INSTALLATION

Remove all packing material before using your wine & beverage center.
IMPORTANT: Before connecting the unit to a 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 for freestanding or built in installation but indoor use only. Position the unit in a dry and
well-ventilated place. Avoid placing the wine & beverage center 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 41°F.
For built-in installation, leave a 1/4" (6.35 mm) space on each side and at the top of the wine & beverage
center to ensure proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. Also, be sure to not obstruct
the front exhaust vent with any objects as this may affect the unit from performing properly.
For freestanding installation, leave 2" of space at the back, 3/4" of space on each side, and unlimited clearance
at the top of the wine & beverage center are suggested to ensure proper air circulation to cool the compressor
and condenser. Do not place underneath a table, counter top, or anything of the sort as this will not allow for
proper air circulation.
Do not slide the unit into place.
Place the wine & beverage center on a level surface strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level
the wine & beverage center, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom of the wine & beverage center.
For best performance it is recommended that you install the appliance in a location with an ambient
temperature between 41-100°F. If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures,
the performance of the unit may be affected.
Plug the wine & beverage center into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet.
