Before connecting the Wine Cooler to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 24 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system caused by handling during transportation. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

INSTALLATION OF YOUR WINE COOLER

This device is not designed to be incorporated into fitted kitchen units The appliance should be positioned in a well-ventilated, dry room. Place your Wine Cooler on a position that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level your Wine Cooler, adjust the front leveling leg at the bottom of the Wine Cooler. This appliance must be fixed at the top and the bottom using the rail provided for the purpose in order to avoid any risk of tipping when the shelves are slid out Locate the Wine Cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly. Plug the Wine Cooler into an exclusive, easily accessible plug socket. Any questions concerning power and/or earthing should be directed towards a qualified electrician or an authorized products service centre. To prevent the appliance from heating up, ensure that an adequate ventilation gap is retained and install a suitable thermal insulation panel. An adequate flow of air to and from the cooling system must be ensured. The appliance must be installed to all electrical, plumbing, water and drain connections in accordance with state and local codes. Please note in first time use, there will be alarming right after plugging which is caused by wrong humidity and temperature. Without running power, the humidity and temperature may be out of the setting range(40-80%, 5-20 degree). You can press any key to stop the alarm. Room temperature The climate class is stated on the name plate. This specifies the optimum room temperature. Wine coolers with winter position, however, function at room temperatures as low as 5°C. Climate class Optimum room temperature

+18℃~+43℃34 HANDLE INSTALLATION Before installing the handle, you must remove the door seal on a game. This does not affect a seal if you take care to remove it properly. Peel off the seal from the corner of the door to the level needed and turn it into the slot to get to the corner. Front Back Screws Handle Handle Screws

When the unit is equipped with a charcoal filter, it is better to change it once a year to renew the effectiveness (filter odors, residues, ...). Why pull the filter from the inside and replace the new filter in the same way.35

You can lock / unlock the door by turning the key in the lock of 90 ° C.

ADJUSTABLE FEET Horizontal arrangement of wine cooler is very important, but for some reason, you put wine cooler on some uneven place, then you need to adjust the adjustable feet stood to ensure stability; of course, if the place is flat and wine cooler can stand stably, you don't need to adjust the adjustable feet. Adjustment method: rotate right, adjustable feet go up; rotate left, adjustable foot go down.36

FIXED SHELVES INSTALLATION

The notch wood must be at the rear. For wire shelves, the wood panel must be in the front.

PRESENTATION SHELVES (ACCESSORIES OPTION) Position the shelf presentation on the level above a fixed shelf. Being less deep, it will allow you to position your bottles on the fixed shelf and let it rest on the edge of the shelf presentation. SLIDDING SHELVES (ACCESSORIES OPTION) 1 Place the rack in the right direction. 2 Install the shelf with two rails in molded from the basement to the bottom supports. 3 Set the bar at the bottom between the shelf and molding the above, this will block the rails on the sides and thus to be able to slide the shelf37 LOADING BOTTLES The maximum amount of bottles able to be stored which is given, is only given as an indication, done in factory and is not contractual. This indication (as with the capacity in liters of a refrigerator) is to give a quick estimation of the size of the product. This indication corresponds to tests done with a standard bottle: the bottle type “Bordeaux tradition 75 cl” (the standardized classification contains for each bottle a geographic origin (Bordeaux, Bourgogne, Provence,…), and a type (traditional, heavy, light, flute,…) each with its own specific height and diameter. In fact, one could store more bottles by stacking a single type of bottle. But a “varied” cabinet is made up of a large variety of bottles and the “practical” side of the daily use of a cabinet limits the number of bottles stored. Most probably, a few less bottles will be stored than the indicated amount. For example, if the cellar is filled only with bottles of burgundy, there will be approximately 30% fewer bottles than the initial quantity calculated for Bordeaux Any added shelf will decrease the loading capacity.38

If the ambient temperature is above or below the recommended ambient temperature range, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate. Note: When you use the Wine Cooler for the first time or restart the Wine Cooler after having been shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and it is due to the length of the activation time. Once the Wine Cooler is running for a few hours everything will be back to normal. If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the Wine Cooler will not start. Ⅰ.
