Components
Control and display panel
When you plug in your cooler for the first time, the display turns on for three seconds, followed by a start-up tone. You can now operate the control panel. When locked, the display turns off if no key is pressed for 30 seconds. The display turns on again when any key is pressed.
Setting
- Remove the exterior and interior packing.
- Let the wine/beverage cooler stand upright for approximately one-half hour before connecting it to power. This reduces the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling during transportation.
- Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Finding a suitable location
- This wine/beverage cooler is designed to be free-standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
- Place your wine/beverage cooler on a floor, countertop, or cabinet that is strong enough to support the wine/beverage cooler when it is fully loaded.
- Allow five inches of space between the back and sides of the wine/beverage cooler and any surrounding walls. This allows proper air ventilation. Adjust the feet to keep the wine/beverage cooler level.
- Locate the wine/beverage cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, and so on).
- Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating, and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.
- Ambient temperature below 50°F (10°C) or above 85°F (29.4°C) will hinder the performance of this wine/beverage cooler.
- This wine/beverage cooler is not designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation.
- Avoid locating the wine/beverage cooler in moist areas.
Leveling your wine/beverage
- The wine/beverage cooler needs to be level to function properly. If the wine/beverage cooler is not leveled during installation, the door may not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
- To level your wine/beverage cooler, you may either turn the leveling foot clockwise to raise that side of the wine/beverage cooler or turn it counter-clockwise to lower that side.
Providing proper ventilation
Place the wine/beverage cooler at least five inches from the wall to ensure proper airflow to the compressor. Do not place the wine/beverage cooler near any heat sources, such as a heater or stove, as this may put a strain on the compressor.
Providing a proper power supply
Check your local power source. This wine/beverage cooler requires a 110V-120V, 60 Hz power supply. Use a receptacle that accepts the grounding prong. The power cord is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug, which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this wine/beverage cooler.

Grounding adapter
Use
- Plug in and run your wine/beverage cooler for two to three hours before making any temperature adjustments and before adding wine. This allows your cooler to reach a stable temperature.
- Press the temperature up and temperature down buttons at the same time to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
- Adjust the temperature to the setting appropriate to the wine you want to cool, by pressing the temperature up or temperature down buttons. Each press of the button raises or lowers the temperature by one degree between 41°F to 65°F (5°C to 18°C).
Locking and unlocking your cooler
- Press and hold the lock button for three seconds to lock or unlock the control panel.
Lighting your cooler
- Press the light button to turn the interior light on and off.
Memory function
- If you experience a power outage, when your INSIGNIA NS-WC24BK6 Bottle Beverage Cooler cooler is turned on again, it resumes the same temperature that was set when the power went off.
Arranging your wine
In order to maintain good air circulation in the cooler, do not let the bottles touch the back of the cooler. Different temperature zones are generated within the cooler due to air circulation. The upper area’s temperature is the highest, while the lower area the lowest. It is best to store different types of wine within the cooler, in the following sequence, from top to bottom:
- Strong red wine
- Pink and mild red wine
- White wine
- Champagne and spritzer
Serving
We suggest that you pour wine at a temperature below the ideal serving temperature, because the wine warms up quickly after it’s been poured into a glass.
Do not store bottled wine in a box or case in the cooler. We suggest that you put pink/rose type wines onto the table two to five hours before drinking, and red INSIGNIA NS-WC24BK6 Bottle Beverage Cooler wine four to five hours before drinking. That also allows them to reach the suitable serving temperature.

Your wine/beverage cooler is designed for year-round use with only minimal cleaning and maintenance. When you first receive it, wipe the case with a mild detergent and warm water, then wipe dry with a dry cloth. Do this periodically to keep your wine/beverage cooler looking new.
