Installation - Vinotemp Element EL-36TD180 Owner's Manual

INSTALLATION

Remove all packing material before using your wine cooler.
Check to be sure you have all of the parts and an owner's manual.
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.
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
Place the wine cooler on a flat, dry surface that is 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 wine cooler.
This unit is designed for freestanding or built-in installation but indoor use only. Position the unit in a dry and
ventilated place. Avoid placing the wine 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 41°F.
For built-in installation, leave ¼" (6.35mm) space on each side and at the top of the wine cooler to ensure
proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. Also, be sure to not obstr uct the front exhaust
vent with any objects as this may affect the unit from performing properly.
For freestanding installation, leave a minimum of 10-12 inches (25.4-30.4 cm) clearance on each side, 6
inches (15.2 cm) clearance at the back side, and unlim ited clearance at the top of the wine cooler are
suggested to ensure proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. Do not place underneath
a table, countertop, or anything of the sort as this will not allow for proper air circulation.
For best performance, it is recommended that you install the appliance in a location with an ambient
temperature between 41°F - 100°F. If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures,
the performance of the unit may be affected.
Do not plug unit into the same outlet as a refrigerator or microwave.
Do not place heavy articles on the top of the cellar.
Do not slide the unit into place.
Plug the wine cooler into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet.
