NOTE: Your model will contain an electronic display
panel (Figure 28, 3) in the wine rack attached to the
bottom drawer. After removing the trim screws,
and gently lifting the trim from its location, a
wiring harness connector will become visible.
Unplug the connector. DO NOT remove drawer from
unit.
5. Remove the two screws securing the electronic control
to the wood trim. Carefully rotate the wood trim so the
electronic control slides out of the wood and place
electronic control aside in a safe location.
NOTE: the electronic control and glass front are NOT
connected. Be careful when removing control not to
drop the glass.
6. Remove the remaining wood fronts from the additional
racks by extending racks out as far as possible and then
removing the three screws that attach the wood to the
racks.
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
DO NOT apply stain/final finish to the wood trim
with the electronic display attached to the wood.
Damage may occur to the electronic control which
is not covered by the warranty.
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
DO NOT use oil-based stains on wood trim. Vapors
from oil-based stains will permanently penetrate
the liner and will not dissipate over time.
7. Apply Minwax
®
Water-Based Wood Stain to wood with
a synthetic bristle brush or a foam applicator. Allow
stain to penetrate approximately three minutes. Before
the stain is dry, take a stain dampened rag and remove
any excess stain remaining. Wipe in the direction of the
grain with medium pressure to achieve the desired stain
color.
8. After two hours, repeat step 2. This will even out the
color of the wood.
9. Allow stain to dry for a minimum of three hours before
applying the final finish.
10. If desired, sand the wood with very fine sandpaper to
smooth the surface after the staining process.
11. Remove all dust from the wood, and apply one coat of
Minwax
®
Polycrylic
®
Protective Finish using a synthetic
bristle brush to the wood. This finish should be applied
in a thin coat following the direction of the grain.
Apply the finish to the back and sides of the wood first,
and allow it to dry for two hours. Apply the finish to the
front side of the wood next, and allow it to dry for two
hours. Sand with very fine 220 grit sandpaper. Apply
two addition coats of the finish in the same manner, but
do not sand the trim after the final third coat is applied.
12. Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before
reinstalling the trim to the cabinet interior components.
Final finish-only application:
1. Follow steps 1 through 6, then continue with step 2 in
this section.
2. Lightly scruff sand the wood trim with 280 or finer grit
sandpaper.
3. Remove sanding dust with a clean, dry cloth.
4. The factory-applied seal is compatible with virtually all
finishes. A low odor, water clean up, quick-drying finish
such as Minwax
®
Polycrylic
®
Protective Finish is
recommended (Minwax
®
Polycrylic
®
is an ultra fast-
drying water-based finish). Apply a thin coat of a clear,
protective finish, following the container label
directions.
5. Lightly sand and reapply if desired.
6. Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before
reinstalling the display to bottom drawer trim and
remaining trim to the cabinet interior components.
