Pushing the wine conditioning unit into the niche
Then push the wine conditioning unit into the niche, taking care not to damage the electrical cord.
If you are installing several appliances side by side, secure the wine conditioning units/refrigeration appliances to one another now (see the installation instructions for the side-by-side installation kit).
To ensure that the wine conditioning unit can then be aligned correctly, the toe-kick ventilation grille must be removed from the appliance toe-kick:
Carefully guide a flat-head screwdriver through the toe-kick ventilation grille on both sides and use it to push the internal plastic latches outwards to release the toe-kick ventilation grille.
Place the toe-kick ventilation grille to one side.
