Do not plug unit into the same outlet as a refrigerator or microwave. Avoid the use of three-prong plug adapters. Do not cut off the grounding prong to accommodate a two-plug outlet; that could result in a shock hazard. NOTE: Do not place heavy objects on top of the cellar. To minimize the risk of rusting, leakage, and insulation damage, avoid placing the unit where heavy moisture is present. Under no circumstances apply or let water spill onto or into the unit. Leveling Your Wine Cellar Your wine cellar has 4 leveling legs. After properly placing your cellar in its final position, adjust the legs by turning them clockwise to raise the wine cellar or counterclockwise to lower it. We recommend tightening the back feet to the maximum and using the front feet to level the cellar. Using Your Wine Cellar Important: • Before connecting the wine cellar to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately 24 hours. This will reduce the risk of any malfunction to the cooling system that might have occurred during handling and/or transporting, and will allow the refrigerant to flow back into the compressor. • When using the wine cellar for the first time, allow at least 24 hours for the internal temperature to adjust properly. Make sure there are at least 3 to 5 bottles in the unit. Your cellar should now be on a flat surface that is strong enough to support it when fully loaded. Gently place/slide the racks into the wine cellar. Plug the power cord into a 3-prong electrical outlet and the unit will turn on automatically to the default setting (50˚F). Place bottles inside the cellar. Determine the best setting to use: Refer to the temperature guide for appropriate serving temperatures (see page 8). The unit's cooling system operates most efficiently with an ambient temperature of less than 70°F. NOTE: Remember, if using your wine cellar for the first time, allow at least 24 hours for temperature to adjust properly and make sure there are at least 3 to 5 bottles in the unit. 5
