Setting up your wine cooler
Before using your cooler
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Let your cooler stand upright for approximately six hours before
connecting it to power. This reduces the possibility of a malfunction in
the cooling system from improper handling during transportation.
• Clean the exterior surface of your cooler with a soft, dry cloth and
clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Finding a suitable location
• Your cooler is designed to be built-in or free standing.

Building in your wine cooler
Required tools
Preparing the enclosure
We do not recommend that you install your cooler into a corner or directly
beside a wall. The door needs to be opened more than 90° to allow full
extension of the shelves. If it is necessary to place the unit next to a wall or in
a corner, leave at least 2.4 - 4 in. (6 -10 cm) between the wall and the
appliance to allow for the door opening.
CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety goggles during installation.
Notes:
• The indicated depth requirement assumes that the electrical outlet is located
in the adjacent cabinet or is flush mounted (not surface mounted) in the rear
wall of the enclosure.
• If the electrical outlet is located inside an adjacent cabinet, cut a 1.5 in.
(3.8 cm) diameter hole to route the power cord. If the cabinet wall is metal,
the hole edge must be covered with a bushing or grommet to protect the
cord.

Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether your cooler is
properly grounded.
Connecting to power
• Plug your cooler into a dedicated, properly installed grounded wall outlet.
Your cooler should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other
appliances. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be
directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.
• Plug in and run your cooler for three to four hours before making any
temperature adjustments and before adding wine. This allows your cooler
to reach a stable temperature.
• Do not use an extension cord with your cooler. If the power cord is too
short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near your cooler. Use of
an extension cord can negatively affect your cooler’s performance.
Using your wine cooler
Turning on your cooler
Your cooler turns on automatically when you plug it in. You do not need to
push the button to turn it on.
You can manually set your cooler to “Standby” mode by pressing and holding
the button for approximately three seconds, provided that no other
setting is in effect (the display is not blinking). Repeating this action restarts
your cooler.
WARNINGS:
• Improper use or defeat of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric
shock.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from
the supplied power cord.
CAUTION: Your cooler is not designed to be installed in an RV or used with an
inverter.
Notes:
• Check your local power source. Your cooler requires a 110 V-120 V, 60 Hz
power supply.
• Use a receptacle that accepts the grounding prong. The power cord is
equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock
hazard from your cooler.
19
61-Bottle Built-In Wine Cooler
www.insigniaproducts.com
Setting the temperature
Under normal conditions, the display always shows the set temperature.
When adjusting the temperature, the display blinks to indicate that the
temperature is being adjusted.
The default temperature setting is 54° F (12° C), and the default temperature
scale is ° F.
When the or buttons are pressed, the temperature increases or
decreases in increments of one degree.
After you have adjusted your cooler to the temperature you want, release the
button. The temperature display blinks for approximately three seconds to
confirm the selected temperature. After the display stops blinking, the
temperature display indicates the set temperature.
The actual temperature inside your cooler can vary, based on ambient
temperature, how often the door is opened, and how many warm bottles
have recently been added.
Changing the temperature display
To switch the display between F° and C°, press and hold the and
buttons at the same time for approximately three to five seconds.
Lighting your cooler
Your cooler has a door switch that automatically turns on the interior LED
light when you open the door and turns it off when you close the door.
If want to light the interior of your cooler to display your wine when the door
is closed, open the door, press the button twice, then close the door. This
mode is canceled when you open the door and press the button again.
Energy-efficient LEDs are used for long-term durability.
Memory function
If you experience a power outage while your cooler is on, when the power is
restored, your cooler will resume the same temperature that was set when
the power went off.
Notes:
• A large number of bottles will lower the cooling efficiency of your cooler.
• Adjust the thermostat setting by one increment at a time. Allow several hours
for the temperature to stabilize between adjustments.
20
www.insigniaproducts.com
Storing wine
It is necessary to position the bottles alternately on the upper six shelves. This
allows for the storage of nine 750 ml bottles on each of the six shelves and
seven bottles on the bottom shelf, for a total storage capacity of 61 wine
bottles. Shelves can be removed to accommodate larger bottles.
Removing a shelf
1 Remove all bottles from the shelves.
2 Tilt one side of the shelf upward and then gently pull out the shelf.
Replacing a shelf
• To reinstall the shelf, make sure that it is resting securely on the support
brackets, then push inward until it clicks into place.

Serving and storage tips
We suggest that you pour wine at a temperature below the ideal serving
temperature, because the wine warms up quickly after it’s been poured into a
glass.
• In order to maintain good air circulation in your cooler, do not let the
bottles touch the back of your cooler.
• Do not store bottled wine by the box or case in your cooler.
• The cork of an opened bottle should always be moistened when returning
it to the bottle.
• Red wine should be allowed to breathe (oxygenate) before drinking. We
suggest that you put pink/rose type wines on the table two to five hours
before drinking and red wine four to five hours before drinking. That also
allows them to reach the suitable serving temperature. White wine, on the
other hand, can be served right away.
• Champagne should always be stored in your cooler and taken out
immediately before drinking.

Maintaining your wine cooler
Your cooler is designed for year-round use with only minimal cleaning and
maintenance.
When you first receive it, wipe the cabinet with a mild detergent and warm
water, then wipe dry with a dry cloth. Do this periodically to keep your cooler
looking new.
Cleaning the interior of your cooler:
1 Turn off your cooler and unplug it from the wall outlet.
2 Remove all wine.
3 Wash the inside with a warm, damp cloth soaked in a solution of one
quart of lukewarm water and two tablespoons of baking soda.
4 Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep your cooler
running efficiently.
5 Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
Defrosting your cooler
Your cooler is equipped with an automatic defrost function and does not
require manual defrosting. Defrost water from your cooler is channeled into a
drip tray located above the compressor. Heat transfer from the compressor
causes the defrost water to evaporate.
Alarms
Door ajar alarm
If the door is not closed completely for five minutes, an alarm sounds. Close
the door to silence the alarm.
If the door is closed and the alarm continues to sound, make sure that the
actuator at the bottom of the door is making contact with the switch on your
cooler.
If the door alarm sounds when filling your cooler, it can be silenced by
pressing the power button once.
Temperature alarms and error codes
If the inner cabinet temperature is higher than 73° F (23° C) for one hour, the
error code "HI" shows on the display and an alarm sounds.

If the inner cabinet temperature is lower than 32° F (0° C), the error code "LO"
shows on the display and an alarm sounds.
If the inner cabinet temperature remains at 32° F (0° C) for more than 30
minutes, the error code “CL" shows on the display, an alarm sounds, and your
cooler stops functioning to prevent the contents from freezing.
Storing your cooler
1 Turn off your cooler and unplug it from the wall outlet.
2 Remove all wine.
3 Clean your cooler.
4 Leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of
condensation, mold, or odor.
Moving your wine cooler
1 Turn off your cooler and unplug it from the wall outlet.
2 Remove all wine.
3 Securely tape down all loose items inside your cooler.
4 Turn the leveling foot up to avoid damage.
5 Tape the door shut.
6 Protect the outside of your cooler with a blanket or similar item.
7 Make sure that your cooler stays in the upright position during
transportation.
If that is not possible and your cooler must be placed on its back or
side during transportation, upon reaching the destination allow it to
remain upright for six hours before plugging it in to avoid damage to
internal components.
Power failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect
the temperature of your appliance, if you minimize the number of times the
door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, take
the proper steps to protect the contents of your cooler.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution with children. Your cooler should not be
accessible to child's play.
Note:
Wait three to five minutes before attempting to restart the
appliance if operation has been interrupted.

Disposal
Your cooler may not be treated as regular household waste. It should be
taken to an appropriate waste collection point for recycling of electrical
components. For information on local waste collection points, contact your
local waste removal agency or government office.
Tips on saving energy
• Locate your cooler in the coolest area of the room, away from heat
producing appliances or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight.
• Overloading your cooler forces the compressor to run longer.
• Do not open the door too often, especially if the weather is very hot. Close
the door as soon as possible to prevent cool air from escaping.
• Make sure that your cooler is sufficiently ventilated, with adequate air
circulation behind it.
Troubleshooting
Error codes
If the “HI”, “LO”, or “CL” error codes appear on the display for more than five
minutes, a power reset may rectify the issue (see Temperature alarms and
error codes on page 22). Unplug your cooler, wait five minutes, then plug it
back in. If the error code persists, contact consumer care or an authorized
service agent.
CAUTION: Do not try to repair your cooler yourself. Doing so invalidates the
warranty.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Your cooler does not operate. • Make sure that your cooler is plugged in and that the
plug is pushed completely into the outlet.
• Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace
the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
• If a power failure occurs, your cooler turns off. Wait
until the power is restored, then turn it on again.
Your cooler door does not
close completely.
• Adjust the shelf properly.
• Clean the door gaskets.
• Level your cooler with the leveling feet.
Your cooler is not cold enough. • Make sure that the door is closed properly.
• Allow time for new beverages to cool, then check
again.
