4 Husky DUAL-ZONE WINE COOLER BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME For good circulation, the vents must not be blocked. Allow 50mm clear space all round the unit for adequate ventilation. Your Husky Wine Cooler should be placed on flat and firm surface for quieter operation. If the appliance is to be placed on carpet, support it with a wooden board underneath. Be aware that placing the appliance on carpet may cause the carpet to fade. Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight or a heat source such as ovens, radiators, heaters, etc. Do not under any circumstances place heated beverages or food in your Husky Wine Cooler. Do not open the door more often than necessary to lessen the escape of cold air. For better air circulation, do not overfill the unit. Adjust the temperature regulator according to the amount of product and the ambient temperature. BASIC OPERATION It is recommended that you site the Wine Cooler in a room where the ambient temperature is maintained between 18º-25ºC/41º-77ºF. If the ambient temperature of the unit is outside this range, particularly during extreme hot or cold conditions, it is entirely normal that the temperature on the display fluctuates from the set temperature. This may also occur due to other factors such as opening the door frequently. For this reason we do not recommend locating the Wine Cooler in outdoor buildings including conservatories and garages. Temperature Range For Your Wine Cooler: Upper zone: 8-18 C/46-64 F Ideal for white and rosé wine Lower zone: 9-18 C/48-64 F Ideal for red wine. Recommended Temperatures for Chilling Wine: Red wines: 14-18 C/57-65 F White wines: 9-14 C/49-58 F Rosé wines: 10-11 C/51-53 F Sparkling wines: 5-9 C/40-49 F NOTE: When you use the appliance for the first time or restart it after having been turned off for a long time, there may be a few degrees difference between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal. Once the wine cooler has been running for a few hours the display will stabilise.
Husky DUAL-ZONE WINE COOLER 5 Setting the temperature control Your Husky Wine Cooler is fitted with an automatic control panel lock that activates 12 seconds after the last time a button has been touched.

Protect the outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item. ENERGY SAVING Your Husky Wine Cooler should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from sources of heat, and out of the direct sunlight. One characteristic of thermoelectric units is the length of time it requires to recover from having the door opened and shut frequently. It may be necessary to wait longer for the temperature to return to its former level once the door has been opened for too long. This is normal for this type of unit.
