Warning: Risk of fire/ flammable materials

Before Using Your Wine Cooler

• Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
• Before connecting the wine cooler to power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
• When installing the free-standing wine cooler, ensure there is at least 50 mm clearance on each side and at least 100 mm clearance on the back, as this is the main exit of hot air, to leave sufficient ventilation.

Shelf Usage

• To prevent damage to the door seal, ensure that the door is fully open before pulling out the shelves to add or remove bottles.
• For easier access to the contents of the shelves, slide the shelf out approximately one third of the way. The shelves are fitted with a stop to prevent bottles falling out.
• To remove or reposition the shelves, incline the shelf as indicated in the diagram, then push or pull as required.

Operation Panel (Single Zone)

The temperature of the single-temperature wine cabinet can be set between 5-20°C. Different temperatures can be set according to different wines. It is generally considered that 13-18°C is suitable for storing red wine, and 8-12°C is more suitable for white wine. Store champagne at 5-7°C.

Control Panel Functions:

• Power on/off: The machine turns on automatically when connected to power. Press the button for 3 seconds to turn off and enter standby mode (display goes out). Press again for 3 seconds to turn on.
• LED light on/off: Touch this button to control the LED light.
• Incremental temperature setting key: Touch this key to increase the temperature setting.
• Temperature decrement setting key: Touch this key to decrease the temperature setting.
• Celsius/Fahrenheit switching function: Press the temperature up and temperature down keys simultaneously for 3 seconds to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
• Child lock function: Press the power and temperature down keys simultaneously for 3 seconds to lock all buttons. Press them again for 3 seconds to unlock.

Functions of each key in the operation panel:

• Light switch key: Touch this button to control the LED light switch ON/OFF.
• °C/°F Switch key: Touch this button to control the switch between °C and °F.
• Temperature setting key: Press this button to set the temperature. Pressing it once flashes the upper room temperature display, allowing adjustment with the up/down buttons. Pressing it again flashes the lower room temperature display for adjustment. Pressing it a third time stops flashing and displays the current temperatures for both zones. The display returns to normal after 5 seconds of inactivity.
• Upper zone temperature setting / temperature display: The LED display shows the upper zone setting temperature when flashing, and the actual cabinet temperature when normal.
• Temperature measurement unit display: Indicates the unit of temperature measurement (°C or °F).
• Lower zone temperature setting / temperature display: The LED display shows the lower zone setting temperature when flashing, and the actual cabinet temperature when normal.

Automatic Storage Memory: The setting temperature is memorized automatically even when the power is off. The setting temperature is the same as the last setting when the wine cooler is running again.

Defrosting

Wine coolers are designed with an automatic defrost function to regularly remove frost from the evaporator surface. This ensures efficient operation. When the machine runs for a period, it will automatically enter the defrosting state. During defrosting, the compressor stops, but the cooling fan continues to run. The internal temperature may rise slightly, which is normal. After defrosting, cooling will resume, and the temperature will gradually drop to the set point.

Points of Intentions

1. The vent grill outside the cabinet is for heat dissipation. Prevent anything from covering or blocking it, as this can cause overheating and damage.
2. Prevent blocking the cooling fan, as this can lead to high or uneven temperatures.
3. Close the door tightly to ensure efficient refrigeration and prevent abnormal temperatures.
4. If the wine cooler is not used for a long time, shut off the power, open the door, and let the cabinet dry thoroughly.
5. This product is not suitable for areas with an altitude of 2000 meters.

Product Parameters

Layout And Storage

Your cabinet was designed to store a maximum number of bottles securely. Observe these tips to optimize loading:

• Remove tape from shelves once the unit is stable and ready for storage.
• Disperse bottles evenly to avoid concentrating weight in one place. Bottles must not touch the back of the cabinet.
• Ensure bottles are not grouped together at the top or bottom of the cabinet.
• Only pull out one shelf at a time. Never attempt to pull more than one.
• Maximum weight capacity per shelf is 55lbs.
• Increase storage capacity by removing shelves and stacking bottles on top of one another. Do not stack more than 3 rows of bottles per shelf.

Care Maintenance

Cleaning your wine cooler

• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves and racks.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution (about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a pint of water).
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning any area of the controls.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

Power Failure

• Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature if you minimize door openings. If the power is off for a longer period, take other measures to protect contents.
• If the unit is unplugged, loses power, or is turned off, wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting. Attempting to restart too soon may prevent the wine cooler from starting.

Vacation Time

• Short holidays: You may leave the Wine Cooler powered on and unattended for absences of less than three weeks.
• Long absences: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items, turn off the appliance, and unplug it. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.

Moving Your Wine Cooler

• Remove all items.
• Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
• Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Ensure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Protect the outside with a blanket or similar item.

Energy Saving Tips

• Locate the Wine Cooler in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances and direct sunlight.
• Ensure the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.
• Only open the door for as long as necessary.

Troubleshooting Guide

Many common issues with your wine cooler can be solved easily. Try the troubleshooting tips below:

Fault Code

Wine Cooler Surface Condensation

Condensation is a natural phenomenon, especially in high temperature and high humidity environments. Moisture in the air condenses on the cool surfaces of the wine cooler, including the box shell and glass door. This is normal. When the relative humidity exceeds 80%, bead condensation may appear on the glass door surface. You can wipe off condensation with a soft cloth. The phenomenon will disappear naturally as ambient temperature or humidity reduces and does not affect performance.

To reduce condensation, please pay attention to the following:

• In summer or rainy seasons, often use a soft cloth to wipe the glass door surface.
• Place the wine cooler in a location with better ventilation.

Warranty

The warranty does not apply to damage resulting from abuse, accident, natural disaster, loss of electrical power to the product for any reason, alteration, outdoor use, improper installation, and improper operation, repair or service of the product by anyone other than an authorized service agency or representative.
