Installing Your Wine Cooler
Unpacking Your Wine Cooler
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all
adhesive tape holding the wine cooler accessories inside and outside.
Slide out and remove plastic or foam guard used to secure the
compressor from shipping damage due to vibration and shock.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed
materials before powering on the wine cooler.
Leveling Your Wine Cooler
• Your wine cooler has four leveling legs which are located in the
front and rear corners of your wine cooler. After properly placing your
wine cooler in its final position, you can level your wine cooler.
• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your
wine cooler or by turning them counterclockwise to lower
your wine cooler. The wine cooler door will close easier when the
leveling legs are extended.
Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet)
with proper grounding to power the wine cooler.
• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in
order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice
since it provides no effective grounding for the wine cooler and may
result in shock hazard.

• Your wine cooler has a temperature control knob on the bottom of the

Shelving
• The shelves are chrome plated and designed for flexibility and easy
cleaning. To accommodate different sized bottles the shelves slide out
and can be moved up or down into any of the tracks molded into the
cooler cabinet. Larger bottles or Magnums can be more easily
accommodated on the bottom of the cooler. You will notice that the
shelves are designed so the bottles do not line-up directly over one
another. This allows free air movement and provides more space.
Interior Light
• To complement the look of your wine collection, a soft light has been
built into the wine cooler. The light switch is on the front bottom.
Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear
• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of
the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.
• The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.

Wine Cooler Installations
Install Limitations
• Do not install your wine cooler in any location not properly insulated or
heated e.g. garage etc. Your wine cooler was not designed to operate
in temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.
• Select a suitable location for the wine cooler on a hard even
surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators,
baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness
should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front and rear
bottom corners of the wine cooler.
Dimensions
• Built-in wine coolers need to be ventilated from the front. This feature
allows the unit to be built in an enclosed area. The bottom front grille
should be clear of all obstructions. This is absolutely necessary for the
air to circulate and for the unit to operate efficiently. The dimensions for
installation are as follows. (W x D x H)

Choices
• As the doors of the built-in wine coolers are reversible, 2 wine
coolers could be placed side by side with the doors opening
from the middle. This would not only allow you more storage
space but also better placement of your wine collection. The red
wines could be separate from the white wines. Before installing
make sure there is enough space for installation and that both
the units are plugged into separate power receptacles.

hinge bracket by removing the 4 screws on the
