Installing Your Wine Cooler
Unpacking your Wine Cooler
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the base and all adhesive tape
holding the wine cooler accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before
powering on the wine cooler.
Leveling your Wine Cooler
•
Your wine cooler has 2 leveling legs, located at the bottom of your wine
cooler. After properly placing your wine cooler in its final position, you can
adjust its level.
•
Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise the appliance
or by turning them counterclockwise
to lower
the
wine cooler. The
door
will
close easier when the leveling legs are extended.
Proper Air Circulation
•
To ensure that your wine cooler works at its maximum efficiency,
you
should
install
it in
a
location
where
there
is
proper
air circulation
and
electrical
connections.
•
The following are recommended clearances around the wine cooler:
Sides……………3/4 “ (19 mm)
Top....................2” (50 mm)
Back..................2” (50 mm)
Electrical Requirements
•
Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with
proper grounding to power the wine cooler.
•
Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in
order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it
provides no effective grounding for the wine cooler and may result in
shock hazard. Please note that the use of 2-prong adapters is strictly forbidden
in Canada.
Use of Extension Cords
•
Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will
accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
