designed for built-in application.

Initial Setup

Once you have plugged the unit into an electrical outlet,

letthe unit run for at least30 minutes to acclimate itself before

making any adjustments.During this lime the Red Wine light may stay on.

Temperature Adjustments: seeFig.#1

The wine cooler is preset from the factory to automatically

accommodate temperature requirements for red or white wines.

If you store mostly white wines, pressthe 'White Wine" button and the

wine cooler will maintain an average temperature between

45" to 50" F.Pushingthe "Red Wine" buttonwill yield an

average temperature between 55" to 60" F.

The wine cooler can be set to any temperature you desire to

accommodate your wine storagerequirements. To setthe temperature,

press both the "White Wine" and "Red Wine" buttons simultaneously

and hold for approximately 3 seconds. Now you are in temperature set

mode. Decrease the temperature by pushing the "White Wine" button

and increasethe temperature by pressingthe nRedWine" button.

Pressingthe appropriate button 3 timeswill adjustthe temperature 3

degrees, press4 timesequals 4 degrees, 5 timesequals 5 degrees, and

so on. Once you have selectedthe temperature you desire, pushthe

'Light/Set" button. Now thewine cooler is programmed and the LED

readout will return to current internal temperature reading.

fig.# I

WSh Rod Ligl_

There will be a 3 degree variance +/- between the temperature you

selectand the temperature indicated on the LEDreadout.

Thisoccursbecause the wine cooler activatesand deactivates

trying to maintain your desired temperature. There is often a

1O"variance between thetop and bottom shelvesof thewine cooler.

Therefore, if you hove set the wine cooler for 50" and hove a

mix of red and white wines, you may want to put thewhite wine

on the bottom shelfwhere the temperature will be 45" F,and place the

wine on the top shelfwhere the temperature will be 55" F.
