VINOTEMP EL-40WCST SINGLE ZONE WINE COOLER

You may adjust the shelves of your wine cooler to accommodate more or less bottles.

If stacking bottles 2-3 high,please do not pull out the shelves.

EL-40WCST:Depending on how the bottles are placed,

you can store approximately 40 bottles of wines.

INSTALLATION

Remove all packing material before using your

cooler.

IMPORTANT

: Before connecting the unit to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately 24 hours.

This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

This unit is designed for freestanding or built in installation but indoor use only. Position the unit in a dry and

well-ventilated place. Avoid placing the wine cooler near any source of heat or moisture, or in direct

sunlight. Do NOT install the unit in a location with an ambient temperature that will fall below 41°F.

For built-in installation, leave a 1/4” (6.35mm) space on each side and at the top of the wine

cooler to ensure proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. Also, be sure to not obstruct

the front exhaust vent with any objects as this may affect the unit from performing properly.

For freestanding installation, leave 6” of space at the back, 10-12” of space on each side, and unlimited

clearance at the top of the beverage cooler are suggested to ensure proper air circulation to cool the

compressor and condenser. Do not place underneath a table, counter top, or anything of the sort as this will

not allow for proper air circulation.

Do not slide the unit into place.

Place the cooler on a level surface strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level the

cooler, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom of the cooler.

For best performance it is recommended that you install the appliance in a location with an ambient

temperature between 41-100°F. If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures,

the performance of the unit may be affected.

Plug the cooler into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet.

INSTALLING THE STAINLESS STEEL HANDLE

This cooler includes a stainless steel handle that is not required to operate this unit. To install

the handle please follow the below instructions:

①Pull away the door gasket in the area where the handle is to

be installed. You can see two designated holes for handle

installation. The gasket is easily displaced by hand, no tools

are necessary.

②Install the handle tightly as shown below with the two

screws, lock washers and flat washers provided. (DO NOT

over tighten as this will cause damage to the handle assembly

and stainless steel surface of the glass door).

③Replace the door gasket to its original position.

INSTALLING THE CHARCOAL FILTER

To install the charcoal filter, please follow the below instructions:



Place the carbon filter on top the wooden shelf.



The back of the filter has a 3M glue tape which you can

affix to the shelf or the inside of the unit.

OPERATING YOUR WINE COOLER

wine

The wine cooler should be placed in a position where the ambient temperature is between 5-38°C/41-100°F.

Humidity level is between 45 -90%. If the position is above or below this range, the performance of the

unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior

temperature to fluctuate.

NOTE:

lWhen you use the cooler for the first time or restart the cooler after having been

shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the

one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and it is due to the length of the activation time. Once the

beverage cooler is running for a few hours everything will be back to normal.

lIf the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit.

If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the cooler will not start.
