This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures according to its climate class, which can be found on the rating plate or product label. The product may not operate properly outside the specified range.

Effective Temperature Range:

Allow over 100 mm (approximately 4 inches) of clearance from each adjacent wall and above the unit when installing the appliance. Insufficient distance can degrade freezing capability and increase electricity costs. Ensure there is adequate space for air circulation.

1. After transportation, let the cooler stand upright for more than 2 hours before plugging it in to avoid potential damage or reduced cooling capacity.
2. When first starting, allow the cooler to run for half an hour before connecting power.
3. Clean the inner chamber before putting items inside for the first time.
4. Do not connect the cooler to power supply within five minutes of unplugging it (e.g., during cleaning or a power failure) to prevent compressor damage from successive starts.
5. Note: It’s normal for water droplets or frost to form on the back wall during operation; this will melt and evaporate over time.
6. Do not connect the cooler to electronic energy-saving plugs or converters that change DC to AC (like solar energy systems or ship grids).

• Ensure bottles do not touch the back wall of the cooler to maintain good air circulation.
• The stated capacities are based on a standard bottle size (refer to Fig.1 in the PDF: approx. 305mm height, 76.1mm diameter). Oversized bottles may reduce the number of bottles that can be stored.
• Model MDRW111FGG: Recommended maximum bottling volume is 24 bottles (as shown in Fig.2 in the PDF).
• Model MDRW150FGG: Recommended maximum bottling volume is 34 bottles (as shown in Fig.3 in the PDF).

Storing too many bottles may cause the internal temperature to rise temporarily.

• Do not store bottled wine by the box or case inside the cooler.
• Ensure the cork of older bottles remains soaked by the wine; avoid air space between the wine and the cork.
• Open-type bottle shelves help with air circulation and allow condensation on bottles to dry swiftly.
• For serving: take pink wine out 2-5 hours before drinking, red wine 4-5 hours before. White wine can generally be served directly from the cooler. Champagne should remain in the cooler until just before drinking.
• Be aware that wine poured into a tumbler will immediately rise 1 to 2°C from its temperature in the cooler.

The taste and flavor of wine are greatly influenced by the pouring temperature. Here are suggested temperatures:

• To unlock: When the panel is locked, press and hold the “Lock key” continuously for 3 seconds. The lock will release, and the display area will blink.
• To lock: When the panel is unlocked, press and hold the “Lock key” continuously for 3 seconds. The panel will enter the locked state.

Note: Most operations (except the lighting key) require the control panel to be in the unlocked state. This cooler uses touch controls; touch slightly and avoid scratching the panel or using it in high magnetic field/high humidity environments.

Press the “Lighting key” until the buzzer rings. This will toggle the internal lamp on or off. This function can be operated even when the control panel is locked.

• To enter mode: Press and hold the “locking and unlocking” key and the “lighting key” simultaneously for 3 seconds. The display area will show “FC”, indicating the mode is active.
• To exit mode: The mode lasts for a maximum of 24 hours and will exit automatically. You can also exit manually by pressing and holding the “locking and unlocking” key and the “lighting key” simultaneously for 3 seconds again, or by turning off the power.

Ensure the control panel is unlocked. Press and hold the “Temperature-rise key” and the “Temperature-drop key” continuously for 3 seconds. The display will switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature units and show the set temperature in the selected unit.

Ensure the control panel is unlocked:

• Press the “Temperature-rise key” (▲) to increase the set temperature by 1°C (or 1°F).
• Press the “Temperature-drop key” (▼) to decrease the set temperature by 1°C (or 1°F).

After setting the desired temperature, the cooler will operate according to this value once the panel locks automatically or is manually locked. The setting range is 5°C to 18°C (41°F to 64°F).

Note: The display shows the *set* temperature during normal operation, unless an error occurs.

Yes, the cooler has a power-off memory function. When power is restored, the cooler will resume operation according to the settings that were active before the power loss.

If a failure occurs, the display area will show an error code. Contact a specialist for maintenance if you see these codes:

1. Unplug the cooler from the power source.
2. Clean the cooler thoroughly (see cleaning instructions).
3. Leave the cooler door open to prevent odors from building up.

Regular cleaning helps maintain efficiency and prevents odors. Always turn off the power before cleaning.

• General Cleaning: Clean dust behind the cooler and on the ground periodically. Check the door gasket regularly for debris and clean it with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.
• Interior: Remove drinks, shelves, etc. Use a soft cloth or sponge with a solution of two tablespoons of baking soda in a quart of warm water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Allow the interior to dry naturally before turning the power back on. For hard-to-reach areas (gaps, corners), use a soft rag, soft brush, or thin sticks if necessary. Avoid soaps, detergents, or spray cleaners inside, as they can cause odors or contamination.
• Shelves: Clean shelves with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent. Rinse with water and dry with a soft cloth or let them dry naturally.
• Wooden Wine Racks: Do not immerse wooden racks in liquid. Clean with a dry, soft cloth. For heavy contamination, use a soft cloth that has been wrung out, then dry naturally.
• Exterior: Wipe the outer surface with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or detergent, then wipe dry. Do not rub or scratch the glass door surface.
• Important: Do not use hard brushes, steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives (like toothpaste), organic solvents (alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, or acid/alkaline items, as they can damage surfaces and plastic parts. Do not rinse the cooler directly with water or other liquids to avoid short circuits. Ensure water does not soak the control elements or lighting system in the glass door.

• Verify that the cooler is plugged in and connected to a functioning power outlet.
• Check if the voltage supply is too low.
• Check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.

If the problem persists after checking these points, contact the after-sale service department.

• It’s normal for the cooler to operate longer during summer months when the ambient temperature is higher.
• Adding a large quantity of beverages at once can cause the compressor to run longer to cool them down.
• Frequent opening of the cooler door allows warm air to enter, increasing runtime.

• Check if the cooler is connected to power.
• Verify if the indicator light (part of the lamp assembly) itself has failed or is damaged. (Note: The internal lamp is typically an LED unit; consult service if it fails).

• Ensure the floor is flat and the cooler is placed stably.
• Check if all accessories (like shelves) are properly placed and secure.

Refer to the question about normal operating sounds as well.

Yes, the cooler enclosure may emit heat during operation, especially in summer. This is caused by heat radiation from the condenser (part of the cooling system) and is a normal phenomenon.

Condensation can form on the exterior surface and door seals when the ambient humidity is high. This is a normal phenomenon. Wiping the condensation away with a dry towel usually resolves the appearance. Ensuring the door seals correctly can help minimize this.

• Airflow sound/Grunts: Refrigerant circulating in the lines can produce sounds like eruption or grunts. This is normal and doesn’t affect cooling.
• Buzz: The compressor will generate a buzzing sound while running, which may be more noticeable when it starts up or shuts down. This is normal.
• Clatter: Solenoid valves or electric switch valves may make a clattering sound when operating. This is normal and does not affect the cooler’s function.
