Then gently push the wood cabinet against the selected wall.
b. Avoid the use of three plug adaptors and do not alter the plug under any circumstance.
c. 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 or greater that the electrical rating of the appliance.
4. Venting:
a. The wine cooler is rated for built-in use. However, proper ventilation must still be maintained in
order to insure the proper function and reliability of the unit.
