Installation Instructions
LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS
Beneath the wine cooler there are two leveling legs that are located on either side of
the vent. It is important that your wine cooler is level. To level the unit:
1. Move the wine cooler to its fi nal location.
2. Have someone gently lean against the front of the wine cooler to take some
weight off the leveling legs.
3. Turn the leveling legs clockwise to raise the wine cooler or counter-clockwise to
lower it. Continue in this manner until the wine cooler is level.
LOCATION
Selecting the proper location will ensure peak performance levels for your appliance. Choose a location where the unit
will not be exposed to heat emitting sources (e.g. a fi replace or stove). The wine cooler should not be exposed to direct
sunlight. Do not use product near water, for example in a wet basement or near a sink.
NOTE: This unit is front breathing. Do not
block the front air vent. Blockage of the vent
will result in high operating temperatures and
system failure.
PREPARING THE ENCLOSURE
Tools you will need:
While performing installations described in this section, gloves and safety glasses or goggles should be worn.
Electrical Requirements:
The appliance must be connected to an individual, properly grounded electrical outlet, protected by a 15 or 20 ampere
circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
•
It is recommended that you do not install the unit into a corner (i.e. directly beside a wall). This is to allow the door to
have a greater than 90° opening swing. A limited door swing may lead to damaging the door gasket, however, if it is
necessary to install the unit in a corner, be sure to allow 2-4 inches of clearance at each side.
•
The rough cabinet opening must be on a level fl oor area and at least 28 11/16" (72.9 cm) deep by 23 3/4" (60.1 cm)
wide (min). The opening should also have a height of at least 69 8/16" (176.5 cm). There should be a clearance of at
least 2.5" (6.5 cm) between the rear of the unit and the back wall to allow heat to dissipate.
•
The electrical outlet may be positioned from within either side of the adjacent cabinetry, or the rear of the shaded area
(as shown in Fig. 2).
•
If the electrical outlet is located inside the adjacent cabinetry, cut a 1-1/2" (3.81 cm) diameter hole to admit the power
cord. If the cabinet wall is metal, the hole edge must be covered with a bushing or grommet.
