What to Do
1. Begin by ensuring proper installation and
grounding of the appliance by a qualified
technician according to the accompanying
Installation Instructions. Have the installer
show you where the fuse or junction box is
located so that you know how and where to
turn off power.

those individuals who are able to operate it
properly.

as recommended in this manual.

Risk of Child Entrapment
WARNING:
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigeration products are still dangerous…even
if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are
getting rid of your old appliance, please follow
these instructions to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigeration Product:
• Take off the door.
• Leave the shelves in place so that
children may not easily climb inside.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed prior
to product disposal.
If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration
product, check with the company handling the
disposal about what to do.
Purpose of This Manual
This Use & Care Manual is designed to enable
you to properly operate and maintain your new
Dacor appliance. Please keep this manual
handy for easy access and quick reference.
Additional information may be requested by
e-mailing, writing or phoning the DACOR
Customer Service Department. The address

The operating temperatures of the appliance
range from the low forties to the mid fifties.
Do not install the appliance where the
temperature will go below 55°F (13°C) or above
90°F (32°C).
NOTES:
As with any refrigeration product, there is a
slight temperature variance at different locations
within the cabinet.
Temperatures at the bottom of the cabinet will
be cooler than temperatures at the top of the
cabinet.
Position your wine inventory accordingly (i.e.
white wines in the cooler zones and red in the
warmer zones).
When the temperature is adjusted, allow 24
hours for the unit to stabilize.
Beverage Cooler
To set the control, turn it to the midpoint setting
(approximately 45ºF). Once the beverage cooler
is loaded, allow at least 24 hours before making
any adjustments to the initial setting.
The interior light makes it easy to view your
wine/beverage labels and enhances the display
of your collection.
When the switch is in the OFF position, the
light comes on only when the door is opened.
When the switch is in the ON position, the light
remains on continuously for your maximum
viewing pleasure. For best viewing do not store
a bottle on the top shelf directly under the light.
Remember to turn off the light when it is no
longer needed.
Glass Shelves
Tempered glass shelves in the beverage cooler
unit are removable for easy cleaning or for
storing larger items.
To remove a shelf, open the door completely to
avoid potential damage to the gasket. Lift up on
the back of the shelf slightly. Tilt the shelf to one
side at an angle while pulling forward.
To replace a shelf, open the door completely
to avoid potential damage to the gasket. Tilt the

engaged. When installed properly, the shelf will
not slide forward when gently pulled.
