2. Turn the leveling leg clockwise as far as it will go, until the top of the foot is touching the bottom of the chassis.
3. Slowly turn the leveling leg counter-clockwise until the unit is level.

The temperature of the wine cooler is controlled by adjusting the thermostat control knob on the back of the unit. To achieve maximum cooling temperature quickly:

• Turn the temperature control knob clockwise to the widest, darkest part of the graduated blue control dial.
• Allow the unit to run at this setting for 3 - 4 hours.
• When maximum cooling is achieved, turn the temperature control knob to the middle position on the graduated blue control dial, as per Fig. A.
