This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation. Before operating your wine cooler for the first time, follow these steps:

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.

• Clean the interior surface of the unit with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.

• Place the cooler on a level surface that will be strong enough to support the unit when it is fully loaded. To level your cooler, adjust the front feet located at the bottom of the unit.

INSTALLING THE STAINLESS-STEEL HANDLE

To install the handle, follow the instructions below:

1. Remove the rubber gasket from the right side of the inside of the door

(you don’t need to remove the whole gasket, just the side that covers the openings for the screws).

2. Remove the screws from the included bag. Feed the screws through the

holes from the inside until they poke through to the outside front of the door frame.

3. Align the handle with the two screws, then tighten the screws into the

handle using a screwdriver until the handle is both flush and secured tightly against the door frame. DO NOT over-tighten the screws, as you may cause damage to the door frame.EN

Your unit comes with a small water tray to help moisturize corks and or wooden shelves so they don't dry out. Fill the tray halfway and place it on the middle shelf— horizontally and towards the back —so moisture is evenly distributed throughout the inside of the cabinet. Refill the tray when it is a quarter of the way empty and exercise caution when removing or restocking bottles so water does not spill out.EN

• Unplug the cooler and remove anything inside.

• Wash the inside of the unit with a solution made of warm water and baking soda solution (2 tablespoons of baking soda to one quart of water).

• Unscrew the water reservoir at the bottom of the unit and rinse with water.

• To clean the outside of the unit, use a mild detergent and warm water.

• Remove anything stored inside.

• Securely tape down all loose parts located inside the unit.

• Turn the leveling feet up to the base in order to avoid damage.

• Tape the door shut. Be sure the cooler stays in an upright position during transportation.EN

• The ideal temperature for storing red or white wines is 55°F, with humidity between 60% and 75% RH.

• Store corked bottles on their sides, to keep the cork from drying out and allowing air into the bottle.

• UV rays make wine age faster, so keep bottles out of direct sunlight.

• Avoid heavy vibrations from motors, etc.

• Store wine separately from strong odors that might contaminate the flavor of the wine. HOW LONG SHOULD I STORE MY WINE? While most wines today are meant to be drunk “young” (within a few years of production) some fine wines are best served by proper aging. But aging too long can decrease the flavor of the wine. Generally speaking, red wines can age longer than white wines, but here is a storage guide for some popular vintages. Cabernet Sauvignon ....................... 7-10 years Pinot Noir ....................................... 5 years Merlot ............................................ 3-5 years Zinfandel ........................................ 2-5 years Beaujolais ....................................... Drink now Chardonnay .................................... 2-3 years Riesling ........................................... 3-5 years Sauvignon Blanc ............................. 18 months – 2 years Pinot Gris ........................................ 1-2 years Champagne .................................... Ready to drinkEN
