Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with
proper grounding to power the wine cellar.
• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order to
accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no
effective grounding for the wine cellar and may result in shock hazard.
Install Limitations
• Do not install your wine cellar in any location not properly insulated or heated
e.g. garage etc. Your wine cellar was not designed to operate in temperature
settings below 60° Fahrenheit.
• Select a suitable location for the wine cellar on a hard even surface away from
direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking
appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs
located on the front and rear bottom corners of the wine cellar.
•
This appliance is designed for free standing installation or can be recessed into
cabinetry
.
Use of Extension Cords
• Avoid the use of an
extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will
accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
Wine Cellar Features and Use
Initial Setup
•
Before connecting the wine cellar to the 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.
