INSTALLING YOUR WINE CELLAR

NPACKING YOUR WINE CELLAR

. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the wine

cellar accessories inside and outside.

. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before powering on the wine

cellar.

LEVELING YOUR WINE CELLAR

• Your wine cellar has four leveling legs which are located in the front and rear corners of your wine

cellar. After properly placing your wine cellar in its final position, you can level your wine cellar.

• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your wine cellar or by turning them

counterclockwise to lower your wine cellar. The wine cellar 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 cellar.

• 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 cellar and may result in shock hazard.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions. If it

is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

WINE CELLAR FEATURES AND USE

NITIAL SETUP

• Your wine cellar has a temperature control knob on the bottom of the unit. There are 7 settings: 1 eing the warmest and 7 being the coolest. You can set the temperature of your wine cellar at any

etting you desire. The wine cellar will maintain a temperature range between 39˚F and 65˚ F.

SHELVING

• The shelves are black vinyl coated. They are 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. The shelves are designed to allow free air movement and provides more space.

English

INTERIOR LIGHT

• To complement the look of your wine collection, a soft light has been built into the wine cellar. 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 CELLAR INSTALLATIONS

NSTALL LIMITATIONS

• Do not install your wine cellar in any location not properly insulated or heated e.g. garage etc. Your

wine cellar was not designed to operate in temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.

• Select a suitable location for the wine cellar 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 cellar.

IMENSIONS

Built-in wine cellars 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)

Unit Dimensions: 23-7/8” x 23-15/16” x 34-1/4” Built-In Dimensions: 24” x 24” x 35”

23-15/16”

CHOICES

• As the doors of the built-in wine cellars are reversible, 2 wine cellars 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.
