Installing Your Wine Cellar

Unpacking your Wine Cellar

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the base and all adhesive tape holding the wine cellar accessories inside and outside.

2. 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 4 leveling legs. After properly placing your wine cellar in

its final position, you can level your wine cellar.

• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them counterclockwise to raise your

wine cellar or by turning them clockwise to lower your wine cellar.

• Install the legs by screwing in the legs into the preset screw holes. (Please note

that the leg which stands on the hinge is the shorter leg.)

Proper Air Circulation

• To assure your wine cellar works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for,

you should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation and electrical connections.

• The following are recommended clearances around the wine cellar:

Sides……………2 "(50mm)

Top....................4" (100mm)

Back..................2" (50mm)

• Do not over fill your wine cellar for proper internal air circulation.

NNOOTTEE::AAllllooww eennoouugghh ssppaaccee iinn tthhee ffrroonntt ooff tthhee uunniitt ttoo ooppeenn tthhee ddoooor ttoo 112200˚˚.

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.

English

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.

Install Limitations

• Do not install your wine cellar in any location not properly insulated or heated

e.g. garage etc.

• 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 surface unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front and rear bottom corners of the wine cellar. Avoid placing unit where there may be electrical interference.

• Your wine cellar is designed for free-standing installation only. It is not

designed for built-in application.
