Setup
Unpacking and Placement
Carefully remove all packaging materials. This wine cooler is designed for freestanding or under-counter placement. It is not recommended for built-in installation. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. Allow at least 2-3 inches of space on the sides and back for proper air circulation. Place the unit on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Leveling the Appliance
The wine cooler is equipped with adjustable feet. Use a level to ensure the appliance is perfectly level. Adjust the feet by turning them clockwise or counter-clockwise until the unit is stable and level. Proper leveling is crucial for efficient operation and to prevent vibrations.
Initial Power-On
After placing the unit, allow it to stand upright for 24-36 hours before plugging it into a power outlet. This allows the refrigerant to settle, optimizing cooling performance and preventing damage to the compressor.
Handle Installation (if applicable)
If your model requires handle installation, align the handle with the pre-drilled holes on the door. You may need to gently push aside or temporarily remove the door gasket to access the screw holes. Secure the handle with the provided screws. Ensure the gasket is properly seated after installation to maintain a secure seal.

Temperature Adjustment
Use the "+" and "-" buttons on the control panel to set your desired temperature. The temperature range is 38-65°F (3-18°C). Each press adjusts the temperature by 1°F. The digital display will show the set temperature, then revert to the actual internal temperature.

Press the "°F/°C" button to switch the temperature display between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
LED Light Control

Electronic Safety Lock

Power Failure Memory
In the event of a power outage, the wine cooler's power failure memory function will restore the previous temperature setting once power is re-established, preventing wine flavor changes due to temperature fluctuations.
Shelf Adjustment and Bottle Storage
The wine cooler includes 4 removable wire shelves. These shelves can be adjusted or removed to accommodate various bottle sizes and quantities. The unit can store at least 20 standard 750ml Bordeaux bottles. For optimal storage, ensure bottles are placed securely to prevent rolling.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Wine Cooler
