Installing the Wine and Beverage Cooler The wine and beverage cooler should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements. The wine and beverage 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 and beverage cooler into a power supply, be sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor's oils to settle. Unpacking the Wine and Beverage Cooler WARNING: Use two or more people to move and install the wine and beverage cooler. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and glue from your wine and beverage 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 and beverage cooler. IMPORTANT: Do not remove any safety, warning, or product information labels from your wine and beverage cooler. Types of Installation This wine and beverage cooler has been designed for free standing or built-in installation. In every case, there must be adequate ventilation and access for service. Free Standing Installation: A free standing installation will allow you to install the wine and beverage cooler in almost any location you desire. You must follow the stated instructions for electrical requirements and leveling the wine and beverage cooler. Built-in Installation: A recessed installation will allow you to install the wine and beverage cooler under a counter or in a kitchen cabinet provided the required clearance space around the wine and beverage cooler is followed. It is necessary to allow adequate ventilation space around the unit (make sure there is at least some ventilation room for the back of the unit). The following additional items must be observed. 1. Place the wine and beverage cooler in front of the installation location. Adjust the feet and place the unit flat on the floor or on a platform depending on your installation requirements. 2. If the electrical outlet for the wine and beverage cooler is behind the cabinet, plug in the wine and beverage cooler. 3. Push the wine and beverage cooler into position. WARNING: Do NOT install the wine and beverage cooler behind a closed cabinet door. 3
