Mounting the System
Follow the steps below for installation of the Wine Guardian Through-the-Wall unit.
Step 1
Find wall stud locations. If both wine cellar side and finished basement side of
walls have drywall already installed it is important to locate the wall studs in the
area chosen to mount the Through-the-Wall system. Use of any high-quality
stud finder is recommended for locating the center and edges of the wall studs
on the wine cellar wall. Once located, the stud edges should be clearly marked
prior to following Step 2 below.
Step 2
Preparing wall penetration for Installation Sleeve. Mark the penetration
dimensions on the wall (wine cellar and finished basement side) at the desired
mounting location for the Wine Guardian Through-the-Wall unit. Keep in
mind the ideal height should be at eye level to the user. The unit controls should
be reachable upon installation completion. The wall penetration should be no
more than 14-1/2” wide by 16-1/4” high (36.83cm wide by 41.27cm high) stud-
to-stud dimension so modifying stud locations is not required.
CAUTION
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT
Ensure that the area chosen does not have electrical or plumbing interference within the wall
or along the outside of the wall. Failure to do so could cause property damage or personal injury. If the
wall does include electrical wiring or plumbing DO NOT CONTINUE. Contact a qualified electrician or
plumber to relocate these services or choose an alternate location for mounting the WG system.
Step 3
Slide the EasyMount™ sleeve through the wall penetration so that the
flanged area of the sleeve sits flush with the surface of the wall. Ensure the
EasyMount™ sleeve is level and plumb prior to fastening to the existing
studs.

proper operation of the Wine Guardian system. Failure to do so may result in improper
drainage, excessive ware, vibration and noise.
