DANGER, RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT!

An empty refrigerated appliance is a very dangerous attraction to children. Remove
either the gasket, latches, lids, lock and/or doors from unused or discarded appli­ances, or take some other action to guarantee it harmless.

DON’T WAIT, DO IT NOW!

CAUTION

To avoid installation/operation difficulties, read these instructions thoroughly.

This appliance must be
grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, ground­ing reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current.

This appliance is equipped with
a power cord having a ground­ing wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician
or service technician if the
grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly ground­ed.

If the outlet is a standard 2­prong wall outlet, it is your per­sonal responsibility and obliga­tion to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.

For best operation, plug this
appliance into its own electrical
outlet to prevent flickering of
lights, blowing of fuse or trip­ping of circuit breaker.

Do not under any circum­stances cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power
cord.

Do not use an adapter plug
with this appliance.

Do not use an extension cord
with this appliance. If the power
cord is too short, have a quali­fied electrician or service tech­nician install an outlet near the
appliance.

GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING!

Improper use of the ground­ing plug can result in a risk of
electrical shock.

WARNING!

Extreme Weight Hazard

Use two or more people when
moving the wine cooler.

Beneath the wine cooler there
are two leveling legs that are
located on either side of the
vent. It is important that your
wine cooler is level.To level the
wine cooler:

1. Move the wine cooler to

its final location.

2. Have someone gently lean

on the front of the wine
cooler to take some of the
weight off of the leveling
legs.

3. Turn the leveling legs clock-

wise to raise the wine
cooler, or counter-clockwise
to lower it. Continue in this
manner until the wine
cooler is level. See Fig. A.

Leveling
Instructions

Fig. A

Raises

Lowers

• It is recommended that you
do not install the wine cooler
into a corner (i.e. directly
beside a wall). This is to allow
the door to have a greater than
90° opening swing. A limited
door swing will prevent the
shelves from sliding out as
intended, and may lead to
damaging the door gasket.

• The rough cabinet opening
must be on a level floor area
and at least 26

• The electrical outlet may be
positioned from within either
side of the adjacent cabinetry,
or the rear of the shaded area
(as shown in Fig. B).

Important: If the electrical
outlet is surface mounted (not
flush) within the enclosure, the

depth

requirement for the

installation may be affected.

• If the electrical outlet is locat­ed inside the adjacent cabi­netry, cut a 1
