APPLIANCE SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read
and obey all safety messages.
This is the Safety Alert Symbol. The symbol alerts you to potential hazards that
can kill or injure you and others. All safety messages will follow the Safety
Alert Symbol and either the words "DANGER" or "WARNING".
DANGER means that failure to heed this safety
statement may result in severe personal injury or
death.
WARNING means that failure to heed this safety
statement may result in extensive product damage,
serious personal injury, or death.
All safety messages will alert you about the potential hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,
and let you know what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Before the appliance is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as
described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock or injury when using the appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do
not use an extension cord.
• Replace all panels before operating.
• It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your appliance be provided. Use receptacles
that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
• Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
• Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in
electrical shock or death.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in
this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
• This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a) which is
environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase the
greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance that no
parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the eyes.
• In the event of any damage:
- Avoid open flames and anything which creates a spark,
- Disconnect from the power supply,
- Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes and
- Contact the Service Department for advice.
• The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of
a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up.
4
For every ounce of coolant at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The amount of coolant in
the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance. It is hazardous for anyone other than
an Authorized Service Person to carry out servicing or repairs to this appliance.
• Take serious care when handling, moving and using the appliance to avoid either damaging the
refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.
• Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel, so
as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.

• Use two or more people to move and install appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other
injury.
• To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed.
Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 72°F (23°C) and below 78°F (26°C).
• The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
• The appliance must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance with
state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the appliance.
• The size of the fuse (or circuit breaker) should be 15 amperes.
• It is important that the appliance be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several
adjustments to level it.
• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
• Make certain that the pipes are not pinched, kinked or damaged during installation.
• Check for leaks after connection.
• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance.
• Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may damage
or discolor the interior.
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Instruction Manual.
• Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas. Clearances between the door and cabinet are necessarily
small. Be careful closing the door when children are in the area.
Risk of child entrapment!
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are
still dangerous, even if they will “just sit for a few days”.
Before discarding your old refrigerator:
• Take off the doors
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using your Appliance
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
CAUTION: After unpacking you MUST allow this appliance to stand upright for at least 2 hours to
allow the lubricant and refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and stabilize. Failure
to do so may adversely affect performance and the lifetime of this unit.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
• Install the handle on the door. (See Installing the Stainless Steel Handle.)
Installation of your Appliance
CAUTION: This appliance is designed for storing and cooling beverages and drinks. Do not store
perishable food, medicine or other medical products.
• The appliance is designed for built-in, recessed or free-standing installation for indoor use only.
NOTE: Do not store or install the appliance outdoors.
• Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level
the unit, adjust the front leveling legs.
• For freestanding installation, 5” (127mm) of space at the back and sides of the unit and 4“
(102mm) at the top are suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor
and condenser for energy saving. Even for built-in installation, it is better to keep at least ¼"
(5mm) of space on each side, 2" (50mm) at the back and ⅛" (3mm) at the top to ensure proper
service access and ventilation. And the air vent at the front of the appliance must never be
covered or blocked in any way.
CAUTION: Make sure that the socket and ON/OFF switch are easily accessible after the appliance
has been installed.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
• Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly 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.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator or other
heating source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase
electrical consumption. Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall below 60°F
(16°C). For best performance, do not install the appliance behind a cabinet door or block the
base grille.
12
Built-in Under-counter Instructions
Make sure your installation does not block the front ventilation
grille. The unit is designed to fit under worktops, using the
height-adjustable ventilation grille to ensure that the feet are
concealed from front view.
If the unit is fully integrated to be installed for fitting kitchen
plinth, make sure that the ventilation gaps in the plinth are at
least 300 square centimeters and remove the ventilation
grilles, so that warm air can disperse unhindered. Otherwise
the appliance has to work harder, resulting in an increase in
electricity consumption.
NOTE: When pushing the appliance into the niche, make sure
that the mains cable does not get trapped.

Fully Integrated Built-in-Column Instructions
RISK OF DAMAGE! The wine cabinet has an elongated glass
door and must not be set down vertically at any time!
The unit door seals the installed unit almost completely, so an air
vent must be provided in the base of the housing. Warmed air
must be conducted via the ventilation shaft to the rear wall of the
housing and then expelled upwards. The ventilation channels
should measure at least 200 square centimeters in cross-
section.
WARNING: To ensure the proper functioning of the appliance, air vents should never be blocked or
covered.
WARNING: If the ventilation gaps given are not observed, the compressor will run more frequently
and for longer periods. This will result in increased energy consumption and a higher operating
temperature for the compressor. This may, in turn, cause damage to the compressor. It is essential
to observe the ventilation gaps given.

Built-in Cabinetry Instructions
Make sure your installation does not block the front ventilation grille. And be sure the door will open
and close properly in the chosen location.
NOTE:
To ensure proper service access and ventilation, A must be
at least ¼"/ 5mm more than a, B must be at least ¼"/ 5mm
more than b and C must be at least ¼"/ 5mm more than c.
Electrical Connection
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance 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. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~60Hz three-prong grounded electrical outlet.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed
or dangling.
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never
unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out
from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or
otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at
either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.

Setting the Temperature Control
• The unit has two separate temperature zones. The temperature of both zones can be set between
5ºC and 20ºC (41ºF and 68ºF). It can be used as a wine maturing cabinet or a wine serving cabinet.
For maturing wine, the recommended temperature setting ranges of both zones should be
between 11ºC and 14ºC (52ºF and 57ºF). For serving wine, the recommended temperature setting
range of UPPER zone should be between 5ºC and 10ºC (41ºF and 50ºF) which is ideal for serving
champagne & white wine and the recommended temperature setting range of LOWER zone
should be between 15ºC and 20ºC (58ºF and 68ºF) which is ideal for serving red wine.
• When the unit is plugged in for the first time, the unit will power up automatically to the preset
defaults. The preset temperature at the factory for UPPER temperature zone is 8ºC (46ºF) and for
LOWER temperature zone is 12ºC (54ºF).
• You can touch the left side UP and DOWN keys to control the internal temperature of the UPPER
temperature zone and touch the right side UP and DOWN keys to control the internal temperature
of the LOWER temperature zone. When you touch either key at the first time, the display will show
the last temperature set previously.
21
• IMPORTANT: For models VC60D and SWC1966 with non-Twin Wine Conditioning System, the
temperature set for the LOWER temperature zone must always be just as high as or higher than
that in the UPPER temperature zone.
• The temperature that you desire to set will increase 1ºC or 1ºF if you touch the UP key once, on
the contrary the temperature will decrease 1ºC or 1ºF if you touch the DOWN key once. The display
flashes while you make the setting.
• After the temperature has been set, the display shows the current inner temperature of the
particular temperature zone.
• To view the set temperature at any time, touch the UP or DOWN key, the set temperature will
temporarily flash in the display for 5 seconds. Then the display shows the current inner
temperature again.

Interior Light
The interior light makes it easy to view your wine labels and enhances the display of your collection.
Touching and holding the LIGHT key for 5 seconds allows you to toggle between 2 modes of
operation for the internal lights: functional (default) mode and showcase mode. If you are in
functional (default) mode (also named as energy saving mode), the lights will turn on only when the
door is open. If you are in showcase mode, the lights will be on whether or not the door is open.
The unit is equipped with the LED type lights and they are designed for extremely long life. Thanks to
the LED lighting, the wine will not be adversely affected by heat or UV light. But they are not user
serviceable. To change them pls contact the service department.
NOTE: Please use only the same type of LED light fittings originally provided by the manufacturer.
Sabbath Mode
Sabbath mode is available for the observance of certain religious holidays. This mode turns off the
displays, interior light and audible alarms and prevents them from turning on again. Normal cooling
operations will still take place.
To initiate Sabbath mode, press the POWER and LIGHT keys at the same time for at least 5
seconds. The displays and interior lights will go out to confirm the Sabbath mode is ON.
Sabbath mode can be canceled by repeating the above process. The Sabbath mode will
automatically turn off after 48 hours.
Temperature Memory Function
In the event of a power interruption (power surge, breaker switch, etc.), the unit will remember the
previous temperature settings, and when the power is recovered, the cabinet temperature will return
to the same setting temperature as before power was lost.
23
Temperature Alarm/Door Alarm
• An audible alarm sounds if the storage temperature is not cold enough. The temperature display
flashes at the same time.
• The cause of the temperature being too high may be:
o Warm items were placed inside
o Too much warm ambient air flowed in when rearranging and removing contents
o Power failure for some time
o The appliance is faulty.
• The audible alarm is automatically silenced, and the temperature display stops flashing when the
temperature is sufficiently cold again.
• If the door has been left open for more than 60 seconds, the alarm will sound. Pressing the any
key once will switch off the audible alarm.
DYNAMIC COOLING / SILENT Mode
The appliance has two different running modes. In Silent mode once the required temperature is
reached, the appliance will run without the fan. In Dynamic Cooling mode
t
he fan cycles on and off to
circulate the air even after the required temperature is
reached. This ensures consistent humidity and
temperature distribution in the wine cooler, creating perfect conditions for long term storage.
Using the dynamic mode increases the level of noise in operation.
Door Lock
If the unit is provided with a lock system, the keys are located inside the plastic bag that contains the
User Manual. Insert the key into the lock and turn it counterclockwise to unlock the door. To lock the
door, do the reverse operation, making sure the metal pin is engaged completely. Remove the key
and put it in a secure place for safekeeping.
Shelves for Models:
ASDW2412 / LAWC2431 / ADWC2442 /
SDW2416 / LWC2435 / SDWC2446
To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure to
have the door all the way open when pulling the
shelves out of the rail compartment.
• Any of the shelves can be removed to store
larger items.
• When removing the shelf from the rail
compartment, make sure to remove all items
first. Press the right slide release lever down
and at the same time lift the corresponding left
slide lever up and pull the drawer out until it is
free of tracks and the cabinet. In order to replace
the shelf, align the left and right slide channels
with the tracks in the cabinet. Ensuring an even track engagement on both sides, gently push the
shelf into the cabinet until it stops.
24
Defrosting
• The unit defrosts automatically in normal operating conditions.
• The evaporator behind the rear wall of the unit defrosts automatically. The condensate collects in
the drainage channel behind the rear wall of the unit, and flows through the drainage hole into
the drip tray near the compressor where it evaporates.
• However, frost may accumulate on the evaporator if the unit is repeatedly opened in a high heat
or high humidity location. If this frost pattern does not clear within 24 hours, your unit will require
manual defrosting.
Storage
Bottles can differ in size. Accordingly, the actual number of bottles you can store may vary.
The approximate maximum bottle capacity can be achieved when storing traditional 750 ml Bordeaux
bottles in bulk storage.
You may load your wine bottles in single rows or by stacking while taking note of the following: if you
do not have enough bottles to fill your wine cellar, it is better to distribute the load throughout the wine
cellar so as to avoid “all on top” or “all below” type loads.
• Keep small gaps between the walls and the bottles to allow air to circulate. As in an underground
cellar, air circulation is important to prevent mold and for a more homogeneous temperature within
the cellar.
• To facilitate air circulation, do not overload your wine cellar.
• Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located inside on the rear panel of the wine cellar).
• To prevent bottles from falling, do not try to slide the shelves outward beyond the fixed position.
• Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time as this may cause the wine cellar to tilt forward
if not properly installed.
25
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your Appliance
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the appliance during cleaning could result in electrical shock or other
personal injury.
• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items, including shelves.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda (about 2 tablespoons of
baking soda to a quart of water).
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area where the controls are
located, or any electrical parts.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry
with a clean, soft cloth.
• Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel.
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, you need to take the proper steps to protect the contents.
Vacations
• Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn
off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave
the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
Moving your Appliance
1. Remove all items.
2. Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
3. Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also, protect
the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.
Energy-Saving Tips
• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing
appliances and out of direct sunlight.
• Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.
• Do not keep the door open any longer than necessary.
