Parts Identification Carbon Filter A built-in carbon filter protects your wine and beverages by acting as a natural barrier against harmful odors. Internal Fan This is an air-cooled unit equipped with an internal fan that maintains a consistent internal temperature.
Note: The carbon filter should be replaced every 3 - 6 months depending on the unit’s exposure level to odor. If the unit is placed in a kitchen, regular replacement every three (3) months is ideal. Tip: Gather the model and serial number from the product label and write them down before installing the wine and beverage cooler. Installing Your Wine and Beverage Refrigerator The wine and beverage refrigerator should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements.
Built-in Installation A recessed installation will allow you to install the wine and beverage cooler under a counter or in a kitchen cabinet provided the clearance space requirements around the wine and beverage cooler are followed. It is necessary to allow adequate ventilation space around the unit (make sure there is at least some ventilation room for the back of the unit). The following additional items must be observed: 1. Place the wine and beverage refrigerator in front of the installation location.
LEVELING: The wine and beverage refrigerator should be installed on a firm and level surface that will be able to support the entire weight of a fully loaded unit. It is important for the refrigerator to be leveled in order to work properly. It can be raised or lowered by rotating the plastic sheaths around each of the feet on the bottom of the machine. If you find that the surface is not level, rotate the feet until the wine and beverage refrigerator becomes level.
INSTALLING THE SHELVES: Left Zone 1. Open the door completely. 2. Push the shelf tracks affixed to the walls of the inner cabinet to the rear of the unit so that the tracks are fully seated inside the cooler compartment. 3. Line up the rails affixed to the shelf with the corresponding wine and beverage cooler tracks attached to the inner cabinet walls. 4. Push the front of the shelf inwards evenly until the shelf rests fully inside of the unit and you are able to close the door. 5.
Right Zone 1. Open the door completely. 2. Make sure the shelf is pushed back completely. 3. Lift either the left or right side of the shelf to create a 45° angle from its original position. Make sure not to lift either side of the shelf too hard as it may come in contact with the inner wall mount. 4. Pull the shelf outward until it is removed from the inner compartment. You may encounter some resistance from the shelf guard rail.
USING YOUR CONTROL PANEL: Each independently controlled temperature zone – right and left – has a temperature range of 39° F to 65° F. Each zone contains its own control panel. Power Button Press and hold this button down for three seconds to power your unit on. Once pressed, the “Run” indicator light will illuminate to indicate the unit is on and running. Press and hold this button for three seconds again and the unit will power off and the “Run” Indicator light will turn off.
Warning: Allow at least 24 hours for your wine and beverage cooler to run before storing your beverages to allow the temperature to acclimate. Whether your wine and beverage cooler can reach the actual set temperature depends on the ambient environmental conditions. Internal Light This refrigerator is equipped with top and side internal lights that can be set to a blue or white color. Because the unit comes with a glass door, the inside will be seen whether the door is open or closed.
Defrosting Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will automatically defrost under most ambient conditions. However, on colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, the more humid the ambient conditions, the more frost may build up. Keep the door closed as much as possible and avoid opening the door unnecessarily to minimize frost build-up. If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need to power the unit off until the frost melts.
Preparing Your Wine and Beverage Refrigerator for Storage If the wine and beverage 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. 1. Disconnect the cooler from the power supply by removing the power plug from the wall socket. 2. Leave the door open to allow for air circulation and to prevent mold, mildew, and unpleasant smells. 3. Once the interior is dry and clean the unit will be ready for storage.
