Select Location

The proper location will ensure peak performance of your
appliance. Choose a location where the unit will be out of
direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Best
performance will be maintained when installed within the
following parameters:

A gap of 24in (606mm) is recommended between units
for moving the wine chiller. A clearance of 3in (76mm) is
required to the side of the unit that the hinges are located
on to allow for the door to open 90° degrees. Please see
diagram for recommendations for built in applications.

Cabinet Clearance

Adjacent cabinets and countertop can be installed on top,
back and sides of the unit as long as the grille and door
access remain unobstructed. Ventilation is required for the
bottom front section of the unit where the grille is located.
Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions.

Make certain that the leveling legs supplied with the wine
cooler are installed according to the instructions. Leveling
adjustments can be made by raising or lowering the glides
on the bottom of the unit.

Electrical Connection

Use nominal 115 volt, 60 cycle AC only. DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD

Grounding Method

This product is factory equipped with a power supply cord
that has a three-pronged grounded plug. It must be
plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and
applicable local codes and ordinances. If the circuit does
not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the
responsibility and obligation of the customer to exchange
the existing receptacle in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances.
The third ground prong should not, under any
circumstances, be cut or removed. All U.L. listed
refrigerated products are equipped with this type of plug.

Loading Tips and Suggestions

Bottom rack may be removed for storing “jug” wines.

You may store magnums and other large bottles on the
bottom floor rack or you may store magnums and other
large bottles on any of the roll-out racks by removing the
rack directly above them, except for the top rack.

Position white wines on the middle or lower racks and red
wines on the upper racks.

The bottles on the top rack directly under the light will be
exposed to a slightly higher temperature when the light is
on. Position your wines accordingly and REMEMBER TO
TURN OFF THE LIGHT WHEN IT IS NO LONGER NEEDED.

Keep wines that you plan to use for everyday drinking and
entertaining on the front half of the racks where labels are
completely visible. Place wines for aging or longer term
storing in rear.

Set the Control

The total available temperature range of the unit is from
41°F to 63°F. The middle range on the control is
approximately 56°F. The temperature can be lowered or
raised by turning the control clockwise or
counterclockwise, respectively. As with any refrigeration
product, there is a slight temperature variance at different
locations within the cabinet. For example, the coolest
bottles will be in the middle shelves. The bottles on the top
two shelves will be 3° to 5°F warmer. This is the warmest
location. The bottles in the front of the shelves will be 3° to
5°F warmer than the rear of the shelves. Position your wine
inventory accordingly. To start your appliance, use a
screwdriver to turn the control clockwise to the middle
thermostat setting. Once the bottles are loaded, allow at
least 48 hours for the unit to stabilize before making any
adjustments to the initial setting.

We recommend you place a small thermometer inside the
wine chiller that is visible when looking through the glass
door. This will help you establish the cabinet interior
temperature you wish to store your wine collection at.

Insert Wine Bottles

The six roll-out wine racks each hold eight bottles, two
deep with the necks alternating from front (rear
bottles) to back (front bottles). The bottom floor rack
holds six bottles that are loaded with necks facing the
rear. Tall bottles should not be loaded on the bottom
rack because they may prevent the door from closing.
