Safety

Electrical Information

• The Wine Cooler/Beverage Center
must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp,
AC only electrical outlet. The power
cord of the appliance is equipped
with a three-prong grounding plug
for your protection against electrical
shock hazards. It must be plugged
directly into a properly grounded three
prong receptacle. The receptacle
must be installed in accordance with
local codes and ordinances. Consult a
qualified electrician. Avoid connecting
refrigerator to a Ground Fault
Interruptor (GFI) circuit. Do not use an
extension cord or adapter plug.

• If the power cord is damaged, it
should be replaced by an authorized
service technician to prevent any risk.

• Never unplug the wine cooler by
pulling on the power cord. Always
grip the plug firmly, and pull straight
out from the receptacle to prevent
damaging the power cord.

• Unplug the Wine Cooler/Beverage
Center before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical
shock.

• Performance may be affected if
the voltage varies by 10% or more.
Operating the Wine Cooler/Beverage
Center with insufficient power can
damage the compressor. Such
damage is not covered under your
warranty.

• Do not plug the unit into an electrical
outlet controlled by a wall switch or
pull cord to prevent the Wine Cooler/
Beverage Center from being turned off
accidentally.

This appliance is intended to be used in
household and similar applications such

Installation

Installation of Your Wine
Cooler / Beverage Center

Your Electrolux Wine Cooler/Beverage
Center has been designed for either free­standing or under counter installation.
When under counter, your unit does not
require additional air space for top, sides
or rear. In either case, the front grille must
NOT be obstructed.

• This appliance is designed to be for
free standing installation or under
counter (fully recessed). (Refer to
sticker located on the back of this
appliance.)

• This appliance is intended to be used
exclusively for the storage of wine or
beverages.

• Place your Wine Cooler/Beverage
Center on a floor that is strong enough
to support it when it is fully loaded.
To level your Wine Cooler/Beverage
Center, adjust the front leveling legs at
the bottom of the unit.

• This appliance uses flammable
refrigerant. So never damage
the cooling pipe work during the
transportation.

• Locate the Wine Cooler/Beverage
Center away from direct sunlight and
sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator,
etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the
acrylic coating and heat sources
may increase electrical consumption.
Extreme cold ambient temperatures
may also cause the unit not to perform
properly.

• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.

• Plug the Wine Cooler/Beverage Center
into an exclusive, properly installed,
grounded wall outlet. Do not under
any circumstances cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power
cord. Any questions concerning power
and/or grounding should be directed
toward a certified electrician or an
Authorized Products Service Center.

NOTE

To ease unit installation and removal, it
is recommended that the cabinet rough
opening dimensions be increased by at
least ¼ inch over the dimensions given
for your unit.

NOTE

All units require zero clearance when
installed flush with a cabinet or wall.
Electrolux stainless steel models require
a minimum 2-7⁄8 inch handle clearance
when installed against a wall or cabinet
that extends beyond the front edge of
the unit.

Before Using Your Wine Cooler/
Beverage Center

• Remove the exterior and interior
packing.

• Before connecting the Wine Cooler /
Beverage Center to the power source,
let it stand upright for approximately 2
hours. This will reduce the possibility
of a malfunction in the cooling system
from handling during transportation.

• Clean the interior surface with
lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

Using your Wine Cooler/Beverage
Center

• Store wine in sealed bottles.

• Do not overload the cabinet.

• Do not open the door unless
necessary.

• Do not cover shelves with aluminum
foil or any other shelf material which
may prevent air circulation.

Care & Maintenance

21

Maintaining Your Wine
cooler

Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance
will ensure efficiency, top performance,
and long life. The maintenance intervals
listed are based on normal conditions. You
may want to shorten the intervals if you
have pets or other special considerations.

Exterior Cleaning for Your
Stainless Steel Model

• Your stainless steel model may
discolor when exposed to chlorine
gas, pool chemicals, salt water, or
cleaners with bleach.

• Keep your stainless unit looking new
by cleaning with a high quality, all-in­one stainless steel cleaner/polish on a
monthly basis. Frequent cleaning will
remove surface contamination that
could lead to rust. Some installations
will require cleaning on a weekly basis.

• DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL
PADS.

• DO NOT USE CLEANERS THAT ARE
NOT SPECIFICALLY INTENDED FOR
STAINLESS STEEL (this includes
glass, tile and counter cleansers).

• If any surface discolors or rusting
appears, clean it quickly with Bon-Ami
or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser and a
non-abrasive cloth. Always clean in
the direction of the grain. Always finish
this process with a high quality, all-in­one stainless steel cleaner/polish to
prevent further problems.

• USE OF ABRASIVE PADS SUCH AS
SCOTCHBRITE WILL CAUSE THE
GRAINING IN THE STAINLESS TO
BECOME BLURRED.

• Rust that is allowed to linger can
penetrate into the surface of the
stainless steel and become impossible
to remove.

CAUTION

• Stainless steel models exposed to
chlorine gas and moisture such as
areas with spas or swimming pools,
may have some discoloration of
the stainless steel. Discoloration
from chlorine gas is normal. Follow
exterior cleaning instructions.

• NEVER USE CHLORIDE OR
CLEANERS CONTAINING BLEACH
TO CLEAN STAINLESS STEEL.

Interior Cleaning - as Required

1 Disconnect power to the wine cooler.

2 Remove racks if desired.

3 Wipe down the interior with a solution

of non-abrasive mild detergent and
warm water.

4 Rinse with clear water.

5 Reconnect power to the unit.

Should the Wine Cooler/Beverage
Center be stored without use for long
periods:

• Clean thoroughly.

• Leave the door ajar to allow air to
circulate inside the cabinet in order
to avoid possible formations of
condensation, mold or odors.
