4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove the wine cooler from its packaging. Remove all packing materials, including foam and tape. Inspect the unit for any damage incurred during shipping. If damage is found, do not operate the unit and contact customer support.
4.2 Placement
Place the wine cooler on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., ovens, radiators). Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit. A minimum of 10 cm (4 inches) clearance should be maintained on the sides and back for proper air circulation. The compact design allows it to fit under countertops or on desks.
This image illustrates the compact size of the wine cooler, measuring 39.3 cm in height, 26.5 cm in width, and 51.5 cm in depth, making it suitable for various spaces while accommodating 6 standard 750ml wine bottles.
4.3 Leveling
The wine cooler is equipped with adjustable feet. Use a spirit level to ensure the unit is perfectly level. Adjust the feet by turning them clockwise or counter-clockwise until the unit is stable and level. This helps ensure proper door sealing and efficient operation.
4.4 Initial Power-On
After placement and leveling, wait at least 2 hours before plugging the unit into a power outlet. This allows the cooling system fluids to settle. Once plugged in, the unit will begin to cool. Allow it to run for several hours empty to reach the desired temperature before loading bottles.
5. Operating Instructions
