Setup

Proper setup ensures optimal performance and longevity of your wine cooler.

1. Unpacking:

1. Carefully remove all packaging materials.
2. Inspect the appliance for any shipping damage. If damaged, do not plug it in and contact your retailer.
3. Remove any protective films or tapes from the surfaces.

2. Placement:

• Place the wine cooler on a firm, level surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., ovens, radiators).
• Ensure adequate air circulation around the unit. Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space at the back and sides for proper ventilation.
• Avoid placing the unit in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations.

3. Initial Power-On:

1. After placement, wait at least 2 hours before plugging the unit into a power outlet. This allows any refrigerants to settle.

3. The display will light up, and the unit will begin to cool. Allow the unit to run empty for 2-3 hours to reach the desired temperature before loading bottles.
