Frequently Asked Questions - MCWC12B Magic Chef

What should I do if my wine cooler does not operate?

First, check that it is plugged in. Test the wall socket with another appliance. Also check if the circuit breaker tripped or a fuse blew.

Why is the temperature inside my wine cooler too warm?

Possible causes: door opened too often or not fully closed, gasket not sealing, recent disconnection, or temperature set too warm. Allow 24 hours for stabilization. Ensure 5 inches clearance around unit and avoid heat sources.

Why is the temperature too cold?

The temperature control may be set too cold. Turn the control to a warmer setting and wait several hours for the temperature to stabilize.

How do I clean my wine cooler?

Unplug the unit. Remove contents. Wash interior with a solution of 2 tablespoons baking soda per quart of lukewarm water. Clean racks with mild detergent. Wipe door gasket and exterior with mild detergent and warm water. Dry thoroughly.

Why is there moisture on the inside walls?

The door may be slightly open, opened too often, or the gasket may not seal properly. Ensure the door closes completely and reduce frequency of opening.

Why is the fan running constantly?

This is normal for the cooling system. The fan runs more at lower temperature settings or if the room is warmer than 77°F (25°C). It helps maintain the set temperature.

What should I do if water appears under the wine cooler?

This unit has a self-evaporation system. If water forms, the room humidity is too high. Use a dehumidifier or move the unit to a less humid room.

Can I install the wine cooler in a built-in or recessed area?

No, this wine cooler is designed for freestanding installation only. It requires at least 5 inches of clearance on the sides and back for proper ventilation.

Can I use an extension cord?

No, do not use an extension cord. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.

How can I save energy with my wine cooler?

Place the wine cooler in the coolest area away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Ensure the door is closed properly when the unit is on.

Before Using Your Wine cooler

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. (Cleaning instruction on page 6)

Installing Your Wine cooler

• This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
- Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the wine cooler, which allows the proper air ventilation. Adjust the legs to keep the wine cooler level.
- Locate the wine cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. If the ambient temperature is higher than 80^ F or lower than 55^ F it will hinder the performance of this appliance. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation.
- Avoid locating the wine cooler in moist areas.
- Plug the wine cooler into dedicated, properly installed-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. This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV or used with an inverter.
- After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 3 \~ 4 hours under before placing wine bottles in the wine cooler.

Electrical Connection

WARNING

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.

This wine cooler should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this wine cooler 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.

This wine cooler requires a standard 110-120 Volt A.C. / 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.

This wine cooler is not designed to be used with an inverter.

The cord should be secured behind the wine cooler and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.

Never unplug the wine cooler by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can negatively affect the performance of the unit.

If any problems with the appliance persist, please contact our Customer Service Dept. to consult with a representative at 888 775-0202 or visit our website to request warranty service at www.mcappliance.com.

- LIGHT SWITCH ( ): To manually illuminate/extinguish the interior light

- TEMPERATURE CONTROL PANEL ( + ): Increase Temperature

- TEMPERATURE CONTROL PANEL (☐): Decrease Temperature

Temperature Control

The lead-time to achieve the pre-set temperature depends on the nature and quantity of the object placed inside the cavity.

The temperature range can be set as low as 54^ or as high as 66^ to suit your specific storage requirements. You can adjust the desired temperature by adjusting the temperature adjust knob.

The actual cabinet temperature in thermal electric units is dependent on the ambient room temperature. Thus, the unit may not reach the desired preset temperature. For example, when the ambient temperature is 77^ F, the lowest cabinet temperature that the wine cooler can reach is approximately 54^ F. When the ambient temperature is 82^ F, the cabinet temperature can reach approximately 59^ F.

In the event of a power failure or interruption, all modified settings will be lost.
