INSTALLATION AREA
Make sure to place your wine cellar in a suitable and stable location, away from any heat source, protected from
direct sunlight, and protected from low/extreme temperatures.
Make sure that the surface area where the cellar will be placed is flat and strong enough to support it when fully
loaded (weight of the cellar plus bottles loaded).
Leveling legs in the front of your cellar can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise the cellar or counter-
clockwise to lower the cellar. The cellar door will close easier when the leveling legs are extended.
Do not place your cellar in the open air and be careful to maintain a minimum space of 7”- 8” between the top of the
cabinet and the ceiling located above it.
Note: the defrosting water recovery tank located at the back of the cabinet near the compressor could overflow under
extreme ambient conditions.

FREE STANDING INSTALLATION
Be sure to leave a space of at least 5 in. (127 mm) between the wall and the back of your wine cellar to allow the free
circulation of air. This device is not designed to be embedded or built-in any cabinet.
WARNING: Make sure that the surface area where you are going to install the device can support its weight
and the weight of its contents when full.
LEVELING
Adjustable feet under the two front corners of the wine cellar (depending on the model) can be used to find the proper
level. The adjustments are made by screwing (or unscrewing) the adjustable feet. A wedge can be employed to find
the horizontal level (use of a bubble-level is recommended). This will avoid any movement (due to instability),
vibrations or generation of noise and will also ensure the proper closure of the door.
Leaning the cellar slightly backward, to allow gravity- flow for the condensation at the bottom of the
unit – helping to prevent the formation of various deposits (scales).
