Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (220-240V, 15 amps outlet) with proper grounding
to power the wine cellar.
• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order to
accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective
grounding for the wine cellar and may result in shock hazard.
Install Limitations
• Do not install your wine cellar in any location not properly insulated or heated e.g. garage etc.
Your wine cellar was not laid to operate if the ambient temperature is below 10°C.
• Select a suitable location for the wine cellar on a hard even surface away from direct
sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor
unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front and rear bottom
corners of the wine cellar.
• Your wine cellar is designed for free-standing installation only. It is not designed for built-in
application.
Use of Extension Cord
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that
has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating
of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
Initial Setup
Once you have plugged the unit into an electrical outlet, let the unit run for at least 30 minutes
to acclimatize itself before making any adjustments. During this time, depending on the internal
temperature, the red or white wine light will stay on for the upper compartment and red or white wine
light will stay on for the lower compartment. The LED display will show the current internal temperature.
