Locating your wine cellar:
It is recommended that the unit be place where the ambient temperature is between 52-89°F. If the
ambient temperature is above or below the recommended temperatures, the performance of the unit may
be affected. For example, placing in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperature to
fluctuate and the set temperature (range of 45-65°F ) may not be reached.
Note: Unit performs best when ambient temperature is around 77°F.
•
After transportation, allow the unit to stand upright for approximately 2 hrs before connecting power.
•
Place your wine cellar on a flat surface that is strong enough to support it when fully loaded.
•
Allow 5” of space at the rear and both sides of the wine cellar to allow proper ventilation.
•
This wine cellar is designed as a freestanding unit and should not be recessed or built-in.
•
Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.
•
Do not locate the unit in a moist place.
•
Do not locate the wine cellar in direct sunlight.
•
To level the appliance, adjust any of the four leveling legs (0.75” max).
•
Keep ventilation opening clear of foreign objects.
