Installation
The FWC100 Wine Cellar is designed to be either free-standing or built-in. It has a fan at
the bottom of the unit to direct compressor-generated heat away from the compressor and
through the front of the unit. There must be a minimum of 3" of space around both sides
and the back of the appliance and the airflow from the vents at the front of the system must
be unimpeded.
Once the unit is positioned, the leveling leg should be turned to level the Wine Cellar.
Electrical Connection
Important! For your personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly grounded
and installed. Consult a qualified electrician if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
Use of Extension Cords
Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain condi-
tions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, be sure to use only a 3-wire extension
cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug. Use a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The
marked rating of the extension cord must be equal or greater than the electrical rating of
the appliance.
