INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Wine Cellar:
•
•
Remove any exterior and interior packing material.
Check to be sure the following parts are included:
o For 16 Bottle Wine Cellar, 3 slide out shelves.
o 1 instruction manual.
•
Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand
upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of
a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
•
•
•
Place your appliance on a surface that is strong enough to support
the appliance when it is fully loaded.
To level your appliance, adjust the front legs at the bottom of the
appliance.
Designed for freestanding installation only, 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. Several inches clearance is
required at rear for proper air circulation.
•
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
OPERATING YOUR WINE CELLAR
It is recommended that you install the wine cellar in a place where the
ambient temperature is between 50-80°F. If the ambient temperature
is above or below recommended temperature, the performance of the
unit may be affected. Placing in extreme cold or hot conditions may
cause interior temperature to fluctuate. The range of 54-66°F may not
be reached. Not intended for garage or basement installs. The
temperature may fluctuate depending on whether or not the interior
light is on or off or whether the bottles are located on the upper/middle
or lower section. Close the cellar door immediately after putting in any
items so the inside temperature will not rise dramatically.
