IMPORTANT: • Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet. • Never unplug the unit by pulling on the plug. Normal Sounds Your new wine cooler may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.  Humming noises may come from the inner and outer fans that are continuously running.  A low-pitched fan noise from the inner and outer fans is normal. Defrosting This wine cooler does NOT have an automatic defrost feature. Therefore, in a colder environment and settings, frost may build up frequently. Additionally, the more humid the ambient conditions, the more frost may build up. Keep the door closed as much as possible and avoid opening the door unnecessarily to minimize frost build-up. If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need to power the unit off until the frost melts. Use a soft absorbent towel to dry the unit. The unit has a built-in water pan that collets the condensate. The water pan is not removable. WARNING: Never attempt to remove frost with a sharp object! Preparing the Wine Cooler for Storage If the wine cooler will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it will be necessary to defrost the unit and dry the interior. 1. Disconnect the cooler from the power supply by removing the power plug from the wall socket. 2. Leave the door open to allow for air circulation and to prevent mold, mildew and unpleasant smells. CAUTION: Store the unit out of the reach of children. If you have children, you may want to take additional precautions such as removing the door to prevent a child from being trapped inside the cooler! Thermoelectric Wine Cooler 6
