SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 thermoelectric circuits. This uses the ambient air around the unit which is cooled when drawn in. The warm air is exhausted through the vents. Thermoelectric 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's or HCFC type refrigerants are used in the cooling process.

BOTTLE STORAGE

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

INSTALLATION

1. The unit is designed to be free standing only, it should not be recessed or built-in.

2. Ensure that your wine cooler works at the maximum efficiency, follow the recommended clearances below:

3. sides 2" (50 mm)

4. top 2" (50 mm)

5. back 2" (50 mm)

6. Place the Wine Cellar on a flat level surface that is strong enough to support it when fully loaded. Do no place the unit in direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).

7. DO NOT place next to any appliance that emits large amount of heat, such as a dishwasher, microwave, oven, toaster, etc. or in direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.
8. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance not to perform properly.
9. 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.
10. Install the legs by screwing in the legs into the preset screw holes. (Please note that the leg which stands on the hinge is the shorter leg.)
11. Gently slide the racks into the unit.

HOW TO USE

1. The Wine Cellar has an electronic Temperature Control and can be set from 4^ C to 22^ C. The default setting is 10^ C.
2. Plug the unit into the wall outlet. The LED will display the internal cavity temperature.
3. To increase the temperature, press the (Temp+) Temperature Button. To lower the temperature, press the (Temp-) Temperature Button. The display will increase or decrease in 1° increments when pressing the 'Temp-' or 'Temp+' buttons.
4. The actual internal temperature in a thermoelectric unit is dependant on the ambient room temperature. If the ambient temperature is below the set temperature of the unit, it will not operate until the ambient temperature increases to that above the set temperature.
5. For this model when the ambient temperature is 25^ C, the lowest temperature that can be reached is 10^ C. When ambient temperature is 18^ C, the cabinet temperature can reach approximately 4^ C.
6. Your wine cellar also has a light. The Light Switch on the control panel will activate the light manually. Under normal operation it is best for the light to remain off.

INSTALLING THE WATER TRAY

The purpose of the water tray is to receive the condensed water drained from the Wine Cooler cavity. The collected water will evaporate so there is no need to remove the water manually.

To install the Water Tray, simply slide the water tray along the track which is located beneath the Wine Cooler Cavity. The Water Tray should slide in and out from the back of the Wine Cooler.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. Always unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning.
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.
5. The outside of the Wine Cellar can be wiped with a damp cloth. Dry.
   NOTE: Use caution when wiping over the Control Panel area so that water does not enter the controls.
6. DO NOT use any abrasive cleaning products on the inside or outside of the Wine Cellar.

CAUTION: Failure to unplug the appliance could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

POWER INTERRUPTIONS

Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the power cord from AC outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been restored, replug power cord to AC outlet.

Vacations

• Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for over 3 weeks, remove all items and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.

Moving your Wine Cellar

1. Remove all contents and store properly.
2. If anything is left inside the unit, securely tape down all loose items.
3. Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the doors shut.
5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.
