INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before using your wine chiller
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
o Shelves
o 2 Keys
o Handle
o Instruction Manual
Before connecting the Wine Chiller to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will
reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Install the handle on the left side of the door.
Installation of your wine chiller
This appliance is designed to be for free standing installation or flush-in.
Place your wine chiller on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level your wine
chiller, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom of the wine chiller.
Locate the wine chiller 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. Extreme cold
ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly.
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
Plug the Wine Chiller into an exclusive, 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 Products service center
9
.
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 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 powe
r cord supplied. For personal
safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This appliance requires a standard 220-240V~ 50/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong. 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. The cord should be secured behind the app
liance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.
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 prevent overloading
house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the rec
eptacle. 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.
Power bar with surge protection
Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are very susceptible
to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.
If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power surges / outages; it is
suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices / appliances you use. The surge
protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the appliance it is connecte
d to. If you
have any questions regarding the type and size of surge protector needed contact a licensed electrician in your
area.
Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your product
warranty.

Cleaning your wine chille
12
r
Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves. Wash the inside surfaces with a
warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 cup of
water.
Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning
area of the controls, 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 steel brush on the stainless steel. These will contaminate the stainless steel with
steel particles and rusting may occur.
Shelves
This appliance is equipped with a telescopic runner assembly (except for the bottom shelf) and you can move the
wooden shelves out and in smoothly.
To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure to have the door all the way opened when pulling shelves out of
the rail compartment. For easy access to the bottles, you must pull the shelves approximately 1/3 out of the rail
compartment.
To remove the shelves out of the rail pull each shelf approximately 1/3 out. Use a long flat screwdriver to press
down the right plastic notch as shown in Figure A and at the same time lift the left plastic notch as shown in Figure
B. Then proceed to pull out the shelf slowly.
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 your contents.

Energy saving tips
The wine chiller should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out
of the direct sunlight.
Charcoal filtration system
Your wine is a living object that breathes through the cork of its bottle. In order to preserve the quality and taste
of your fine wines, they must be stored at the ideal temperature and ambient conditions. Your cellar is equipped
with an active charcoal filtration system to ensure air purity, cooling efficiency, and to maintain an odor free
cabinet for the storage of your fine wines. The filter assembly is located at the rear panel inside your cellar.
Keep in mind, that this filter must be changed every 12 months.
1 Remove the bottles of wine stored on the two (2)
shelves in front of the filter.
Turn Left to remove filter.
2 Remove the shelves and set aside to be replaced
once you have changed the filter
3 Hold the filter and turn it at 45 degrees in the
counter-clockwise direction and then pull it out.
4 Remove the existing filter and replace with a new
one.
5 Put the new filter into the hole and then turn the filter
at 45 degrees in clockwise direction.
