Installing the Wine Refrigerator
The wine refrigerator should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements.
The wine refrigerator 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 refrigerator into a power supply, be sure to let it stand
upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s oils to settle.

Installation
This wine refrigerator has been designed for free-standing installation. 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 as long as there is proper ventilation. This product is not designed to be built
into a cabinet or recessed setting. You must follow the stated instructions for electrical
requirements, and leveling the wine refrigerator.
Choose a location that has ambient temperatures above 50° F and below 95° F.
Operation outside these temperatures may lead to lowered efficiency or other adverse
effects.
This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, e.g., wind, rain,
water spray or drips.
The wine refrigerator should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other high heat
sources.
Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the wine refrigerator and the wall
or cabinet.
The wine refrigerator should be installed on a firm and level surface that will be able
to support the entire weight of a fully loaded unit. It is important for the wine
refrigerator to be level in order to work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height
of the wine refrigerator by rotating the feet. See the “Leveling the Wine Refrigerator”
section.
A standard electrical supply (115 VAC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance
with National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
