2. Cooling Unit Installation
• The cooling unit produces cooling that is supplied into the cabinet, meanwhile
it also generates heat that must be exhausted outside of the cabinet. So the
cold-air supply with return-air intake, and hot-air exhaust with ambient-air side
must be separated and sealed. Foam tape gasket may be used to seal them.
The cooling unit must intake adequate fresh ambient-air to work properly. The
ambient-air intake and hot-air exhaust must not be short-circulated. A piece of
wood may be used to separate them.
• Cut a rectangular inside opening at the rear of the cabinet, with 1/4" clearance
inwards toward the width and height of the cooling unit. Without going through,
leave 1/2" lip inside the wall to place the gaskets (see Fig. 2.1 & 2.2).
• If top exhaust installation, cut another rectangular opening at the top of the
cabinet to the length and width of the top exhaust (see Fig. 2.1 & 2.3).
• Install 2 pieces of 1/4" ID wood thread inserts at the ceiling (see Fig. 2.1 &
2.4).
• Place the gaskets (1/2" foam tape) on the gasket lips (see Fig. 2.1 & 2.5).
• If top exhaust installation, place another gasket along the top exhaust at the
top of the cooling unit (see Fig. 2.1 & 2.6).
• Move the cooling unit towards the mounting sides and push to press the
gaskets into place.
• Use 2 mounting brackets and 1/4" screws with 7/16" wrench to secure the
cooling unit (see Fig. 2.7).
• Install the front cover using two #8 screws on each side (see Fig. 2.8).
• Install the wall grille at the back of the cabinet (see Fig. 2.11).
• Plug the cooling unit in the cabinet receptacle.
• Plug in the wine cabinet.
