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. 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. 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. 3
