INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

 

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE  

 

Remove the exterior and interior packing. 

 

Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. 

 

INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE 

 

 

Please note that this is a freestanding appliance and should not be placed into a built-in space 

 

WARNING

: Do not store or install the appliance outdoors. 

 

CAUTION

This appliance is designed for storing and cooling beverage or wines. Do not store per-

ishable food, medicine or other medical products. 

 

Place your appliance on a hard and level floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully 
loaded.  

 

To level your appliance, adjust the leveling legs at the bottom of the appliance if needed. 

 

When positioning this freestanding wine cooler, ensure that there is at least a 4” clearance at the 
sides and a 6” clearance at the back. Please note that this is a freestanding appliance and should 
not be placed into a built-in space. Even with the recommended clearance, there may not be ade-
quate airflow  

 

We do not recommend installing the appliance on carpet. 

 

Do not install the appliance near an oven or other heating source. Direct sunlight may affect the 
acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. For best performance, do not 
install the appliance behind a cabinet door or block the base grille. Extreme cold ambient tempera-
tures may also cause the appliance not to perform properly. 

 

Avoid locating the appliance in area that may be exposed to excessive moisture. 

 

Plug in the appliance into an exclusive, grounded wall power outlet. Do not under any circumstanc-
es cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power 
and/or grounding should be directed toward a qualified electrician or an authorized service center. 

WARNING  

To  reduce  the  risk  of  fire,  electrical  shock,  or  injury 
when  using  your  appliance,  follow  these  basic  pre-
cautions:  

 

Read all instructions before using the appliance.  

 

DANGER or WARNING: 

An empty wine cooler can be a hazardous for children or 

small pets. If disposing of the wine cooler, remove gasket seals, latches, lids or the en-
tire door from your unused appliance, or take other action to ensure the appliance  is 
harmless.  

 

Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance. 

 

Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids or harsh chemicals. 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.
