Electrical Connection
To ensure safety and proper operation, please follow the guidelines listed below:
Warning:
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in electrical shock. If the power cord
appears to be damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.
•
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.
Operating Your Wine Cooler
It is recommended that the wine cooler be installed in an area where the ambient temperature is between
10-26
ۦ 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 then prevent the optimal range of 10-16 ° C (50-60° F) 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.
How to Use the Buttons on the Display Panel:
The desired temperature and light can be set by pressing the buttons on the display panel. The two
buttons on the panel - “ ” and “ ” - adjust the temperature in increments of 1° C between 10-18° C
(50-66° F). You can also turn the interior light on or off by pressing the “Light” button.
