IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Do not store food in wine cooler, as interior temperature may not get cool enough to prevent spoilage. As a natural result of condensation, in summer months or area of high humidity, the glass door may built up moisture on the outside. Just wipe it away.

It is recommended you install the wine cooler in a place where the ambient temperature is between 22-25 degree Celsius. If the ambient temperature in above or below the recommended temperature, conditions may cause the interior temperature to fluctuate.

If the interior light is left on, the temperature inside the wine cooler will be higher.

Recommended Temperatures for chilling Wine

Red wines: 15.5-18.5 C

Dry/White Wines 10-15 C

Sparkling Wines 7.2-9.5 C

Rose Wines 9.5-10.5 C

The above temperatures may fluctuate depending on whether or not the interior bulb is on or off or whether the bottles are located on the lower/middle or lower section.

RED WHITE SPARKLING °F °C °F/°C ON/OFF

HOW TO USE THE BUTTONS ON THE DISPLAY PANEL:

You can set the temperature as you desire by pushing the button or. When you push the two buttons for first time, the LED readout will show the original temperature set at previous time (the temperature preset at the factory is 50 F). The temperature that you desire to set will increase 1 F or 1 C if you push the once, on the contray the temperature will decrease 1 F or 1 C if you push the once.

When you store mostly red wines, the temperature which you control by pushing the above two buttons needs to be set between 15.5 to 18.5 C and the LED lamp beside "RED" will be lit red.

When you store mostly white wines, the temperature needs to be set at between 10 to 15°C and the RED lamp beside "WHITE" will be lit green. When you store mostly sparkling wines the temperature needs to be set at between 7.2 to 9.5°C and the LED lamp beside "SPARKLING" will be lit amber.

Shelves

Shelving is chrome plated. To accommodate different size bottles, they can be moved up or drown by sliding them out of the tracks. The shelves are designed to accommodate the maximum amount of bottles.

Wine Rack

There is an additional wine rack at bottom section of the unit where you can store up to 6 wine bottles. This rack is removable for cleaning purpose.

NOTE:

When you use the wine cooler for the first time or restart the wine cooler after it has been turned off for 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.

Also, there is a 4 to 6 C variance between the top and bottom shelves of the wine chiller. Therefore, If you have set the wine cellar for red wine only and the temperature reads 16 C and you want to place a mix of white and red wines, you should place the wine bottles on the bottom shelves and the red wines on the top shelves.
