TYPES OF INSTALLATION:
This wine refrigerator has been designed for free‐standing or built‐in installation. In every case, there must
be adequate ventilation and access for service.
Free‐standing Installation
A free‐standing installation will allow you to install the wine refrigerator in almost any place you desire.
You must follow the stated instructions for electrical requirements and leveling the wine refrigerator.
Built‐in Installation
A recessed installation will allow you to install the wine cooler under a counter or in a kitchen cabinet
provided the clearance space requirements around the wine cooler are followed. It is necessary to allow
adequate ventilation space around the unit (make sure there is at least some ventilation room for the
back of the unit). The following additional items must be observed:
1.
Place the wine refrigerator in front of the installation location.
2.
Adjust the feet and place the unit flat on the floor or on a platform depending on your installation
requirements.
3.
If the electrical outlet for the wine refrigerator is behind the cabinet, plug in the wine refrigerator.
4.
Push the wine refrigerator into position.
5.
Installation Clearance Requirements:
When installing the wine refrigerator under a counter, follow the recommended spacing dimensions shown.
•
To ensure proper service access and ventilation, allow between 2 ‐ 3 inches of clearance at the back as shown in
the diagram.
•
The installation should allow the unit to be pulled forward for servicing, if necessary.
•
A standard electrical supply (115 VAC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance with National Electrical Code
and local codes and ordinances, is required.
Warning: DO NOT install the wine refrigerator behind a closed cabinet door.
Important: Once you are ready to install the unit in a cabinet or directly on the floor, you must adjust the
feet to level the wine refrigerator.
