NOTE:

When you use the wine cooler for the first time or restart the wine cooler after it has been turned off for 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 it is due to the length of the activation time. Once the wine cooler is running for a few hours everything will be back to normal.
