• This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV or used with an inverter.
• After plugging the wine cooler into a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the unit to cool down for 3 \~ 4 hours under before placing wine bottles or beverages in the appliance.

OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE

CONTROL PANEL

SELECT THE TEMPERATURE

- The unit has two temperature zones. For each zone, the temperature range can be set between 5^ and 18^ (40°F and 65°F).

IMPORTANT:

- The temperature selected for the lower compartment must always be higher than the top compartment. For optimum performance, the difference between the two zones should be maximum of 6^ to avoid damage related to condensation.

• The shelves are fully adjustable to suit various wine bottle shapes and sizes.
• To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure the door is fully open when pulling shelves out of the rail compartment.
• For easy access to the bottles stored, pull the shelves out approximately 1/3. The shelves are designed with an emergency stop to prevent them being removed too far when loaded.

BEFORE SWITCHING ON

• Make sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified person, as per the information contained in the installation instructions.
• After delivery, wait for four hours before connecting the appliance to your mains supply. This will allow any refrigerant gasses that may have been disturbed during the transportation process to settle.
• The outside of the appliance and the removable accessories contained within it, should be cleaned with a solution of liquid detergent and water.
• The interior of the appliance should be cleaned with a solution of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in lukewarm water.
• The interior and accessories should be thoroughly dried, after the cleaning process has been completed.
• There can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It will lessen as the appliance starts to cool.

DURING FIRST USE

Important: When you use the wine cooler for the first time or restart the appliance after it has been turned off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED display. This is normal and it is due to the length of activation time. Once the wine cooler has been running for a few hours everything will be back to normal.

• When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run continuously until the wine cooler reaches a cool enough temperature.
• During this period of time, you should try not to open the door frequently or place bottles inside of the appliance.
• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance or reconnecting it to your mains supply.

SWITCHING ON THE APPLIANCE AND SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

• Switching between Celsius and Fahrenheit: To alter what the temperature displays are showing, press the light button for 5 seconds.
• Switch on/turn off: To switch on the wine cooler, press the light and temperature buttons and hold 5 seconds. To turn off the appliance, press and hold the light and temperature buttons and hold 5 seconds.
• Temperature Setting: Press the temperature button to set the internal temperature of each zone. Temperatures in degrees will appear on every screen corresponding to distinct area for the top and the lower compartment.
• Note: When the temperature button is pressed for the first time, the LED displays indicates the factory preset temperature, 10^ / 50^ for the upper and 16^ / 60^ for the lower compartment.
• Press the temperature button once. The display for the upper compartment will flash. Press up and down buttons to increase/decrease the temperature.
• If you press again the temperature button, the display for the lower compartment will flash. Press up and down buttons to increase/decrease the temperature.
• When working with both upper and lower zone, setting temperature of upper zone must be lower than the lower zone as factory default setting.

INTERIOR LIGHT

- The cooler has an interior light. The light can be switched on and off by using the light button.

Note: To see the temperature of each zone at any time. Touch the up and down buttons, set temperature temporarily flash on the display for about 5 seconds. Use the "SET" to see the selected temperature zone or the other.

Important: When the temperature is changed, the compressor works harder to reach the required temperature. During this time, the side panels of the wine cooler can reach up to 45^ C however they will cool down when the set temperature is reached.

LOADING THE WINE COOLER

IMPORTANT: Your appliance is ideally suited to store 0.75 litre Bordeaux style wine bottles. Whilst it can store larger bottles, you must make sure that they do not prevent the door from shutting properly.

• Always check that you can close the door without it fouling on a wine bottle, before shutting it.
- When loading several bottles of wine at once, it will take longer for the appliance to cool the individual bottles
- As many bottles may differ in size and dimensions, the actual number of bottles you are able to store may vary
- The maximum storage number is based on standard 0.75 litre Bordeaux style wine bottles.

STORING YOUR WINE

The chart below indicates the ideal storage temperatures for different types of wine:

Type of wine Temperature (Celsius)	Temperature (Fahrenheit)
Red wine 12 - 18 °C 58 - 64 °F
White wine 5 - 12 °C 48 - 79 °F
Sparkling wines/champagne 4 - 8 °C	39 - 47 °F
Rose wine 9.5 - 10.5 °C 49.1 - 50.9 °F
Vintage wine 13 °C 55 °F

• Temperature stability is the most important factor when it comes to storing wine.
• Exposure to light, vibrations or fluctuations in temperature and humidity can all cause wine to spoil. When properly stored, wines not only maintain their quality but many will actually improve in aroma, flavour and complexity as they mature.
• Wines kept at a higher temperature will age faster. Wine that is exposed to temperatures that are greater than 18^ (64 °F) will suffer from poorer flavour and aroma.
• If wine is kept at too low a temperature, this can result in the development of harmful deposits. A humidity of 60%\~70% is ideal for keeping corks from shrinking.
• After a bottle of wine has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air. So it is best to store the remainder of the bottle upright, to minimize the surface area of the wine that is coming into contact with the air.
• Once opened, wine will remain in a drinkable condition for two days for delicate whites or three days for rich reds, as long as the bottle as been resealed. You should make sure that the seal is firm by checking the stopper.
• Special stoppers that keep wine sparkling and Champagne bubbling for one or two days after opening, can be bought at most good wine shops.
• When stored correctly, white wines can keep well for up to two years. Full bodied reds will age well for ten years and dessert wines will age well for up to twenty years.
• When you buy a bottle of wine, you should transfer it to a suitable storage location immediately (if you are not going to store it in your wine cooler).
• Cheaper bottles of wine will not age as well as more expensive ones.
• To make the most of the bouquet and taste of your wine, never fill more than half a glass at a time. It will also help if the shape of your wine glass is appropriate for your wine. The size and shape of your wine glass's bowl will determine the intensity and complexity of the bouquet. The stem should be long enough to allow you to avoid hand contact with the bowl of the glass and should be tulip-shaped or tapered at the top.
