Location Requirements
• Operate the appliance only on a solid, stable and level
surface. Do not operate on top of carpeting, or other soft
surface.
• Locate your wine cellar in a convenient location, away from
extreme heat and cold. Locate it away from direct sunlight.
The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or
other sources of high heat. It is suggested that it be located in
the coolest area of the room.
• Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to
support it when it is fully loaded. It weighs 100 lbs (45 kG)
unloaded.
• To ensure proper ventilation, the front of the unit must be
completely unobstructed. Choose a well ventilated area with
temperatures between those stated above. This unit must
be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as
wind, rain, water spray or drips.
• Optimal spacing for ventilation around the appliance (for
maximum efficiency) is 5 inches (12.7 cm) in back, at the
sides and above. The Dacor wine cellar may be recessed
in an opening between cabinets or installed at the end of a
cabinet run using a side panel to enclose it. When installing in
an enclosed space, the absolute minimum space is 1/4” (5.0
mm) of space on both sides, 1/4” (5.0 mm) of space at the
top and 2 1/4” (5.7 cm) in back. See diagram, right.
• The overall height of the appliance can be increased by 2 1/2”
(6.4 cm) by adjusting the feet.
• The electrical outlet must be accessible after installation so
that the user can unplug the appliance.
• It is advisable to install the appliance with sufficient ventilation
in a dry and/or an air-conditioned place to avoid condensation
build up on the door during period of high humidity.
Installation
1. Protect the floor surface before you un-crate the unit. Put
the unit on cardboard, plywood or preferably, a carpet
remnant (backing up) placed on the floor.
2. Remove all exterior and interior packing. When you first
open the unit, you may notice an odor similar to nail polish
remover. This odor is not harmful and will disappear once
the unit has been turned on for approximately four hours.
We suggest waiting until the odor has dissipated before
placing your wine inside the unit to ensure that no odor
transfers to the wine.
IMPORTANT:
Before connecting the wine cellar to the
power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours.
This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the
cooling system caused by handling during transport.
3. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft
cloth.
4. Adjust the appliance height if necessary to fit the cutout
using the four adjustable feet on the underside of the
appliance. Make sure all four feet hit the floor and that the
appliance does not rock.
5. Place a level on one of the racks inside the appliance.
Check to make sure the appliance is level front to back and
side to side. Readjust the feet if necessary.
6. Slide the appliance into the cutout. Keep the floor protected
when moving it. Make sure that the power cable does not
become trapped.
7. Connect the power plug to the electrical outlet.
All specifications subject to change without notice.
This appliance must be installed in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
