INSTALLATION
•
Remove all packing material before using your wine cooler.
•
IMPORTANT
: Before connecting the unit to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately 24
hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
•
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
•
This unit is designed for freestanding or built in installation but indoor use only. Position the unit in a dry
and well-ventilated place. Avoid placing the wine cooler near any source of heat or moisture, or in direct
sunlight. Do NOT install the unit in a location with an ambient temperature that will fall below 41°F.
•
For built-in installation, leave a ¼” (6.35mm) space on each side and at the top of the wine cooler to
ensure proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. Also, be sure to not obstruct the
front exhaust vent with any objects as this may affect the unit from performing properly.
•
For freestanding installation, 6” of space at the back, 10-12” of space on each side, and unlimited
clearance at the top of the wine cooler are suggested to ensure proper air circulation to cool the
compressor and condenser. Do not place underneath a table, counter top, or anything of the sort as this
will not allow for proper air circulation.
•
Do not slide the unit into place.
•
Place the wine cooler on a level surface strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level the
wine cooler, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom of the wine cooler.
•
For best performance it is recommended that you install the appliance in a location with an ambient
temperature between 41°-100°F. If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended
temperatures, the performance of the unit may be affected.
•
Plug the wine cooler into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet.
