3. Important Safety Instructions  
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your appliance,  
follows these basic precautions  
Do not use if the power supply cord is damaged. If damaged, it must be replaced by a  
qualified electrician.  
This wine cooler is not intended for use by young children or physically-challenged  
persons without supervision/assistance. Young children must be supervised to ensure  
safety around this or any appliance.  
Ensure the unit is unplugged before cleaning or when not in use.  
To clean the unit, use only mild detergents or glass cleaning products. Never use harsh  
detergents or solvents.  
Do not use this wine cooler with an extension cord or power board. Please ensure that  
the appliance is plugged directly into the electrical outlet.  
When positioning the wine cooler, ensure that there is at least a 2” clearance at the  
sides and a 4” clearance at the back. This will allow for adequate ventilation of any heat  
generated by the wine cooler.  
This cooler is designed to store wine bottles. If food is stored inside, ensure that there is  
sufficient airflow between items. Please note that the temperature range for this cooler  
is optimized for wine and beverage storage. Perishable food items may require a  
different storage environment.  
Do not place hot food or beverages into the wine cooler.  
Close the cooler door immediately after putting in any items to keep the internal  
temperature relatively constant.  
Keep appliance away from any heat source or direct sunlight.  
For a stable installation, make sure the appliance is placed on a flat, level and solid  
surface.  
Ensure that the surface on which the wine cooler is placed is strong enough to hold the  
wine cooler and the items stored inside.  
Avoid placing any objects on top of the wine cooler.  
The wine cooler is an electrical appliance. To avoid injury from electrical shock do not  
operate the Wine Cooler with wet hands, while standing on a wet surface or while  
standing in water. Do not use outdoors or in wet conditions.  
When positioning or moving the appliance ensure that it is not turned up side down or  
greater than 45° or more off level.  
Never pull the cord to disconnect it from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull it from the  
outlet.  
Never lift or carry the wine cooler by the power cord.  
This wine cooler is designed for household, non-commercial use only. Any other use will  
void the warranty.  
Do not plug into the power outlet before set up is completed.  
 
An empty cooler can be a hazardous for children or small pets. If disposing of the cooler  
remove gasket seals, latches, lids or the entire door from your unused appliance, or take  
other action to ensure the cooler is harmless.  
Do not cut or remove the ground prong from the power cord.  
Do not move this appliance without emptying it and securing the door in a closed  
position.  
 
4. Installation  
Before using your wine cooler  
Remove the exterior and interior packaging material  
Stand the unit upright for approximately 2 hours before connecting to the power  
source. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system  
from handling during transportation.  
Clean the interior surface with a soft cloth and warm water.  
Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance  
when it is fully loaded.  
Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater,  
radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources  
may increase the ambient temperature and electrical consumption. Extreme  
cold or hot ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance to malfunction.  
Allow up to 24 hours of operation for the wine bottles to reach the desired  
temperature.  
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 a qualified electrician.  
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit is  
equipped with a 3-pin plug to minimize the possibility of electrical shock. Do not under any  
circumstances cut or remove the ground wine from the power cord supplied.  
Use of extension cords is not recommended.  
This unit requires a standard 110V-60HZ electrical outlet with 3-pin plug.  
To prevent accidental injury, the power cord should be secured behind the wine refrigerator  
and not left exposed or dangling.  
 
5. Operations  
Temperature Setting  
It is recommended that you install the wine cooler in a place where the ambient temperature is  
between (60- 80°F). If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures,  
the performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing in extreme cold or hot  
conditions may cause interior temperature to fluctuate thus the set temperature may not be  
achievable.  
You can set the wine cooler temperature by pressing the “ ” and “ buttons on the control  
panel.  
Temperature settings for upper zone: 44ºF-66ºF (Left side control panel)  
Temperature settings for lower zone: 50ºF-66ºF (Right side control panel)  
Generally for red wines, the temperature range should be between 57ºF 61ºF and for white  
wines, the temperature range should be 50ºF - 54ºF. This is based on an ambient room  
temperature of 77ºF.  
Interior Light  
You can turn on and off the interior light by pressing the “Light” button. The “Light” button on the  
left side controls the upper zone light and the “Light” button on the right side controls the lower  
zone light.

Your wine cooler comes with a towel bar style handle. To install the handle, you will need a  
Phillips-head screwdriver.  
Open the door of the wine cooler.  
Located the two screw holes on the inside of the door (they may be partially obscured by  
the door seal so you may need to remove the door seal)  
Insert the screws into the screw holes until they stick out of the front of the door.  
Line up the holes in the handle with the screws and give each screw about 2-4 full turns  
into the handle bar.  
Now the turn the screws in all the way, and your handles are installed.  
Replace seal into door frame.  
 
Bottle Capacity  
This wine cooler is designed to store 6 bottles in the upper zone and 15 bottles in the lower zone.  
The bottle capacity listed for your wine cooler is an estimated maximum capacity based on a  
standard 750ml wine bottle. For other size bottles, the capacity will vary.  
Leveling Legs  
Your wine cooler comes with four leveling legs. To adjust these legs, carefully lean the wine  
cooler to one side (make sure it is emptied and the door is secured) and unscrew the legs to  
make them longer. Screw the legs tighter to make them shorter. This wine cooler is not  
designed to operate without the leveling legs  
Wine Racks  
The individual wine racks have a slight difference between the top and a bottom of the racking.  
If you are having trouble fitting the maximum number of bottles of wine in the wine cooler, try  
flipping the wine racks over to accommodate the shape of the bottle.  
Air Filter  
Your wine cooler has a washable air filter over the air intake in the back. Periodically, this air  
filter should be cleaned. Remove the air filter and gently wash it in a solution of mild detergent  
and water. Make sure it is completely dry before installing it back to the air intake.  
Energy Saving Tips  
Do not locate the wine cooler in direct sunlight or any heat generating sources. Let any warm  
items cool before placing them in the wine cooler.
