INSTALLATION • • • • • • • • Remove all packing material before using your wine cooler. IMPORTANT: Before connecting the unit to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately 24 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. This unit is designed for freestanding or built in installation but indoor use only. Position the unit in a dry and well-ventilated place.
TEMPERATURE ZONES The wine cooler has two temperature zones with a temperature range of 40°-72°F. The recommended temperature setting for each zone is: • Lower Zone between 55°-72°F (Ideal for red and white wines) • Upper Zone between 40°-55°F (Ideal for sparkling and white wines) NOTE: The temperature set for the Lower Zone must always be the same or higher than the temperature set for the Upper Zone. For optimal performance, the set temperature of the two zones should differ by at least 4°F.
SHELVES To avoid damaging the door gasket, ensure that the door is fully opened when pulling the shelves out of the rail compartment. • The pull-out shelves allow bottles of wine to be viewed and removed more easily. Any of the extension shelves can be removed to store larger bottles. • For easy access to the storage bottles, you must pull the shelf approximately ⅓ out of the rail compartment. This unit was designed with a plastic post on each sides of the shelf track to prevent bottles from falling.
