INSTALLATION
BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
Remove any exterior and interior packing material.
Check to be sure all parts including an accessory kit and 1 owner’s manual.
IMPORTANT: Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for
approximately 24 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system
from handling during transportation.
This unit is designed to be built-in (fully recessed) or free standing.
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth
INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE
This unit is designed for indoor use only. Position the unit in a dry and well-ventilated place. Avoid
placing the cooler near any source of heat or moisture, or in direct sunlight. Do NOT install the
unit in a location with an ambient temperature that will fall below 60°F.
For freestanding installation, 5” of space at the back and both sides are suggested to ensure
proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
For built-in installation, leave a ¼” (6.35mm) space on each side and at the top, and 1-2” at the
back of the wine cooler to ensure proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
Also, be sure to not obstruct the front exhaust vent with anything as this may prevent the unit from
performing properly.
Place the appliance on a level surface strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To
level the wine cooler, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom of the unit.
For best performance it is recommended that you install the appliance in a location with an
ambient temperature between 60°-90°F. If the ambient temperature is above or below
recommended temperatures, the performance of the unit may be affected.
It is recommended that you do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator or other heating
source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Don’t install in a location where the temperature will fall below 60°F.
Do not store or install the appliance outdoors, in a garage, basement, or in moist areas.
Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet.
Do not lift unit by the door handle.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the wine cooler.
To level your appliance, adjust the front legs at the bottom of the appliance.
DOOR HANDLE INSTALLATION
Gently pull away the door gasket in the area where the door handle is to be installed. The
gasket is easily replaced by hand – no tools are required.
Use a Philips head screwdriver to remove/install the screws that secure the door handle. Do
not over tighten the screws as this will cause damage to the handle.
If needed, use a flat had screwdriver to remove the two decorative plugs from the front of the
door on the side of the cooler that you would like the handle to be installed on. Save the plugs
for future use.
Replace the door gasket to its original position. Insert plugs into open door holes if desired.
