InStALLAtIOn

This Use & Care Guide provides general operating
instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as
instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the
wine cooler, follow these important first steps.
Location
• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical
outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter
plug.
• For optimal performance, it is recommended that
you install the wine cooler where the ambient
temperature is between 70 and 78 degrees
fahrenheit.
• Allow space around the unit for good air circulation.
Leave a 2 inch space on the back and sides of the
wine cooler for adequate circulation.
• Be sure the wine cooler stays in the upright position
during transport.
• Keep the wine cooler from any hazardous or
combustible agents.

nOtE
The exterior walls of the wine cooler may become quite
warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from
the inside. Temperatures as much as 30° F warmer
than room temperature can be expected. For this
reason it is particularly important in hotter climates to
allow enough space for air circulation around your wine
cooler.
Leveling
The wine cooler must have all bottom corners resting
firmly on solid floor. The floor must be strong enough
to support a fully loaded wine cooler. NOTE: It is Very
Important for your wine cooler to be level in order to
function properly. If the wine cooler is not leveled during
installation, the door may be misaligned and not close
or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture
problems.
To Level Your Wine Cooler:
After removing all interior and exterior packaging
materials, use a carpenter's level to level the wine cooler
from front-to-back. Adjust the leveling legs in front, ½
bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left
halfway open.

Cleaning
• Wash any removable parts of the wine cooler interior,
and exterior with mild detergent and warm water.
Wipe dry. Do not use harsh cleaners on these
surfaces.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments,
which can scratch the appliance surface when
removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape
can be removed with a mixture of warm water and
mild detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky
side of tape already removed. Do not remove the
serial plate.
Important Safeguards: Do not store food in your wine
cooler as interior temperature may not get cool enough
to prevent spoilage. In summer months or areas of high
humidity, the glass door may build up moisture. To
remove the moisture, wipe it away.
