2. Installation  
Handel Installation  
Your wine cooler comes with a towel bar style handle. To install the handle,  
you will need a Phillips head screwdriver.  
Look at the left side of the door frame, facing onwards. There are two small  
holes in the frame. Take the handle and hold it up to the door frame so that  
the holes in the handle line up with the holes in door frame. While holding the  
handle with one hand, insert a screw through the top hole and screw it into the  
top hole in the door frame. Then insert a screw in the bottom hole in the  
handle and screw it into the bottom hole in the door frame. Now insert the  
small „caps‟ included into the holes in the handle.  
Note: On some models, the handle can be installed in either side of the door  
frame. To install the handle in the right side of the door frame, use a small flat  
head screwdriver to pry the caps out of their holes and follow the above  
instructions.  
 
1. Remove all packaging.  
2. Set up the wine cooler on a level surface. Make sure you have at least  
4” clearance on each side and 6” clearance in the back for ventilation.  
3. Clean the interior surface with warm water and a soft cloth.  
4. Insert power cord into a power socket. Maker sure the power socket is  
grounded 115v ~AC / 60 Hz socket.  
5. Fill the wine cooler with your choice of wine bottles. Allow up to 24  
hours of operation for the bottles to reach the desired temperature.

set temperature. Press the “▼” button to lower the temperature or “▲” button  
to raise the temperature.  
NOTE: To switch the display between Celsius and Fahrenheit press both “▲”

The temperature inside the wine cooler is dependant on the ambient  
temperature (room temperature) outside the wine cooler. The wine cooler  
temperature can range between 52 -65 degrees F.  
In red wine setting, the temperature range should be between 57 - 61 F and in  
white wine setting, the temperature range should be 54- 57 F. This is based  
on an ambient room temperature of 77F.

by pressing the button

Your wine cooler has a factory installed lock with keys. To lock the wine  
cooler, insert the key into the lock and turn it counter clockwise until the metal  
tab is fully extended. To unlock the wine cooler, insert the key into the lock  
and turn it clockwise until the metal tab is fully retracted.

lean the wine cooler to one side (make sure it is emptied and the door is  
secured) and unscrew the legs to make them longer. Screw the legs tighter to  
make them shorter.

capacity will vary.

The wine racks have a top and a bottom. If you are having trouble fitting the  
stated listed number of bottles of wine in the wine cooler, try flipping the wine  
racks over. Please note that some models of wine coolers may have more  
slots for racks than the number of racks provided.

Some of our Whynter SNO wine cooler comes with the hinges factory  
installed on the right side, so the door opens from the left side, swinging open  
to the right. The hinges can be reversed, to swing open from the right to left.  
To reverse the hinges, you need a flat head screwdriver and a Phillips head  
screwdriver.
