Your safety and the safety of others are very important. We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the Safety Alert Symbol. The symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or injure you and others. All safety messages will follow the Safety Alert Symbol and either the words "DANGER” or “WARNING”

DANGER: Danger means that failure to heed this safety statement may result in

severe injury or death.

WARNING: Warning means that failure to heed this safety statement may

result in extensive product damage, serious personal injury, or death. All safety messages will alert you about the potential hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and let you know what can happen if the instructions are not followed. IMPORTANT SAFEGUIDES Before the appliance is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord.

• Replace all panels before operating.

• It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your appliance, be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull-chain.

• Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected.EN

• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.

• Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

• This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a) which is environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase the greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the eyes.

• In the event of any damage: - Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark, - Disconnect from the electrical power line, - Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes, and - Contact the Service Department for advice.

• The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up. For every ounce of coolant, at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate on the back of the appliance. It is hazardous for anyone other than an authorized Service Person to carry out servicing or repairs to this appliance.

• Take serious care when handling, moving, and using the appliance to avoid either damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

• Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service. FOLLOW WARNING CALL OUTS BELOW ONLY WHEN

APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL

• Use two or more people to move and install appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

• To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 50°F (10°C) and below 100°F (38°C). (Optimum operation occurs within the range 72° to 78°F, or 23°-26°C.). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.

• The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.EN

• The appliance must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance with state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances is required.

INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE

• The appliance is designed for free-standing installation only.

• WARNING: Do not store or install the appliance outdoors.

• CAUTION: This appliance is designed for storing and cooling beverages and drinks. Do not store perishable food, medicine or other medical products.

• Place your Wine Cooler on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level the unit, adjust the front leveling legs.

• For free-standing installation, leave 5 inches (127mm) of space around the back and sides of the unit to allow proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.

• NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator or other heating source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Don’t install in a location where the temperature will fall below 64°F (18°C). For best performance, do not install the appliance behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.

• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.

• Plug the Wine Cooler into an exclusive, properly grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.EN

www.newair.com 12 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WARNING Improper use of the grounded plug can result in electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, contact customer service immediately at [e-mail]. This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. This appliance requires a standard three-prong 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground wall outlet. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling. The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord. EXTENSION CORD Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.EN

www.newair.com 13 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS It is recommended you install the appliance in a place where the ambient temperature is between 64° and 100°F (18°-38°C). If the ambient temperature is above or below the recommended temperatures, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in extremely cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate. The range of 41-64°F (5-18°C) may not be reached. Temperature range: Upper zone 5-12°C (41-54℉) Lower zone 12-18°C (54-64℉) CONTROL PANEL (TOUCH CONTROL)

Press button for 3 seconds to turn on or turn off the appliance. LIGHT SETTING Press button to turn on or turn off the light. TEMPERATURESETTING Press lower zone temperature UP & DOWN button together for 5 seconds to change temperature display from Celsius to Fahrenheit. All the controls will be locked after no operation for 20 seconds, press upper zone temperature UP & Down button together for 5 seconds to unlock it. You can set the desired temperature by pressing or the temperature selected will increase/decrease by 1 degree with each press of the buttons.EN

• If the unit is unplugged, or power is 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 unit will not start.

• When you use the unit for the first time or restart the unit after it has 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 is due to the length of the activation time. There should not be a problem once the unit has been running for a few hours. DEFROSTING This appliance requires no manual defrosting. During the operation of the compressor, ice will build up on the evaporator plate which is at the back of inner cabinet. During the compressor’s off-cycle, the ice will melt, drip down, and collect in a tray above the compressor, where the compressor’s heat evaporates the water. If you notice excessive ice build-up on the evaporator, try setting the temperature slightly higher. Also, be sure that the door gasket is sealing well. SHELVES To take out a shelf, first remove its contents, then raise the back of the shelf slightly and pull the shelf out.

HOW TO USE YOUR MOISTURE TRAY

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

CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

1. Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items, including

2. Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda

(about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water).

3. Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.

4. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area where

the controls are located, or any electrical parts.

5. Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse

well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

6. Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel
