Installation Instructions
Before Using Your Wine Cooler
- Remove the exterior and interior packing.
- Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. (Cleaning instruction on page 6)
Installing Your Wine Cooler
- This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
- Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the wine cooler, which allows the proper air ventilation. Adjust the legs to keep the wine cooler level.
- Locate the wine cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. If the ambient temperature is higher than 80°F or lower than 55°F it will hinder the performance of this appliance. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation.
- Avoid locating the wine cooler in moist areas.
- Plug the wine cooler into dedicated, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center. This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV or used with an inverter.
- After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 3 ~ 4 hours before placing wine bottles in the wine cooler.
Electrical Connection
⚠ WARNING Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.
- This wine cooler should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this wine cooler is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
- Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
- This wine cooler requires a standard 100-120 Volt A.C. / 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
- This wine cooler is not designed to be used with an inverter.
- The cord should be secured behind the wine cooler and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
- Never unplug the wine cooler by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
- Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can negatively affect the performance of the unit.
If any problems with the appliance persist, please contact the Customer Service Dept. to consult with a representative at 888 775-0202 or visit the website to request warranty service at www.mcappliance.com.
Operating Your Wine Cooler
- LIGHT BUTTON: To manually illuminate/extinguish the interior light
- TEMPERATURE ADJUSTING KNOB ( HIGH ): Increase Temperature
- TEMPERATURE ADJUSTING KNOB ( LOW ): Decrease Temperature
Temperature Control
The lead-time to achieve the pre-set temperature depends on the nature and quantity of the object placed inside the cavity.
The temperature range can be set as low as 46°F or as high as 66°F to suit your specific storage requirements. You can adjust the desired temperature by adjusting the temperature adjust knob.
The actual cabinet temperature in thermal electric units is dependent on the ambient room temperature. Thus, the unit may not reach the desired preset temperature. For example, when the ambient temperature is 77°F, the lowest cabinet temperature that the wine cooler can reach is approximately 50°F. When the ambient temperature is 82°F, the cabinet temperature can reach approximately 55°F.
In the event of a power failure or interruption, all modified settings will be lost.

Troubleshooting Guide
You can solve many common wine cooler problems easily, saving you the cost of a possible service call. Try the suggestions below to see if you can solve the problem before calling for service.
| PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE |
|---|---|
| Wine cooler does not operate. | Not plugged in. Make sure the wall socket is functional by testing another electrical appliance in the power socket. The circuit breaker tripped or a blown fuse. |
| Temperature inside the wine cooler is too warm. | Door is kept open too long or is opened too frequently. Warm air enters the wine cooler every time the door is opened. Open the door less often. The door is not closed completely. The door gasket does not seal properly. The wine cooler has recently been disconnected for a period of time. Temperature control is set too warm. Allow at least 24 hours for the internal temperature to adjust properly. *The interior temperature can be set between 46°F (8°C) and 66°F (18°C) only at the room temperature of 77°F (25°C). To achieve accurate temperature control, the unit should not be used or operated in any of the following locations:
|
| Temperature inside the wine cooler is too cold. | Temperature control is set too cold. Turn the control to a warmer setting and allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize. |
| Vibrations. | Check to assure that the wine cooler is on a level surface. The wine cooler is touching the wall. Re-level the wine cooler and move it from the wall. If continued vibration occurs, unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Contact Customer Service Dept. for further assistance. |
| Moisture forms on inside wine cooler walls. | Door is slightly open. Door is kept open too long, or is opened too frequently. Open the door less often. The door is not sealed properly. |
| The door will not close properly. | The wine cooler is not on a level surface. The gasket is dirty. The racks are out of position |
| Fan is always running. | This is simply a function of the cooling system. The lower the temperature setting, the more the fan will run. If the room is warmer than 77°F (25°C), it will run more. |
| There is a puddle of water under/around the wine cooler. | This wine cooler features a self-evaporation system. An external drip tray is therefore not required for accumulating condensation. If water forms under/around the wine cooler, the humidity level in the room is too high. Either try to lower the humidity level in the room (using, for example, a dehumidifier) or place the wine cooler in an another room. |
| General Statements | The unit does not use any CFC's. There is no compressor inside this unit. The cooling system is called a Peltier System. |
