For AWC154BV:

1. Fully extend the shelf you wish to remove.

2. Pull the shelf towards you until the buckle is released.

3. Holding the shelf track with both hands, push the shelf up horizontally.

For AWCD160BV:

1. Pull the shelf approximately 1/2 way out of the rail compartment.

2. Remove all items from the shelf first.

3. Move the shelf to the position where the notch of the shelf is exactly under the plastic post on the side of the track.

4. Lift the shelf to remove it.

• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with bottles and accessible drainage systems.

• Clean water tanks if they have not been used for 48 h; flush the water system connected to a water supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days.

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power will be off for a long period, take proper steps to protect your contents (e.g., move to another cooler if possible). The unit has a temperature memory function and will return to the last set temperature once power is restored.

• Short vacations (less than three weeks): Leave the Wine Cooler operating.

• Long vacations (several months): Remove all items, turn off the Wine Cooler. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly (blocking it open if necessary).

• Remove all items.

• Take out loose items inside (like shelves) or fix them securely with foam.

• Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.

• Tape the door shut.

• Ensure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation.

• Protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.

The Wine Cooler should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances, and out of direct sunlight. Ensure doors are closing and sealing properly. Install with sufficient ventilation.

• Your Wine Cooler is designed to store a maximum number of bottles securely. Observe these tips:

• Remove tape from shelves once the unit is stable.

• Disperse bottles evenly to avoid concentrating weight. Bottles must not touch the back of the cabinet or the step at the bottom.

• Storing large format bottles (like Pinot Noir, Champagne) will reduce the number of bottles per shelf.

• Ensure bottles are not all grouped at the top or bottom.

• Dispersing bottles evenly contributes to optimal cooling.

• Store wine in sealed bottles.

• Do not overload the cabinet.

• Do not cover shelves with aluminum foil or other material which may prevent air circulation.

• Only pull out one rolling shelf at a time. Never attempt to pull more than one.

• Maximum weight capacity per shelf is 25 kilograms.

All appliances are designed with LED light. If the LED light is damaged, please contact your after-sales service to replace it.
