IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or injury when using your appliance, follow
these basic precautions:
• Read all instructions before using the Wine Chiller.
• DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment.
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned
appl
iances are still dangerous . . . even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days”.
• Before you throw away your old Wine Chiller: Take off the door. Leave the
shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
• Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance.
• Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fir
e
haz
ard or explosion.
• Do not store or use gasoline or any 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 repair or replace any part of the wine chiller or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-
repair instructions. Replace the fuse with the same type.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Ø Before Using Your Wine Chiller
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
(2)
W
ire Wine Racks
(1) User’s Manual
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Ø Installation of Your Wine Chiller
• THIS WINE CHILLER IS DESIGNED TO BE FREE STANDING INSTALLATION ONLY, AND
SHOULD NOT BE RECESSED OR BUILT-IN (FULLY RECESSED).
• ALLOW 5 INCHES OF SPACE BETWEEN THE BACK AND SIDES OF THE WINE CHILLER,
WHICH ALLOWS THE PROPER AIR CIRCULATION TO COOL THE HEAT SINK.
• Place your Wine Chiller on a surface that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
• 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
pr
operly.
• This Wine Chiller uses thermoelectric refrigeration technology (no compressor) and is no
t
designed for storage in hot areas like garages, warehouses or outdoors.
• 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 Avanti Products service center.
• After plugging the Wine Chiller into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before
pl
acing any items in the compartment.
7
Ø 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 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 appliance 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
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.
Ø EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do
not
use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cor
d
having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at
least 10 amperes.
Ø SURGE PROTECTOR
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 connected 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.
~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 Avanti Products service center.
8
OPERATING YOUR WINE CHILLER
It is
recommended you install the Wine Chiller in a place where the ambient temperature is between
23º-26ºC/ 72º-78ºF. If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures, the
performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in extreme cold or hot
conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate. The range of 8º-18ºC/46º-65ºF may not be
reached.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Ø Cleaning Your Wine Chiller
• UNPLUG the Wine Chiller, 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 a quart 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 c
lean soft cloth.
CAUTION
Failure to unplug the Wine Chiller could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
Ø 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.
Ø Moving Your Wine Chiller
• Remove all bottles.
• Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
• Tape the door shut.
• Protect outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.
Ø Energy Saving Tips
• The Wine Chiller should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
app
liances, and out of the direct sunlight.
• One characteristic of thermoelectric units is the length of time it requires to recover from having t
he
door
opened and shut frequently. It may be necessary to wait longer for the temperature to retur
n
t
o its former level once the door has been opened for too long. This is normal for this type of unit.

INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD
ATENCION
INSTRUCCIONES PARA
LA CONEXION A TIERRA
Este aparato electrodoméstico debe estar conectado a tierra. En caso de un cortocircuito eléctrico, la
conexión a tierra reduce el riesgo de choque eléctrico proporcionando un cable a tierra con una
enchufe de conexión a tierra. Este enchufe debe estar conectado en un tomacorriente instalado
correctamente y conectado a tierra.
ADVERTENCIA – El uso inadecuado del enchufe de conexión a tierra puede resultar en un riesgo de
choque eléctrico. Consulte con un electricista o persona de reparaciones competente si no
