WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

Remove door from your old wine cellar.

Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned wine cellars are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old wine cellar, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

■ Take off the door.
■ Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Before you move your wine cellar into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

A 115 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your wine cellar be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, unplug wine cellar or disconnect power.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Wine Cellar

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install wine cellar.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Remove the Packaging

■ Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the wine cellar. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
- Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your wine cellar. For more information, see “Wine Cellar Safety.”
■ Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

When Moving Your Wine Cellar:

Your wine cellar is heavy. When moving the wine cellar for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the wine cellar straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the wine cellar when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your wine cellar before using it. See the cleaning instructions in "Wine Cellar Care."

Door Closing

Door Closing

Your wine cellar has four leveling legs. If your wine cellar seems unsteady or you want the door to close more easily, adjust the wine cellar's tilt using the instructions below.

WARNING

KITCHENAID KUWL304ESS - WARNING - 1

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

  1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install wine cellar.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

  1. Move the wine cellar into its final location.
  2. Turn the leveling legs to the right to lower the wine cellar, or turn the leveling legs to the left to raise it. It may take several turns of the leveling legs to adjust the tilt of the wine cellar.

  1. Open the door and check that it closes as easily as you like. If not, tilt the wine cellar slightly more to the rear by turning both front leveling screws to the right. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same amount.

WINE CELLAR USE

Normal Sounds

Your new wine cellar may make sounds that your old one didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, such as the flooring and surrounding structures, can make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

■ Your wine cellar is designed to run more efficiently to keep your wine at the desired temperatures and to minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may cause your wine cellar to run longer than your old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
■ Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items stored inside the wine cellar.
■ As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your wine cellar.
■ You may hear water running into the drain pan when the wine cellar is defrosting.
■ You may hear clicking sounds when the wine cellar starts or stops running.

Using the Controls

The control panel for the wine cellar is located on the middle separator (mullion) of the wine cellar. The control of the wine cellar has no mechanical parts or buttons. When disconnected, the control panel displays nothing and may be difficult to locate.

The control is set correctly when the wine is as cold as you like it.

NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments for the product to acclimate. Recheck the temperatures before making further adjustments.

Using Presets

For your convenience, your wine cellar also has controls that are preset to recommended storage temperature for specific wines.

Cleaning

WARNING

KITCHENAID KUWL304ESS - WARNING - 1

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Clean the wine cellar about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

To Clean Your Wine Cellar:

  1. Unplug wine cellar or disconnect power.
  2. Remove all racks from inside the wine cellar.
  3. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

■ To avoid damaging wooden tines and trim pieces, wipe them off with a clean sponge or soft cloth and warm water. Do not use detergent or immerse the entire rack into water when cleaning.

■ Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or damage materials.
■ To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g to 0.95 L] of water).

  1. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing chlorine. These can scratch or damage materials. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

NOTE: To keep your stainless steel wine cellar looking like new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use the manufacturer's approved Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish. To order the cleaner, see "Accessories."

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!

Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

  1. Replace the racks.
  2. Clean the condenser coils regularly. They are located behind the base grille. Coils may need to be cleaned as often as every other month. This may help save energy.

■ Remove the base grille. See "Base Grille."
■ Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to clean the condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
■ Replace the base grille.

  1. Plug in wine cellar or reconnect power.

Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations

If you choose to turn the wine cellar off before you leave, follow these steps.

  1. Remove all wine bottles from the wine cellar.
  2. Unplug the wine cellar.
  3. Clean the wine cellar. See "Cleaning."
  4. Tape a rubber or wood block to the top of the door to prop it open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building up.

Moving

When you are moving your wine cellar to a new home, follow these steps to prepare it for the move.

  1. Remove all wine bottles from the wine cellar.
  2. Unplug the wine cellar.
  3. Clean, wipe, and dry it thoroughly.
  4. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.
  5. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the wine cellar.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to the "Installation Instructions" section for preparation instructions.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

Your wine cellar will not operate

WARNING
KITCHENAID KUWL304ESS - Your wine cellar will not operate - 1

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

■ Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
■ Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.
■ Is the Wine Cellar Control in Cool Off Mode? See “Using the Controls.”

The motor seems to run too much

Is the temperature outside hotter than normal? Expect the motor to run longer under warm conditions. At normal temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more of the time.
Is the door opened often? Expect the motor to run longer when this occurs. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the wine cellar at once. Keep wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy to find, and close the door as soon as the wine is removed.

■ Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See "Using the Controls."

Is the door closed completely? Push the door firmly shut. If it will not shut all the way, see “The door will not close completely” later in this section.

■ Are the condenser coils dirty? This obstructs air transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. See “Cleaning.”

Temperature is too warm

Is the door opened often? Be aware that the wine cellar will warm when this occurs. In order to keep the wine cellar cool, try to get everything you need out of the wine cellar at once. Keep wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy to find, and close the door as soon as the wine is removed.

■ Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See "Using the Control."

Is the base grille blocked? For best performance, do not install the wine cellar behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.

There is interior moisture buildup

Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity buildup, try to get everything you need out of the wine cellar at once, keep wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy to find, and close the door as soon as the wine is removed. When the door is opened, humidity from the room air enters the wine cellar. The more often the door is opened, the faster humidity builds up, especially when the room itself is very humid.
■ Is it humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside the wine cellar when the air is humid.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See "Using the Controls."

The door is difficult to open

WARNING
KITCHENAID KUWL304ESS - The door is difficult to open - 1

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Is the gasket dirty or sticky? Clean the gasket and the surface that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gasket following cleaning.

The door will not close completely

- Are the racks out of position? Put the racks back into their correct positions. See “Wine Cellar Use” for more information.
