Electrical Safety Do not exceed the power outlet ratings. It is recommended that the unit be connected to its own circuit. A standard electrical supply (120V, 60Hz), that is properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all state and local codes and ordinances is required. ...
General Safety Always unplug an appliance from the power supply before attempting any service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord. Do not allow children or pets to play on or in the appliance. ...
Thermoelectric Precautions This wine cooler uses thermoelectric technology rather than compression or absorption-types and there are several issues that need attention: Room temperature - The wine cooler needs to be located in a climate controlled room. The unit will perform it’s best at a room temperature of approximately 72° to 77℉. It will not cool correctly when the room temperature is higher than 90°...
Thermoelectric Cooling Principles Thermoelectric cooling, called the Peltier effect, is a solid-state method of cooling or heating by passing current through two different (P shape & N shape) semiconductor materials. The complete system includes a semi-conductor module (P&N shape semi-conductors clamped with two ceramic chips), an internal and external heat exchanger.
