Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

• Read all instructions before using the Cooler.
• DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment. Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous even if they will "just sit in the garage a few days".
• Before you throw away your old Cooler: Take off the door. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
• Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance.
• Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the Cooler or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions. Replace the fuse with the same type.

Installing the Stainless Steel Handle

For PKTWEC08, PKTWEC12, PKTWEC18, PKTEWCDS1805, and PKTECC40 Models only

This wine cellar includes a stainless steel handle. To install the handle please follow the below instructions:

1. Pull away the door gasket in the area where the handle is to be installed on the left side. The gasket can easily be displaced by hand, no tools are necessary.
2. Align the handle with the screws installed. Tighten the screws using a Phillips head screwdriver until the handle sets both flush and secured tightly against the door frame. (DO NOT over tighten as this will cause damage to the handle assembly).
3. Replace the door gasket to its original position.

Illustration Reference:

The illustration shows the components involved: Gasket (1), Phillips Head Screw Driver (2), Phillips Head Screw (3), and Handle (4).

Temperature Control

Ambient Temperature Recommendation

It is recommended that the wine cooler should be installed in an area where the ambient temperature is between 10-26°C (50-80°F).

If the ambient temperature is above or below the recommended ranges, the unit's performance may be affected, and extreme cold or hot conditions may cause the interior temperature to fluctuate. This will prevent the optimal range from being reached. In addition, keep in mind that the temperature may fluctuate depending on whether the interior light is on or off, and whether the bottles are located on the upper, middle, or lower racks.

Note:

• When you use the wine cooler for the first time or restart the wine cooler after having been shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LCD readout.

Instruction and Placement

Notes on Placement

• Position your wine cooler so that the plug is accessible.
• Keep your wine cooler out of direct sunlight.
• Do not place next to a heat generating appliance.
• Place the wine cooler on a leveled surface that is strong enough to support the unit when it is fully loaded. To level your wine cooler, adjust the front feet located at the bottom of the unit.

Important Placement Considerations

• Position the cooler in a dry and airy place with ambient temperature between 16-26°C (60-80°F).
• Before connecting the unit to a power source, allow it to stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of any system malfunctions which may have occurred from handling during transportation.
• When positioning the wine cooler, 6 inches of space at the back and 10 inches of space on both sides are suggested. Do not put any objects on top of the unit which may block the air circulation.

Power Connection

• This wine cooler should be properly grounded for your safety and in order to minimize the possibility of electrical shock. The power cord of this unit is equipped with a 3-pin plug which fits with 3-pin wall outlets.
• Never cut or remove the ground wire from the supplied power cord.
• The use of extension cords is not recommended.
• This unit requires a standard 110V-60Hz electrical outlet with a 3-pin plug.
• The cord should be secured behind the wine cooler. Also, to prevent accidental injury, do not expose or dangle the cord.

Ventilation

• Do not install the wine cooler in a closed cabinet without proper ventilation.
• Please leave at least 6 inches distance between the wall and the wine cooler.
• Do not remove the feet of the wine cooler. Keep at least 50mm of ground clearance.

Cleaning

• UNPLUG the Wine Chiller, and remove all items including shelves.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
