HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY  
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.  
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.  
The power cord of this appliance 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 appliance.  
This provides the best performance and also  
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which  
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.  
Never unplug your wine chiller by pulling on  
the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and  
pull straight out from the outlet.  
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a  
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is  
properly grounded.  
Repair or replace immediately all power cords  
that have become frayed or otherwise damaged.  
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion  
damage along its length or at either end.  
If you have only a standard 2-prong wall outlet,  
it is your personal responsibility and obligation  
to have it replaced with a properly grounded  
3-prong wall outlet.  
When moving the wine chiller away from the  
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the  
power cord.  
The wine chiller should always be plugged into  
its own individual electrical outlet which has  
a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.  
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS  
Adapter plugs are not permitted in Canada.  
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Installing the wine chiller.  
Removing the Packaging  
Before using the wine chiller, be sure all packing materials and tape have been removed,  
including any protective film covering the control and any film protecting the cabinet.  
If you are discarding an old refrigeration product, remove the doors to reduce the danger  
of children being trapped inside.  
Installation Guidelines  
The wine chiller must be freestanding.  
Do not install the wine chiller where  
the temperature will go below 55°F  
(13°C) or above 90°F (32°C).  
Allow the following clearances for ease  
of installation, proper air circulation  
and electrical connections:  
Install it on a level floor.  
Each side  
Top  
Back  
2" (51 mm)  
2" (51 mm)  
3" (51 mm)  
Do not install the wine chiller where it  
will be subject to direct sunlight, heat  
or moisture.  
Do not store or install this appliance  
outdoors.  
Before connecting the appliance to the  
power source, let it stand upright for  
approximately 2 hours. This will reduce  
the possibility of a malfunction in the  
cooling system from handling during  
transporation.  
The following models must be installed  
on the floor: GWS04, GCS04.  
Leveling Legs  
Adjustable legs at the front corners of the  
wine chiller should be set so the wine  
chiller is firmly positioned on the floor,  
with a 1/8" (3 mm) tilt to the back to  
help the door closure.  
To adjust the leveling legs, turn the  
legs clockwise to raise the wine chiller,  
counterclockwise to lower it.  
To raise the wine chiller  
Door Lock (available on some Models)  
The key is located inside the plastic bag containing the Owner's Manual. Insert the key  
in the lock and turn it counterclockwise to unlock the door. To lock the door do the  
reverse operation. Remove the key and place in a secure location.  
Interior Light (available on some Models)  
You can turn the light ON or OFF by pushing the light switch located on the right side of  
the control panel housing. If the interior light is left on, the temperature will be higher.  
Loading the Wine  
As with any refrigeration product, there is a slight temperature variance at different  
locations within the cabinet. In this wine chiller, the lower shelves provide a slightly  
cooler temperature than the upper shelves.  
When storing both red and white wines, it is best to store the white wine on the lower  
shelves where the temperature is slightly cooler.

programmed Temperature for red or white wine will be displayed for a few seconds (the actual  
temperature of the Chiller is displayed in normal operation).  
TEMPERATURE CONTROL:  
The temperature of the Chiller is controlled by the temperature up  
and temperature down  
pads.  
The temperature can be set anywhere between 40°F to 65°F (4°C to 18°C) as follows.

NOTES:  
The cabinet temperature in degrees Celsius is displayed during Normal Operation. The status of  
the refrigeration cycle is indicated by the  
indicator light as follows:  
(1) Flashes before the compressor starts,  
(2) Remains ON during the refrigeration cycle and  
(3) Remains OFF during the idle cycle.  
FACTORY SETTINGS:

After plugging in the wine chiller and making  
your selection ( RED or WHITE WINE ), allow the  
wine chiller to reach the set temperature before the temperature to return back to the set  
After loading the wine, you may notice a rise  
in the temperature. Allow adequate time for

Care and cleaning.  
Cleaning the Outside  
IMPORTANT: Unplug the wine chiller before  
cleaning.  
Stainless steel. Regularly clean and polish  
the stainless steel areas (on some models)  
with a commercially available stainless  
steel cleaner such as Gleem-it® to preserve  
and protect the fine finish. Gleem-it® is  
available at leading hardware stores. It is  
also available through our website, www.  
GEAppliances.ca, or call 1.888.261.3055.  
Order part number WX10X15.  
Keep the outside clean. The cabinet can  
be washed with mild soap and water.  
Rinse thoroughly with clear water.  
Never use abrasive scouring powders.  
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water  
and a soft cloth to clean the glass door.  
Do not use any abrasive powders.  
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the  
stainless steel.  
Wipe the control panel with a damp cloth.  
Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning  
sprays, large amounts of soap and water,  
abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—  
they can damage it. Some paper towels  
can also scratch the control panel.  
Protect the paint finish. The finish on  
the outside of the wine chiller is a  
high-quality, baked-on paint finish.  
With proper care, it will stay new-looking  
and rust-free for years. Apply a coat of  
kitchen/appliance wax when the wine  
chiller is new, and then at least twice  
a year.  
Do not wipe the wine chiller with a soiled  
dishcloth or towel. These may leave a residue that  
can erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads,  
powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing  
bleach because these products can scratch and  
weaken the paint finish.  
Cleaning the Inside  
IMPORTANT: Unplug the wine chiller before  
cleaning.  
Do not use detergents, scouring powders,  
spray cleaners or other harsh chemicals to  
clean the interior.  
To clean the inner liner and racks, use  
a warm water and baking soda solution—  
about one tablespoon (15 mL) of baking  
soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This  
both cleans and neutralizes odors.  
Rinse and wipe dry.  
The vinyl door gasket may be cleaned with  
mild soap and water or a baking  
soda solution. Rinse well.  
Defrosting  
Defrost whenever frost on the inside surfaces  
of the storage area becomes 1/8" (3 mm) thick.  
Never use a heater of any kind, scraper or  
sharp instrument to remove frost as it may  
damage the wine chiller.  
After defrosting, make sure inside surfaces  
are dry; then return the contents to the  
wine chiller and set the temperature  
control to the desired setting.  
To defrost, unplug the wine chiller.  
Remove the contents and wipe inside  
surfaces and racks with a clean towel.  
If frost does not come off easily,  
allow the frost to melt somewhat  
and wipe off.

Care and cleaning.  
In the Event of a Power Failure  
If the power fails, open the door as  
infrequently as possible to maintain  
the temperature. A gradual rise in  
temperature should not have any  
adverse effect on the wine.  
When power is restored, the controls  
automatically are set to the Factory Setting  
50°F (10°C). If needed, reset the controls  
to the desired setting.  
If it is extremely hot, you may want to  
unload the wine from the wine chiller and  
move the wine to a cooler location until  
power is restored.  
Preparing to Move  
Unload the wine, then secure the racks  
and door by taping them in place to  
prevent damage.  
Be sure the wine chiller stays in an upright  
position during the move.  
Replacing the light bulb (available on some models)  
Unplug the wine chiller.

If the door is locked, unlock it.  
The light bulb is located behind the Light Shield in the ceiling of  
the wine chiller near the front. To remove the light shield, remove  
Screw.Gently pull down on the bottom of the Light shield to release  
it.  
Unscrew the light bulb from the Socket.
