described in this manual.

How to Connect Electricity

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

To reduce the possibility of electric shock, the power cord is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet.

Insure proper ground exists before using.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. If you have only a standard two-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

Use of Adapter Plug

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against use of an adapter plug. However, if you must use an adapter, where local codes permit, a

TEMPORARY

CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at most local hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

Temporary Method (Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada.) Align large prongs/slots. Insure proper grounding and firm connection exist before use.

Use of an adapter plug will increase the clearance needed for the back of the wine cooler.

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one hand while pulling the power cord plug with the other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

Should the adapter ground terminal break, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

Use of Extension Cords Electrical Requirements/Power Cords

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

• The wine cooler should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
• Never unplug the wine cooler by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
• Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
• When moving the wine cooler, be careful not to damage the power cord.

REVERSING THE DOOR SWING

TO REVERSE THE DOOR

1. Remove the top hinge pin using a 1/8" Allen wrench.
2. Lift the door off the bottom hinge.
3. Replace the hinge pin in the top hinge.
4. Switch the top and bottom hinges and move them to the other side. See illustration.
5. Insert the white plug buttons into the old hinge holes.
6. Unscrew the light trigger from the door bottom and insert the gray plug buttons into the holes on the door.
7. Before turning the door upside down, new holes will need to be drilled for the light trigger. Be careful not to drill down more than 1/2" or you may damage the door glass. Measure 12 ^1/4 " from the right side and make a mark. Measure 3/4" over from the first mark and make a second mark. Measure 11/16" in from the front edge of the door and make a mark. See illustration. This is where the new holes will be drilled using a 5/32" drill bit. Install the light trigger.
8. Remove the top hinge pin.
9. Turn the door upside down and place the door on the bottom hinge pin.
10. Screw the top hinge pin into the door.
11. Remove the old nameplate and stick the new Monogram nameplate on the door using the template included.
