Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
![](/html/ad/ad88/ad885aa600ea0f276403e9e735aad2df276e45a701e0cf18f7ff8fa8d4bb6c24/bg3.png)
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your wine cellar, follow these basic precautions:
• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
• Do not remove ground prong.
• Do not use an adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Disconnect power before servicing.
• Replace all parts and panels before operating.
• Remove doors from your old wine cellar.
• Use nonflammable cleaner.
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from wine cellar.
• Use two or more people to move and install wine cellar.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Proper Disposal of Your Old Wine Cellar
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned wine cellars are still dangerous
- even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of
your old wine cellar, please follow these instructions to help
prevent accidents.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
TOOLS NEEDED:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.
• Hand drill or electric drill
(properly grounded)
• 7/e4"Drill bit
• 5/16"Drill bit
• Chamfer bit
• #16 Drill bit
• 7/e4"Allen wrench
PARTS NEEDED:
Custom Overlay Frame--See "Overlay Frame Dimensions."
Hardware (Optional)
PARTS SUPPLIED:
• Pivot plate (top) • #6 x 1/2"Flat-head
• 8 mm nylon insert (2)
• #6 x 1" Pan-head • 0.093 x 3/4"x 8 ft foam
screws (1O) tape
• Phillips screwdriver
• Flat-blade screwdriver
• Scissors
• Masking tape
• Tape measure
• Petroleum jelly
screws (2)
Before you throw away your old wine cellar:
• Take off the door.
• Leave the racks in place so that children may not easily climb
inside.
If you plan to install a custom overlay frame, you will need to
create the frame yourself or consult a qualified cabinetmaker or
carpenter. See "Overlay Frame Dimensions" for frame
specifications in creating your overlay frame.
IMPORTANT:
• The thickness of the overlay frame must be 3/4"(1.91 cm).
• Overlay frame must not weigh more than 20 Ibs. (9.07 kg).
• Overlay frames weighing more than recommended may
cause damage to your wine cellar.
• Before creating the custom overlay frame, determine the
direction you want the door to swing. Custom overlay
frames are hinge specific. A frame that is created for a
right-hinge door swing cannot be used for a left-hinge
door swing.

Explosion Hazard
Keep flammab{e materiams and vapors, such as
gaso}ine, away from wine ceHaro
Failure to do so can resu}t in death, expmosion, or fire.
To ensure proper ventilation for your wine cellar, allow for a 1/4"
(0.64 cm) space on each side and at the top. When installing your
wine cellar next to a fixed wall, leave 21/2'' (6.35 cm) minimum
clearance on each side to allow for the door to swing open.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the wine cellar
near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install in a
location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C). For
best performance, do not install the wine cellar behind a cabinet
door or block the base grille.
,,
Recommended grounding method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your wine cellar be provided. Use an outlet
that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an
extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, unplug wine cellar or disconnect power.
;: t
Remove the Packaging
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the wine cellar. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap
over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water
and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your wine cellar. For
more information, see "Wine Cellar Safety."
• Properly dispose of packaging.
When Moving Your Wine Cellar:
Your wine cellar is heavy. When moving the wine cellar for
cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pu[[
the wine ce{Iar straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle
or "walk" the wine cellar when trying to move it, as floor
damage could occur.
Emectrica{ Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Fai{are to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or emectrica{ shock.
Before you move your wine cellar into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your wine cellar before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
"Wine Cellar Care."
IMPORTANT:
• Create custom overlay frame according to the specifications
in the "Custom Overlay Frame" section.
• KitchenAid is not responsible for the removal or addition of
molding or decorative frames that would prevent the wine
cellar from being serviced.

WINE CELLAR USE
Your new wine cellar may make sounds that your old one didn't
make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, such as the flooring and surrounding structures, can
make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds
of sounds and what may be making them.
• Your wine cellar is designed to run more efficiently to keep
your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize
energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may
cause your wine cellar to run longer than your old one. You
may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the
compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items
stored inside the wine cellar.
• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your wine cellar.
• You may hear water running into the drain pan when the wine
cellar is defrosting.
• You may hear clicking sounds when the wine cellar starts or
stops running.
4.
Open the door and check to make sure that it closes as easily
as you like. If not, tilt the wine cellar slightly more to the rear
by turning both front leveling screws to the right. It may take
several more turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the
same amount.
Remove the Base Grille:
1. Open the wine cellar door.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the three screws
attaching the base grille to the wine cellar.
For your convenience, your wine cellar control is preset at the
factory. When you first install your wine cellar, make sure that the
control is still preset to the mid-setting as shown.
Colder
Adjusting Controls
The mid-setting indicated in the previous section should be
correct for normal usage. The control is set correctly when
beverages are as cold as you like.
