The panel automatically locks after 20 seconds of inactivity. To unlock, long press the lock button (☐) for 2 seconds until you hear a beep. Then the buttons will function.

What should I do if the wine cellar is not cooling enough?

Check that the ambient temperature is between 50°F – 80°F (10°C – 26°C). Ensure the door is closed properly, the door seal is not damaged, and there is adequate clearance (6 inches back, 10 inches sides). Also, avoid frequent door openings.

Is the Ivation wine cellar noisy?

The thermoelectric cooling system is designed to be quiet and vibration-free. However, if you hear unusual noise, check that the unit is on a level, stable surface and that the fan is not obstructed.

Unplug the unit. Use a damp cloth with mild detergent to clean the interior and exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners or flammable fluids. Dry thoroughly before plugging back in.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

The manual does not provide instructions for door reversal. It is recommended to contact customer service at 866-849-3049 or [e-mail] for assistance.

What does the LED display error mean?

An LED display error typically indicates a PCB problem. Try unplugging the unit for a few minutes and plugging it back in. If the error persists, contact customer support.

How long does it take to reach the set temperature after first use?

Allow the unit to stand upright for 2 hours before plugging in. After turning on, it may take a few hours to stabilize. The temperature may vary slightly during the initial cycle.

Where should I place the wine cellar?

Place it on a level, stable surface in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources. Maintain clearance of 6 inches at the back and 10 inches on each side for proper airflow.

Safety Precautions

WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your appliance, follow these basic precautions:

Read all instructions before using the product.

Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance.

Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

Do not repair or replace any part of the unit or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions. Replace the fuse with the same type.

Position your wine cellar so that the plug is accessible.

Keep your wine cellar out of direct sunlight.

Do not place next to heat generating appliances.

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

Important: Position the cellar in a dry, well-ventilated space with ambient temperature between 50° – 80°F (10° – 26°C).

Before connecting the unit to a power source, allow it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of any system malfunctions which may have occurred from handing during transportation.

When positioning the wine cellar, leave clearance space of 6 inches in the back and 10 inches on both sides. Do not place any objects on top of the unit that may block air circulation.

This unit requires a standard 110V-60Hz electrical outlet. The unit should be properly grounded for your safety and in order to minimize the possibility of electrical shock. The power cord is equipped with a 3-prong plug.

Never cut or remove the ground wire from the supplied power cord.

The use of extension cords is not recommended.

The cord should be secured behind the wine cellar. Also, to prevent accidental injury, do not expose or dangle the cord.

Do not install the wine cellar in a closed cabinet without proper ventilation.

Do not remove the feet on the bottom of the wine cellar. The unit requires at least 2 inches (50mm) of ground clearance.

NOTE: If you are discarding an old electric wine cellar, remove the door and leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Operation

- When you first turn on the wine cellar, or restart it after an extended period of non-use, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LCD readout.

This is normal and it is due to the length of the activation time. Once the wine cellar is allowed for a few hours normal operation will resume.

• Place the cellar in a dry, well-ventilated space with ambient temperature between 50^ - 80^ (10^ - 26^) .
• If the ambient temperature is above or below the recommended range, the unit's performance may be affected. Extreme cold or hot conditions may cause the interior temperature to fluctuate. This will then prevent the optimal interior temperature range from being reached. In addition, the temperature may fluctuate depending on whether the interior light is on or off, and whether the bottles are located on the upper, middle, or lower racks.
