Important Safety Instructions

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE UNIT

1. Read all of the instructions before using this appliance.
2. This wine cellar must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the installation section.
3. Never unplug your wine cellar by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
4. Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the connector end.
5. Unplug your wine cellar before cleaning or before making any repairs. NOTE: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly recommend that a certified technician performs the service.
6. If your wine cellar is not being used, it is recommended that you remove the door and leave the shelves in place. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
7. This wine cellar should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.
8. Do not operate your wine cellar in the presence of explosive fumes.
9. Do not store foods in the wine cellar as the interior temperature may not be cool enough to prevent spoilage.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer, take off the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Grounding Instructions

Electrical Requirements

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The cord provided with this appliance is equipped with a grounding wire and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Avoid the use of three prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding prong in order to accommodate a two prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may result in shock hazard.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if:

1. The grounding instructions are not completely understood.
2. You are unsure that the appliance is properly grounded.
3. You have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions.

Power Supply Cord

1. Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions. Have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
2. If it is absolutely necessary to use longer cord sets or an extension cord, extreme care must be exercised.
   • Use only a grounding type 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
   • The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord must equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

NOTE: Neither W Appliance nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the product or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.

Installation Guide

1. Unpack your wine cellar by removing all packaging materials like carton, base, foams, adhesive tape, etc.
2. Remove all accessories, internal packaging material used to hold shelves, ice tray, etc. in place.
3. Clean the remains of all adhesive tape used and remove all printed material supplied.
4. Install the wine cellar in a convenient location away from extreme heat and cold. Allow sufficient clearance between the wine cellar and side wall so the door(s) will open without obstruction. Wine cellar is not designed for recessed or built-in installation.
5. The floor on which the wine cellar should be placed must be flat, hard, solid, and even. The wine cellar should not be placed on any soft material such as foam, plastic, etc.
6. To level your wine cellar, use the two leveling legs located on the bottom front of your wine cellar. Adjust by turning the legs counter clockwise to raise or clockwise to lower your wine cellar. The door will close easier if the leveling legs are extended.
7. The following are recommended minimum clearances around the wine cellar for proper air circulation:
   • Sides: 2" (50mm)
   • Top: 4" (100mm)
   • Back: 2" (50mm)
   Proper air circulation will help your wine cellar work at maximum efficiency.

NOTE: Allow enough space in the front of the unit to open the door to at least 120°.

Operation Guide

1. Plug in the wine cooler to power the unit on.
2. You may choose a temperature setting for your wine cooler within the range of 46° to 66° Fahrenheit or 54° to 66° Fahrenheit based on the model you purchased (Refer to pages 5 and 6). The temperature of your wine cooler can be set by pressing the up arrow temperature pad on the exterior of the glass door to raise the temperature. By pressing the down arrow temperature pad on the exterior of the glass door you can lower the temperature.

Control Panel Diagram Description: Shows controls on the exterior of the glass door. Labels point to: Temperature Display, Warmer Setting, Interior Light Switch, Colder Setting.

Please note that the actual interior cabinet temperature in a thermal electric unit is dependent on the ambient (room) temperature. You may set the cabinet temperature within the operational range but due to high ambient temperature, the unit may not reach the selected temperature. As an example, when the ambient temperature is 77°F, the lowest interior cabinet temperature that can be reached is 50-52°F. When the ambient temperature is 72°F, the lowest interior cabinet temperature that can be reached is 46-48°F.

NOTE: When the ambient (room) temperature is below the set temperature, the wine cooler will not operate until the ambient temperature increases higher than the set temperature.

3. Allow the wine cooler to operate empty for approximately one hour. This should allow the unit to reach the desired temperature.
4. Fill the wine cooler with your choice of wine bottles. Allow 1-2 hours of operation to reach the desired temperature.
5. Your wine cooler has a light to display your wine bottles. The manually operated light switch is located on the underside of the temperature control assembly located in the upper right hand corner of the interior of your unit.

Benefits of Thermal Electric Cooling

Thermal Electric or semiconductor technology is an environmentally friendly cooling process which does not use any CFC, HCFC or HCF-type of refrigerants which are harmful to the environment. The absence of a compressor reduces the noise and vibration usually associated with refrigerated appliances.

Cleaning & Care

Cleaning and Maintenance

Warning: To avoid electric shock, always unplug your wine cellar before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury.

Caution: Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer's instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.

General Cleaning

• Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with warm water. Use a sponge or soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution to wipe down your wine cellar.
• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrate detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. SOME of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and / or discolor your wine cellar.

Power Interruptions

Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the power cord from AC outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been restored, replug power cord to AC outlet.

Vacation and Moving Care

For long vacations or absences, unplug the unit, empty contents from the wine cellar and clean the wine cellar and door gaskets according to the “General Cleaning” section. Prop doors open, so air can circulate inside. When moving, always move the wine cellar vertically. Do not move the unit lying on its side.
