This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

– staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;

– farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;

– bed and breakfast type environments;

– catering and similar non-retail applications.

ATTENTION: If the appliance is transported in a horizontal position, the oil from the compressor may leak into the cooling circuit. For this reason, allow the appliance to rest in a vertical position for 12 hours before turning it on, so that the oil flows back into the compressor.

Remove the external packaging, remove the protective plastic film from the surface of the appliance (if used) and clean the external parts of the appliance with a cleaner designed for this purpose. Do not use steel wool or any coarse agents, which could irreparably damage the surface of the appliance.

IMPORTANT (for built-in): For built-in installation, certain clearances are necessary for optimal operation. Allow 2.5mm (1/8″) on left and right sides, 30-50mm (1″- 2 1/8″) at the rear and 5mm (1/6″) at the top to ensure proper ventilation. Take care that the air vent at the front of the appliance is never covered or blocked in any way.

The placement of the appliance must meet the requirements in the section operating conditions and must include a stable floor with a load-bearing capacity corresponding to the weight of the appliance.

Level the appliance using the adjustable feet. Ensure there is a gap between the bottom edge of the appliance and the ground, so that there is sufficient circulation of air. This will ensure the optimal performance of the cooling system.

Check whether any coolant circulation pipes have been damaged during the installation.

Use the appliance only for the purposes for which it has been designed.

The appliance must be located on a rigid and even surface. In this way you will ensure free circulation of the coolant and effective operation of your appliance.

If possible, place the appliance in a cool, well ventilated and dry room.

Do not locate the appliance in direct sunlight or in a room with a high ambient temperature, or in the vicinity of any sources of direct heat, such as a radiator or oven. This would cause the compressor to work harder, resulting in a substantially higher power consumption level.

If the interior temperature is higher than 73°F (23°C), “HI” is shown on the display panel and the buzzer alarm sounds continuously after one hour. This indicates that the inner temperature is too high, and you should look for the reason.

If the inner temperature is lower than 32°F (0°C), or for model ILBC142BV lower than 26°F (-3°C), “LO” is shown on the display panel; the alarm and the malfunction indicator light go on at the same time.

Note: If too many bottles are put in at once or the door has not been closed tightly, the unit will display the “HI” signal on the display panel. This is normal. Please wait 5 minutes after closing the door and “HI” will disappear.

It is normal that the cabinet shows “HI” or “LO” from time to time. If it occurs frequently or lasts for a long time, you can restart the unit by unplugging it, then re-plugging after 5 minutes. If the problem occurs again after restarting, please contact customer service.

Before reconnecting the power, wait 3 to 5 minutes. Otherwise you could damage your appliance. If you attempt to start the appliance before the end of this time delay, the appliance will not turn on.

If you turn on the appliance for the first time or after a restart, or after it has been out of operation for a long time, there may be a temperature difference between the temperature inside the appliance and that on the LED display. This is a normal event caused by the duration of the activation period. Leave the appliance turned on for several hours and the temperatures will stabilize during operation.

If you are storing wine for long periods of time, it should be stored at a temperature of between 10°C and 14°C (50°F and 57°F). The following drinking temperatures are recommended for the various types of wine:

Red wines: 57°F to +64°F (+14°C to +18°C)

Rosé wines: 50°F to +54°F (+10°C to +12°C)

White wines: 46°F to +54°F (+8°C to +12°C)

The wine cooler shelving suits Bordeaux Style Bottles (76.5mm diameter and 300.5mm Height).

To prevent damaging the doors or gasket seals, open the doors wide when removing the shelves. When removing any of these shelves out of the rail compartment, you must lift (from the rear) and pull it towards you. To re-install, ensure the shelf is resting securely on the support brackets and push shelf inward until it locks into place.

IMPORTANT: Do not cover the gap of glass shelves with aluminum foil or any other type of material that will prevent adequate air circulation within the cabinet.

Open the door completely.

If necessary, make sure you remove all the contents sitting on the shelf.

Pull the shelf forward until the notch aligns with the metal post on each side of the shelf track.

Lift the shelf until both notches pass through the posts.

Continue to pull the shelf forward until it is completely removed from the inner compartment.

To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure to have the door all the way opened when pulling shelves out of the rail compartment.

For easy access to the bottles, you must pull the shelves approximately 1/3 out of the rail compartment.

To remove the shelves out of the rail pull each shelf approximately 1/3 out. Use a long flat screwdriver to press down the right plastic notch and at the same time lift the left plastic notch. Then proceed to pull out the shelf slowly.

In order to guarantee the stability of the model ILWD36X, install and screw the fastening bracket correctly onto the kitchen furniture.

To ensure correct function it is important that the cabinet is level. The cabinet is supplied with legs, which can be adjusted by pliers or professional installer.

Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves and rack.

Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda with a quart of water.

Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.

Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any electrical parts.

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

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your contents.

Short vacations: Leave the Wine Cellar operating during vacations of less than three weeks.

Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent door and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.

Remove all items.

Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.

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

Tape the door shut.
