FREE-STANDING INSTALLATION ONLY!

FOLLOW WARNING CALLOUTS BELOW ONLY WHEN APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL.

• Use two or more people to move and install appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other
injury.

• To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front, back, sides and top of the unit must be
completely unobstructed . Choos e a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and
below 90°F (32°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind,
rain, water spray or drips.

• The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.

• The appliance must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance with

state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.

• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the appliance.

• The size of the fuse (or circuit breaker) should be 15 amperes.

• It is important that the appliance be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several

adjustments to level it.

• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

• Make certain that the pipes are not pinched, kinked or damaged during installation.

• Check for leaks after connection.

• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance.

• Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may damage or

discolor the interior.

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Instruction Manual.

• Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas. Clearances between the doors and between the doors and

cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.

Risk of child entrapment!

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are
still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days”.

Before discarding your old refrigerator:

• Take off the doors

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Installation Instructions

Your SWC1925 wine cellar must not be recessed or built into an enclosure. It must be installed
free-standing, allowing plenty of clearance at the b ac k, sid es a nd top. Be particularly careful to keep
the front of the unit clear of obstruct ions, especially the vents at t he bot tom.

Before using your wine cellar:

• Remove the exterior and int er ior packing.

• Never lift the unit by the door handle.

• Never install or operate th e unit behind closed cabinet doors.

• Before connecting the app liance t o the pow er source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours .

This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.

• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

• Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully

loaded.

• To level your appliance, adjust the front le gs at t he bot t om of t he appliance.

To Install the Door Handle:

For shipment, the door handle has been stored at the back of the unit. To install the handle, the door
gasket should be gently pulled back where it covers the screw holes for the handle, then the handle
should be attached by screwing it into place with the two screws which are packed in the plastic bag
with this Instruction Manual.

Reversing the Door Swing:

As you received your wine ce llar, the door swings open at the left. I f y ou wish to reverse the swing so
that the door opens from the right, it is most important to have at least one other person to help.

It is very dangerous to try to reverse the door swing by yourself. Now, unscrew the upper door

hinge while the second person supports the door. Remove the upper hinge and carefully lift the door
off the bottom hinge. Unscrew the bottom hinge and install it on the left side of the unit. Flip the door
around so that the handle is on the right side and slip the door over the bottom hinge. Reattach the
door by screwing the top hinge into the holes provided on the upper left surface of the unit. Make
adjustments as necessary to be sure the door is aligned pro per ly.
