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:

DANGER

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord.
• 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.
• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected.
• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
• Unplug the appliance or disconnect the 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.
• 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.
• Use two or more people to move/install the 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 50°F (10°C) and below 100°F (37°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
• The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
• The appliance must be installed with all electrical connections in accordance with state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115V 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 fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amps.
• It is important for the appliance to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several adjustments to level it.
• Although the unit has been tested at the factory, due to transit and storage, you should clean the appliance before use.
• Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may damage or discolor the interior.
• Do not use this apparatus for other than residential purposes.
• 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 that creates a spark,
  • Disconnect from the electrical power line,
  • 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. 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 on the back of 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.

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 in the garage a few days”.
• Before you throw away your old wine cooler or any appliance:
  • Remove 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Appliance

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Before connecting the appliance 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 using the screws that are provided.

Installation of Your Appliance

• This appliance is designed for free standing or built-in (fully recessed) installation. If free standing, the unit should have at least 4” of clearance at both sides, at the top and at the back to allow for adequate ventilation. If it is built-in, leave 3/16” at both sides, 1/16” at the top and 2” at the rear. Be sure that airflow under the appliance is not blocked.
• Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level your appliance, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom.
• Locate the appliance 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 unit not to perform properly.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
• Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly installed and 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 and authorized products service center.

OPERATION

• The appliance should be placed where the ambient temperature is between 10~38°C (50~100°F). If the ambient temperature is above or below this range, the performance of the unit may be affected. Placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate.
• Connect power cord to a properly grounded outlet.
• This appliance is equipped with Memory IC – should there be a power interruption, unit will auto recover at last setting.

Control Panel

ON/OFF Power
To turn the appliance on or off, press and hold the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds.
Setting the temperature Control

• Adjustable temperature: 1°C to 20°C (34°F to 68°F)
• Set the desired cooling temperature by pressing the corresponding button . Each depression of the buttons will raise or lower the temperature setting by 1 degree. The temperature selected will flash in the LED display for approximately 5 seconds, then revert back to displaying the temperature of the cabinet interior.

°C/°F
This unit has the option of displaying temperatures in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. To change the setting, press the °C/°F button.
NOTES:

• If the unit is unplugged, turned off or experienced a power failure, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the appliance will not start.
• When you use the appliance for the first time, or restart after having been shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the set temperature and the displayed temperature on the LED readout. This is normal and is due to the length of inactivity. Once the unit runs for a few hours, everything will be back to normal.

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 by 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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning Your Appliance

1. Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves and racks.
2. Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should consist of about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
3. Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
4. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area of the controls or any electrical parts.
5. Wash the exterior of the cooler with a warm solution of mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

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 your power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your contents.

Vacation Time

• 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.

Transporting Your Appliance
If you need to move your appliance once the box has been discarded:

1. Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
2. Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
3. Tape the door shut.
4. 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.
