Installing the Wine Cooler
The wine cooler should be installed in accordance with local
electrical code requirements. The wine cooler 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 cooler into a power supply, be sure
to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the
temperature to acclimate.
Unpacking the Wine Cooler
Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove
any shipping tape and glue from your wine cooler
before using. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing
alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to
remove tape or glue. These products can damage the
surface of your wine cooler.
IMPORTANT
: Do not remove any safety, warning, or product
information labels from your wine cooler.
Type of Installation
This wine cooler has been designed for free-standing
installation only. There must be adequate ventilation space
around the top, back and sides of the unit.
Free-standing installation:
A free-standing installation will allow you to install the wine
cooler in almost any place you desire. You must follow the
stated instructions for electrical requirements, installation
clearance, and leveling the wine cooler.
WARNING:
Do NOT install the wine cooler built-in or behind
a closed cabinet door.
Installation Clearance Requirements
• To ensure proper ventilation, allow at least 5” clearance at
the back, 4” at top and 4” at sides.
• The wine cooler 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 cooler to be level in
order to work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height
of the wine cooler by rotating the feet. See the “Leveling the
Wine cooler” 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.
Important Notes:
• Choose a location that has
an ambient temperature of
78F. Operation outside this
temperature may result in
lowered efficiency or cause
other adverse effects.
• This unit MUST be installed
indoors in an area protected
from the elements, e.g., wind,
rain, water spray or drips.
• The wine cooler should not
be located next to ovens, grills
or other high heat sources.
