We recommend installing the wine cooler in a place where the ambient temperature is between 20 ^ - 25 ^ / 68 ^ - 77 ^ . If the ambient temperature is above or below the recommended temperatures, it may affect the performance of the wine cooler. For example, placing the wine cooler in an extremely cold or hot environment can cause internal temperature fluctuations. It is thus possible that the temperature range ( 12 ^ - 18 ^ / 54 ^ - 65 ^ ) will not be reached in such conditions.

USER MANUAL
