BEFOR FIRST USE
Before installation
Before connecting the wine cooler to the power source, let it stand upright for
approximately 4 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling
system from improper handling during transportation. Clean the interior surface with
lukewarm water using a soft cloth (see Maintenance and Cleaning).
Installation
• This wine cooler is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or
built-in.
• Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the wine cooler, which
allows the proper air venti- lation. Adjust the feet to keep the wine cooler level.
Locate the wine cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater,
radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may
increase electrical consumption. Ambient temperature below 5°C or above 32°C
will hinder the perfor- mance of this appliance.
• Depending on the location of the appliance, the direction of the door opens can be
changed.
• This unit is not designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation.
• Avoid locating the wine cooler in moist areas.
• Plug the wine cooler into dedicated, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not
under any circumstan- ces cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power
cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed
toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.
• This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV or used with an inverter.
• After plugging the wine cooler into a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the unit
to cool down for 3-4 hours under before placing wine bottles or beverages in the
appliance.
• Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure, clear of obstruction.
