2 Levelling the Appliance
Before using the cooler, it is important that the appliance is level.
The appliance door must be parallel with the side of the cooler, but also, the appliance must tilt
backward a couple of degrees so that the door will automatically close if left open.
To level the door with the side of the cabinet, first close the door.
Ensure the appliance is standing in its final position.
Check to see if the door is parallel with the side of the appliance. If not, adjust the front feet one at
a time by screwing in or out until the door is level with the side. (note: the rear feet are not
adjustable)
Once level, open the door approximately 45º and release the door.
If the door slowly but surely closes by itself, there is nothing more to do.
If the door continues to open further by itself, or the door does not close, then the appliance needs
to be tilted backward slightly.
To do this, first ensure the door is parallel to the side of the appliance, then equally adjust both
front feet by unscrewing both feet the same amount (to raise the front of the appliance).
Keep adjusting and stop when you find the door will now close by itself if the door is left open at
approx. 45º.
3 Instructions For Use
Please note that this appliance is a wine cooler and must not
be used as a refrigerator to store food.
After installing the Cooler as per the notes in the Safety Instructions section, ensure the unit is
level. If levelling is required, adjust the feet up or down on the bottom of the cooler.
Plug into an Earth Power point and switch on.
