Components

Notes:

• For your cooler to operate normally, avoid placing it in areas with high magnetic fields or high humidity.
• When you put a lot of wine bottles in the cooler at one time, the temperature in the cooler may rise temporarily.
• To prolong the service life of the compressor, wait for at least five minutes before plugging the unit back in, after unplugging it.

Control and display panels (both)

Notes:

• Touch the control panel lightly when pressing the keys.
• To avoid scratching the control panel, do not touch it with sharp objects.

Setting up your wine cooler

Before using your cooler

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Let the cooler stand upright for approximately four hours before connecting it to power. This reduces the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

Finding a suitable location

• This cooler is designed to be built-in or free standing.
• Place your cooler on a floor, countertop, or cabinet that is strong enough to support the cooler when it is fully loaded.
• Locate the cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, and so on). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Ambient temperature below 68° F (20° C) or above 90° F (32° C) will hinder the performance of this cooler. This cooler is not designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation.
• Avoid locating the cooler in moist areas.
• This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV or used with an inverter.
• Do not stack beverage coolers.

Building in your wine cooler

The cutout dimensions shown in the following graphic allow the door to swing open and provides access to the pull-out shelves when installed as a built-in unit.

If you are installing the unit between frameless cabinets, a ½” wide filler strip or side panel may be needed on the hinge side. The filler strip will act as a spacer between the appliance case and the adjacent cabinet door swing. The width of the opening must include the filler panels. The door should extend at least one inch beyond the surrounding cabinets.

Leveling your cooler

• It is very important for the cooler to be level in order to function properly. If the cooler is not leveled during installation, the door may not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
• To level your cooler, you may either turn the leveling foot clockwise to raise that side to the cooler or turn it counter-clockwise to lower that side.

Grounding requirement

This cooler must be grounded. This cooler is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the cooler is properly grounded.

WARNINGS:

• Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the supplied power cord.

Connecting to power

1. Plug the appliance into a dedicated, properly installed grounded wall outlet. This appliance should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other operating appliances. 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 service center.                                                                               CAUTION: This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV or used with an inverter.

2. Plug in and run your cooler for three to four hours before making any temperature adjustments and before adding wine. This allows your cooler to reach a stable temperature. Notes:
   • Check your local power source. This cooler requires a 110 V-120 V, 60 Hz power supply.
   • Use a receptacle that accepts the grounding prong. The power cord is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this cooler.

3. Do not use an extension cord with this cooler. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the cooler. Use of an extension cord can negatively affect the cooler’s performance.

Using your wine and beverage center

Turning on your cooler

Setting the temperature

Under normal conditions, the temperature always shows the set temperature. When adjusting the temperature, the temperature display blinks to indicate that the temperature is being adjusted.

The temperature in the left and right zones can be set independently by using the control panel located in each zone. The temperature range of both zones can be set between 37° F to 64° F (3° C to 18° C) ± 5° F (± 3° C).

After you have adjusted the left and/or right zone to the temperature you want, release the button. The temperature display will blink for approximately three seconds to confirm the selected temperature. After the display stops blinking, the temperature display will indicate the set temperature of that zone.

Notes:

• A large number of bottles will lower the cooling efficiency of the cooler.
• Adjust the thermostat setting by one increment at a time. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize between adjustments.

Changing the temperature display

Understanding the dual temperature zones

There are two temperature zones in this appliance. They are divided by a partition.

• Each zone has its own independent temperature control and display.
• Each zone can be used to store wine bottles or beverage cans.
• Each zone can hold up to 21 bottles or 57 cans.

The temperature range in both zones is 37° F to 64° F (3° C to 18° C) ± 5° F (± 3° C).

Lighting your cooler

Memory function

If you experience a power outage while your cooler is on, when the power is restored, your cooler resumes the same temperature that was set when the power went off.

Using the wine shelves

• All of the shelves have tabs to engage the cabinet on both sides.
• All of the shelves can be removed to accommodate larger bottles.
•  The shelves can be interchanged (wooden or chrome) depending on whether you want to store wine bottles (wooden) or beverage cans (chrome).

To remove a shelf

1. Remove all bottles from the shelves.
2. Lift the shelf upward and then gently pull out the shelf.

To replace a shelf

• Place the sides of the shelf back onto the supporting guides of the cabinet and push back until the shelf tabs slide into place.

CAUTION: Make sure that the tabs are firmly engaged in the supporting guides before storing any bottles.

Locking your cooler

Both doors of your cooler can be locked with a key (a separate lock for each side, located at the bottom of each door). The keys come prepackaged inside the cooler.

Serving and storage tips

We suggest that you pour wine at a temperature below the ideal serving temperature, because the wine warms up quickly after it’s been poured into a glass.

• Strong beers (like barleywines, tripels, dark ales) will be their happiest at room temperature (55-60° F or 12.8-15.5° C). Most of your standard ales (like bitters, IPAs, dobbelbocks, lambics, stouts, etc.) should be at cellar temperature (50-55° F or 10-12.8° C). Lighter beers (like lagers, pilsners, wheat beers, milds, etc.) should be at a refrigerated temperature (45-50° F or 7.2-10° C).
• In order to maintain good air circulation in the cooler, do not let the bottles touch the back of the cooler.
• Do not store bottled wine by the box or case in the cooler.
• The cork of an opened bottle should always be moistened when returning it to the bottle.
• Red wine should be allowed to breath (oxygenate) before drinking. We suggest that you put pink/rose type wines onto the table two to five hours before drinking and red wine four to five hours before drinking. That also allows them to reach the suitable serving temperature. White wine, on the other hand, can be served right away.
• Champagne should always be stored in the cooler and taken out immediately before drinking.

Maintaining your wine cooler

Your cooler is designed for year-round use with only minimal cleaning and maintenance.

When you first receive it, wipe the cabinet with a mild detergent and warm water, then wipe dry with a dry cloth. Do this periodically to keep your cooler looking new.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the finish, do not use:

• Gasoline, benzine, thinner, or other similar solvents.
• Abrasive cleaners.

Cleaning the interior of your cooler:

1. Turn off the cooler and unplug it from the wall outlet.
2. Remove all wine/beverages.
3. Wash the inside with a warm, damp cloth soaked in a solution of one quart of lukewarm water and two tablespoons of baking soda.
4. Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.
5. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.

Defrosting your cooler

Storing your cooler

1. Turn off the cooler and unplug it from the wall outlet.
2. Remove all wine/beverages.
3. Clean the cooler.
4. Leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odor.

CAUTION: Use extreme caution with children. The unit should not be accessible to child’s play.

Moving your wine cooler

• Turn off the cooler and unplug it from the wall outlet.
• Remove all wine/beverages.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your cooler.
• Tape the door shut.

Make sure that the cooler stays in the upright position during transportation.

Tips on saving energy

• Locate your cooler in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts and out of the direct sunlight.
• Overloading the cooler forces the compressor to run longer.
• Do not open the door too often, especially if the weather is very hot. Close the door as soon as possible to prevent cool air from escaping.
• Make sure that the appliance is sufficiently ventilated, with adequate air circulation behind it.

Troubleshooting

CAUTION: Do not try to repair your cooler yourself. Doing so invalidates the warranty.
