Installation

MBWC24 | MWD24-D | MBWC24-2D

Before using your new Wine and/or Beverage Cooler, we recommend leaving Cooler door open and unplugged for 24 hours prior to installation or use. This will allow time to clear any residual odors from the

interior liner and hardwood shelves.

Your Premium Marathon Wine and/or Beverage cooler is engineered for built-in or freestanding installation. The front bottom vent is the ventilation grill and must not be covered.

Choosing the right location for your Marathon Wine and/or Beverage Cooler is important. We highly recommend the following location criteria:

• Unencumbered and well ventilated

• Dry area, not too damp or humid – ideally at maximum 65% relative humidity for peak performance and reduced sweating on the interior door when opening. Preferably not in a laundry room, pantry, garage

or bathroom.

• Flat, level oor

• Approved electrical outlet (preferably with surge protector) within 3 feet of the Wine and/or beverage cooler.

• Minimum 1 meter from any microwave oven. Certain microwave ovens do not have a wave interference shield. When placed too close to the wine or beverage cooler, the performance may be aected.

CAUTION

Your Marathon wine and/or Beverage Cooler is equipped with a three prong power cord which has a ground wire. The plug should never be altered or used with an extension cord or power bar. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in the risk of electric shock. Consult a qualied electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualied person in order to avoid electrical hazard.

Marathon Wine and/or Beverage Coolers are NOT CERTIFIED for outdoor use. Outdoor use will

void your warranty and possibly cause a safety hazard and result in re or personal injury.

Your Marathon Wine and/or Beverage Cooler Wine cellar should be placed where the ambient temperature is regulated (ideally ambient humidity of 65% +/- 5%). If the temperature is above or below this range, it may aect the performance of the Wine and/or beverage cooler. Placing in cold, hot or humid temperature conditions may cause temperature uctuations and increased running operation costs.

Installing your Marathon Wine and/or Beverage Cooler

Unpack and remove all of the protection and adhesive strips from the packaging around and inside the wine and/or beverage cooler.

The appliance must be positioned such that the plug and power outlet is accessible. Release the power cord.

Move your appliance to its nal location. The appliance should be installed in a suitable place where the

compressor will not be subject to physical contact.

1. Please follow the installation diagram when installing built-in wine cellars. No less than the minimum installation dimension, or it will aect the venting of cellar.

2. Built-in wine cellars draw air from right of ventilation frame and expel through left of ventilation frame under the front door.

3. “Built in” wine cellars have a power switch located on the control panel so power point location is not critical.

4. The wine cellar requires a standard 120 volt/15 amp dedicated power supply.

5. The power cord is approx. 6 ft./2M in length and is xed on the right side at the back when looking from front of cabinet.

6. As with most appliances of today, your Marathon appliance has sensitive electronic components which are susceptible to damage through lightning and electricity supply surges. It is therefore advised to use a

surge protected power outlet to avoid power interruptions or damage to the appliance.

In “Extreme and Hot locations”, an air vent or grid, with a minimum ventilation size of 200mm x 40mm MUST be cut out at the rear top of the back partitioning or at the top of either side of the partitioning, allowing cool fresh air full access to ow into the 30mm gap located at the rear of the cabinet.

This air vent or grid must not be opened on the same side as other appliances such as ovens or an area that is

sealed and without access to fresh cool air. Failing to comply with the above specications could result in

WARRANTY void.

Handle Assembly and Ventilation Grill

Installing the Stainless Steel Handle(s) and Ventilation Grill (MBWC24-2D)

To protect your wine and/or beverage cooler while in transit, we have carefully packed the heavy duty stainless steel handles inside the wine cooler for you to assemble. Please see the simple directions below, for any questions or concerns, please contact us.

French Door Model MBWC24-2D

Please note that for model MBWC24-2D, the legs are adjustable to 2 inches to assist with varied counter heights. A minimum of 34.5” height is required for the front ventilation plate to be properly secured once installed. The stainless front ventilation grill is packaged separately in the wine cooler. Once the wine and beverage cooler is leveled and place into the location, the front ventilation grill is easily installed and secured by the 4 stainless screws included.

MBWC24-2D is designed for standard counter high installations which requires adjusting the legs to 34.5” in order to t the standard 5.25” ventilation grill. If you have a custom installation between 32.5”-34.5”, a smaller 3.25” ventilation grill is available by contacting customerservice@stirlingmarathon.com

Use and Care

Once positioned, plug the wine & beverage cooler into the power outlet and turn “ON” by pressing the “Power Button” for 3 seconds.

When you use your Marathon wine and beverage cooler for the rst time (or restart the appliance after having it shut o for a long time), there will be a few degrees variance between the temperature you have selected and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and will adjust to the desired temperature once the compressor and cooling system has been running for several hours.

Important: If the unit is unplugged, power is lost, or turned o, wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. The compressor will not re-start immediately and requires this time to automatically re-start.

Frost Free Fan Cooled Operation

Your Marathon is engineered with a high eciency compressor cooling system that uses a fan to cool and regulate your desired temperature setting and is Frost Free. This means you never have to worry about defrosting your wine and beverage cooler and it will provide years of hassle free enjoyment. Like all Frost Free, compressor appliances, you will hear the fan operating and the compressor cycling on and o while it also defrosts itself. The following sounds will most likely occur during normal operation:

• Gurgling sound - caused by the refrigerant owing through the appliance’s coils.

• Cracking/popping sounds - resulting from the contraction and expansion of the refrigerant gas to produce cold.

• Fan operating sound - to circulate the air within the wine cellar.

Loading your Wine & Beverage Cooler

Depending on the bottle size, you can load your wine bottles in single or double rows provided the bottles are evenly distributed throughout the wine and/or beverage cooler with small gaps between bottles to ensure peak chilling and energy eciency.

Model MBWC24 (Single Zone Wine and Beverage Cooler)

For your convenience, the MBWC24 is convertible from a single zone wine cooler to a full or combination beverage cooler with the tempered glass shelf inserts. For ease of refrigerating cans, the tempered glass shelves should be used so that the cans t at on the shelf to maximize the capacity. For chilling wine bottles, simply remove the tempered glass shelf inserts and place the bottles on the beechwood shelves for

optimum chilling. The shelves also pull out and adjustable.

Model MWC24-D (Dual Zone Wine Cooler)

• Do not remove adjustable wooden shelves to accommodate larger type of bottles or increase the capacity of the cellar by stacking the bottles up when necessary. (See removing shelves)

ATTENTION

• Do not overload your wine cellar as this will aect air circulation.

• Do not stack more than 1.5 rows of standard 750ML bottles per shelves to facilitate air circulation

• Avoid obstructing the fan cooled system located inside the wine and beverage cooler at the back panel.

• Do not slide the shelves outwards beyond the xed position to prevent the bottles from falling

• Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time as this may cause the wine cellar to tilt forward.

• Do not cover the wooden shelves with aluminum foil or other materials, as it will obstruct air circulation.

• Do not move your wine and beverage cooler when it is loaded with cans or bottles

LED Temperature Control

Important: The LED temperature displays the actual internal air temperature of your Marathon Wine and/or

Beverage cooler.

The temperature settings are preset at the factory and in the event of a power interruption, all previous temperature settings are automatically erased and it will revert back to the factory preset temperature settings.

Once you program your desired temperature setting, it is strongly recommended not to adjust frequently. The thermostat is accurate and will maintain the temperature inside the wine cellar +/- 2.5º C. Please note that the depending on the thickness of the wine bottle, and loading, the actual temperature of the wine may dier from the wine and beverage cooler setting by +/- 1ºC.
