INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Cooler
Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
o
6 Shelves
o
Handle
o
Instruction Manual
o
2 Extra Screws for Installing Handle
IMPORTANT: Before connecting this cooler to a power source, let it stand upright for
approximately 24 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.
To Install Handle
1) Pull away the door gasket in the area where the handle is to be installed, as Illustration #1.
The gasket is easily removed by hand, no tools are necessary.
2) Align the handle with the preinstalled screws on the door frame. Tighten the screws with a
screwdriver until the handles secure tightly against the door frame, as Illustration #2. (Do NOT
over tighten as this will cause damage to the handle assembly).
3) Replace the door gasket to its original position.
Note: This cooler includes handles that are not required to operate this cooler. If you
choose not to use the handle supplied, simply follow step 1 to access the pre-installed screws
and remove them and then place 2 decorative plugs (NOT included) into the two holes

To Install Your Cooler
This cooler is designed for free standing or built-in (fully recessed) installation.
Place your cooler on a solid and level floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully
loaded. This will ensure a vibration-free and noise-free operation. Adjust the leveling legs in
and out to stabilize the cooler horizontally. If the legs are not properly adjusted, the cooler
may be unstable and result in excess noise or vibration.
Locate the cooler 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. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the cooler not to perform
properly.
It is not advisable to install this cooler in moist areas or directly adjacent to a kitchen sink, as
moisture could cause premature corrosion to the components of your new cooler.
It is recommended you install the cooler in a place with temperatures above 60°F (15°C)
and below 90°F (32°C), and humidity is under 60%. If the ambient temperature is above
or below recommended temperatures, the performance of the cooler may be affected.
Placing your cooler in extremely cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to
fluctuate, and the temperature range of 5ºC-18ºC (40ºF-65ºF) may not be reached.

Connect the cooler to an exclusive, properly grounded, standard electrical supply
(115V/60 Hz), in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a
certified electrician or an authorized products service center.
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.
The cooler should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has
a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the cooler. This provides the best
performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire
hazard from overheated.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power
cord supplied.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug. However, if you must use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding type cooler
extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of
the cord is 10 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
If the cooler is going to be used in an area that is prone to power surges/outages, it is
suggested that you use a power surge protector. The surge protector that you select
must have a surge block high enough to protect the cooler it is connected to. Damages
due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your
product warranty.

sunlight.
- Ensure that the cooler is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.
- Only open the cooler door for as long as necessary. Frequent opening of the door will affect
internal temperature.
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 wine cooler 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.
