  • Owner's manual

Q: The measurements please what are they ? Thanks and have a great day.

A: The dimensions are 25.75" H x 14" W x 20.25" D.

Q: How much space does it need around it to function properly.?

A: Approximately 6 inches on both sides and the back for venting.

Q: is it loud?

A: No. Very quiet operation.

Q: Is this wine cooler noisy? Does the fan run all the time? Thank you.

A: The compressor of the unit comes on and off depending on the set and ambient temperatures. It is normal for the fan come on and off to circulate the air inside of the cabinet for even temperature distribution and to save energy. The fan running saves energy by circulating the cool air to avoid the compressor from running too frequently.
