Installing the Wine and Beverage Cooler
The wine and beverage cooler should be installed in accordance with
local electrical code requirements. The wine and beverage cooler should
also be placed in a location that is strong enough to support its total
weight, keeping in mind that it will weigh substantially more when fully
loaded than when empty.
Before you plug the wine and beverage cooler into a power supply, be
sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s
oils to settle.

labels from your wine and beverage cooler.
