Installing Your Wine Cooler

Unpacking your Wine Cooler

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the base and all adhesive tape holding the wine cooler accessories inside and outside.

2. Inspect and remove any packing, tape or printed materials before powering on the wine cooler.

Leveling your Wine Cooler

Your wine cooler has 4 leveling legs. After properly placing your wine cooler in its final position, you can level your wine cooler if there is uneven flooring.

Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your wine cooler or by turning them counterclockwise to lower your wine cooler.

Install the legs by screwing in the legs into the preset screw holes. (Please note that the leg which stands on the hinge is the shorter leg.)

Proper Air Circulation

To assure your wine cooler works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation and electrical connections.

The following are recommended clearances around the wine cooler:

Sides 6 inches

Top

Back

6 inches

6 inches

Do not over fill your wine cooler for proper internal air circulation.

NOTE: Allow enough space in the front of the unit to open the door to 120°.

Electrical Requirement

Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 V 60Hz,15 Amps outlet) with proper earthing to power the wine cooler.

Avoid the use of two pin adapters or cutting off the third earthing pin in order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the wine cooler and may result in shock hazard.

Use of Extension Cords

Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3 wire extension cord that has a 3 blade grounding plug and a 3 slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. (2 Ampere).

Install Limitations

Do not install your wine cooler in any location not properly insulated or heated e.g. garage etc.

Select a suitable location for the wine cooler on a hard even surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any surface unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front and rear bottom corners of the wine cooler. Avoid placing unit where there may be electrical interference.

Your wine cooler is designed for free standing installation only. It is not designed for built in application.

NOTE: To minimize the risk of rusting, leakage and insulation damage, avoid placing the unit in a place where heavy moisture is present. Under no circumstances spill or directly apply water onto or into the unit.

Installing Door Handle

Certain models come with the door handle as a separate part during shipping.

To install the handle, open the cabinet door and carefully peel back the rubber seal at the location of the handle. Screw holes will be exposed. Align the handle and use the included hardware to secure it to the door.

Installing Water Tray

The purpose of the water tray is to receive the condensed water drained from the cavity. The collected water will be self evaporated so there is no need to manually empty the water.

To install the water tray, simply sliding in the water tray along the track which located beneath the cabinet body. The tray should be slide from the back of the cabinet.
