WINE CELLAR SAFETY

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.

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.

Unpack the Door

Remove the wine cellar door from the box.

Remove the cardboard and set aside for later use. Be sure to properly dispose of all packaging materials when installation

is complete. NOTE: Place the cardboard on a level floor and use during

assembly to protect the wine cellar door and overlay frame from scratches.

Remove the Gasket

1. Place the wine cellar door on the cardboard with the door

gasket facing upward.

Remove the adhesive protection-strip from one piece of the cut foam tape. Align the edge of the foam tape with the inside edge of the overlay frame, and adhere tape to the overlay. Repeat Step 2 for all four sides.

Remove the door gasket by pulling from the middle and proceeding outward, moving toward the edge.

NOTE: To keep the door gasket from tearing, use care when pulling it out of the groove.

Move the wine cellar into its final location.

Turn the leveling legs to the right to lower the wine cellar or turn the leveling legs to the left to raise it. It may take several turns of the leveling legs to adjust the tilt of the wine cellar.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the wine cellar takes some weight off the leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the leveling legs.

1. Open the wine cellar door.

2. Position the base grille so that the holes are aligned and replace the three screws.

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.

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.
