cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
Repair or replace the power cord immediately if it becomes 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.
EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards, 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 cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical
rating of the cord is 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

Operation and Controls
It is recommended you install the appliance in a place where the ambient
temperature is between 72º- 78ºF / 23º-26ºC. If the ambient temperature is
above or below recommended temperatures, the performance of the beverage wine
refrigerator may be affected. For example, placing your appliance in extreme
cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate.
NOTE:
When using the beverage wine refrigerator for the first time or restarting
after being shut off for a long period of time, there may be a few degree
variances between the set temperature and the LED readout. This is normal due
to the length of activation time. The unit should return to normal after
running for a few hours. This unit will not raise its internal temperature if
the ambient temperature where the unit is located is lower than the set
temperature.

CABINET SHELVES
NOTE: Do not cover any part of the shelves with aluminum foil or any
other material that will prevent adequate air circulation within the cabinet.
This appliance is equipped with removable shelves. To prevent damage to the
door gasket, make sure the door is opened completely before pulling the
shelves out.
ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER
The Whynter #WR-408SB is equipped with one activated carbon filter, which
ensures optimum air quality within the wine cabinet. This filter counters and
prevents any contaminants and odors from the ambient air from affecting the
taste of the wine stored.
Replace the active carbon filter once a year. If you are interested in
purchasing an additional carbon filter, please contact
support@whynter.com for retail sales
information.
To change the filter,
- Turn the filter cover 90° clockwise or counterclockwise and then remove the filter.
- Insert the new filter in the vertical position.
- Turn the filter cover 90° clockwise or counterclockwise until it clicks into position.
NORMAL SOUNDS
The unit is cooled by a compressor. The compressor pumps coolant through the
cooling system, producing operating noise.
Even when the compressor cuts out, noises caused by changes in temperature and
pressure are unavoidable. Operating noise will be most audible immediately
after the compressor comes on. It becomes quieter as the operating period
continues.
The following noises are normal and occur from time to time:
- Gurgling sound, caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance’s coils,
- Humming noise made by the compressor. This noise can get louder for brief periods when the motor is switching on.
- Cracking/popping sounds, resulting from the materials contraction and expansion due to temperature variations,
- Fan operating sound, to circulate the air within the beverage cabinet.
- Unusual noise is normally the result of improper installation.
- Where the unit is installed in the open-plan kitchen or in partition walls, the level of operating noise will be heard more acutely. However, this is due to the surrounding architecture and not to the unit.
NOTE : An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the unit is located, as well as the specific type of models. Our appliances are in line with international standards for such appliances and in line with the latest technical developments. Please remember that the noise of the compressor and the coolant circulating in the system is unavoidable.
DEFROSTING ANDVENTILATION
Your beverage wine refrigerator is designed with an automatic defrost system.
During off-cycle, the evaporator behind the rear wall of the unit defrosts
automatically. Condensation is collected in the drain at the back of the unit
and flows through the drainage hole into the drip tray above the compressor.
The heat is transferred from the compressor and evaporates any condensation
that has collected in the drip tray. Part of the remaining water within the
beverage refrigerator is collected for humidity purposes.
NOTE: Frostmay accumulate on the evaporator of the unit is repeatedly
opened in high heat or high humidity locations. If this frost pattern doesn’t
clear within 24 hours, your unit will require manual defrosting.
Storage
Wine bottles may differ in size and dimensions so the actual number of bottles
can be stored may vary.
The 46 bottles capacity is the approximate maximum when storing traditional
750ml and includes bulk storage. You may load your wine bottles in single row
or by stacking while taking note of the following: if you do not have enough
bottles to fill your beverage wine refrigerator, it is better to distribute
the load throughout the beverage wine refrigerator to avoid “all on top” or
“all below” type loads.
- You can remove or relocate adjustable shelves to accommodate larger type of bottles (see removing shelves).
- Keep small gaps between the walls and the bottles to allow air circulation.
- Do not overload your wine refrigerator.
- Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located inside on the back panel of the beverage wine refrigerator).
- Do not try to slide the shelves outwards beyond the fixed position to prevent the bottles from falling.
- Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time as this may cause the wine refrigerator to tilt forward if not properly installed.
REMOVING SHELVES
- To remove any of the shelves from the rail compartment, move the shelf to the position where the notch of the shelf is exactly under the plastic post and then lift it up and out.
- In order to replace the shelf, repeat the steps described above in reverse. And make sure to engage the shelves with the small pegs of the extended rails when the model is equipped with a roller system.
Care and Maintenance
CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
- Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all contents from the appliance and store them in a suitable place.
- Clean the inside, the door seal and the inside of the glass with a clean, damp cloth.
- Never use detergents or other substances that emit odors.
- Always keep the door closed when cleaning the outside of the appliance. Make sure no detergent odors penetrate into the appliance.
- Clean the side panels and door surfaces with a clean and soft cloth. If necessary, use a moist cloth. Alternatively, use a microfiber cloth.
- The humidity tray should be hand-washed with water and detergent. After cleaning, always make sure the tray is thoroughly rinsed with clean water before replacing it.
PREMISES POWER FAILURE
- In the event of a power interruption, temperature settings automatically defaults to factory settings once power is restored.
- Factory default temperature setting is 54°F. To set a different desired temperature, refer to the “SETTING THE TEMPERATURE” and ” °C and °F SELECTOR” section on page 10.
- 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.
VACATION TIME
- Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than two days.
- Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for an extended period, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE
- Remove all items inside the appliance.
- Securely tape down ( we recommend using painter’s tape ) all loose items ( shelves ) inside your appliance.
- Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
- Tape ( we recommend using painter’s tape ) the door shut.
- Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation and protect the exterior of the appliance with a blanket, or similar item.
PREPARING FOR STORAGE
If the beverage wine refrigerator will not be used for a long time or is to be
moved to another place, it will be
necessary to defrost the unit and dry the interior.
- Disconnect the beverage wine refrigerator from the power supply by removing the power plug from the wall socket.
- Leave the door open to allow for air circulation and to prevent mold, mildew, and unpleasant smells.
CAUTION: Store the unit out of the reach of children. If you have children, you may want to take additional precautions such as removing the door to prevent a child from being trapped inside the beverage wine refrigerator.
NOTE:
- If the beverage wine refrigerator is unplugged, encounter power loss, or turned off; you must wait for 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the beverage wine refrigerator.
- When the beverage wine refrigerator is used for the first time or restarted after having been shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the display. This is normal and is due to the length of the inactivation time.
- The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances, and out of any direct sunlight.
- Ensure that the appliance is adequately ventilated. Never obstruct the air vents.
- Close the door tightly and do not open the appliance too frequently or for a long period of time.
- Store the content in an organized way.
- Do not overload the appliance to allow air to circulate.
