Installation

INSTALLING THE WINE COOLER

Your Electrolux wine cooler has been designed for either free-standing or built-in installation(refer to the Built-in Installation section of this manual for instructions). In either case, the front grille must NOT be obstructed.

SITE PREPERATION

1 Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the entire

weight of the unit. Remember the unit will be significantly heavier once it is fully loaded.

2 This unit requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60Hz, 15A circuit

(normal household current).

3 Avoid connecting the unit to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI). GFIs are prone

to nuisance tripping which will cause the unit to shut down. GFIs are generally not used on circuits which power equipment that must run unattended for long periods of time.

4 The unit must be installed according to your local codes and ordinances.

ANGERANGER

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD! Electrical Grounding Required. This appliance is equipped with a three prong

(grounding) polarized plug for your protection against possible shock hazards.

• NEVER remove the round grounding prong from the plug.

• NEVER use a two-prong grounding adapter.

• NEVER use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.

Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered or a longer power cord is required, contact a qualified electrician to have it replaced in accordance with applicable electrical codes.

Wood Trim

WINE RACKS WITH WOOD TRIM

Your Electrolux wine cooler is equipped with a natural wood trim on the wine racks for appearance and durability. The wood trim has been coated at the factory with a clear vinyl sealer, which will adequately protect the wood in normal usage.

UTIONUTION

To prevent permanent damage to the inner liner of your wine cooler , the wine rack wood trim MUST be removed from the unit for staining and/or finishing. Allow stain/ finish to dry thoroughly (at least 24 hours per coat) in accordance with the stain/finish manufacturer’s instructions prior to re-installing the wood trim inside the cabinet of the wine cooler . Failure to do so may cause the inner liner of the unit to have a permanent odor, which is not covered by the warranty.

You have 3 options regarding the wood trim on the wine racks.

(1) You can leave as is, (2) add a final finish coat or (3) you may stain the wood trim. The final finish coat was not applied at the factory so that the wood trim could be stained. YOU CANNOT STAIN THE WOOD TRIM ONCE YOU APPLY THE FINAL FINISH. Review the following guidelines when staining and or sealing the wood to ensure proper adhesion and durability of the finish.

To add a final finish coat:

1 Remove five racks with wood trim from unit, see RACK REMOVAL/

INSTALLATION.

2 Remove screws securing wood trim to racks. 3 Lightly scruff sand the molding with 280 grit 3M Tri-M-Ite® sand-paper. 4 Remove sanding dust with a clean, dry cloth. 5 Apply a thin coat of a clear protective finish; the factory-applied seal is

compatible with virtually all finishes. A low odor, water clean up, quick drying finish such as Minwax Polycrylic® is recommended. Follow container label for directions.

6 Lightly sand and reapply if desired.

Wood Trim

To stain for a different wood color:

1 Remove five racks with wood trim from unit, see Rack Removal/

Installation. 2 Remove screws securing wood trim to racks. 3 Apply Minwax Water-Based Wood Stain® to wood with a synthetic foam

brush. Stain must penetrate approximately 3 minutes. After this period, while

stain is still wet, take a stain dampened rag and remove all excess stain.

Wipe in the direction of the grain with medium pressure to achieve the

desired stain color.

4 After 2 hours, repeat step three. This will even out the color of the wood. 5 Allow stain to dry for a minimum of 3 hours before finishing. 6 If desired sand the wood with very fine sandpaper to smooth the surface from

the staining process. 7 Remove all dust from the wood. Apply one coat of Minwax Ultra Fast-Drying

Polycrylic Protective Finish® with a synthetic foam brush to the wood. This

finish should be applied in a thin coat following the direction of the grain. First

apply the finish to the back and sides of the wood. Allow this to dry for two

hours. Next apply the finish to the front side of the wood and allow to dry for

two hours. Sand with very fine sandpaper (220 grit). Reapply in the same

manner 3 times total. After the third coat do not sand the surface. 8 Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before installing the wood to the wine

cooler racks.

Your door is aligned at the factory before shipment. Occasional re-adjustment may be necessary, especially if an overlay panel is installed. The following procedure will correct for up to 1/4" alignment.

The door should never be flush with the top of the cabinet. Even when level, the top edge of the door will be 1/8" below the top of the cabinet (see Figure 14).

To adjust :

hinges) to the top edge of the cabinet and note the type (up or down) of adjustment needed.

2 Remove the top hinge pivot pin with a 7/64" hex

wrench (see Figure 15) and lift door off bottom hinge pin. Be careful not to lose door closers (see
