Electrolux Wine Cooler User Manual
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.

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.
