Installing the Wine refrigerator
The wine refrigerator should be installed in accordance with local
electrical code requirements. The wine refrigerator should also be placed
in a location that is strong enough to support its total weight, keeping in
mind that it will weigh substantially more when fully loaded than when
empty.
Before you plug the wine refrigerator into a power supply, be sure to let it
stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s oils to settle.
Unpacking the Wine refrigerator
WARNING: Use two more people to move and install the wine
refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. Carefully
remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and glue
from your wine refrigerator before using. Do not use sharp instruments,
rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or
glue. These products can damage the surface of your wine refrigerator.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove any safety, warning, or product information
labels from your wine refrigerator.
Types of Installation
This wine refrigerator has been designed for free-standing, or built-in
installation. In every case, there must be adequate ventilation and access
for service.
Free-standing installation:
A free-standing installation will allow you to install the wine refrigerator in
almost any place you desire. You must follow the stated instructions for
electrical requirements, and leveling the wine refrigerator.
Built-in installation:
A recessed installation will allow you to install the beverage cooler under
a counter or in a kitchen cabinet provided the required clearance space
around the beverage cooler is followed.
It is necessary to allow adequate ventilation space around the unit (make
sure there is at least some ventilation room for the back of the unit). The
following additional items must be observed.
1. Place the wine refrigerator in front of the installation location. Adjust
the feet and place the unit flat on the floor or on a platform depending
on your installation requirements.
2. If the electrical outlet for the wine refrigerator is behind the cabinet,
plug in the wine refrigerator.
3. Push the wine refrigerator into position.
WARNING: Do NOT install the wine refrigerator behind a closed cabinet
door.

Installation Clearance Requirements
When installing the wine refrigerator under a counter, follow the
recommended spacing dimensions shown.
• To ensure proper service access and ventilation, allow at least 2/5”
clearance at the back, 1/5” at top and 1/5” at sides. The installation
should allow the unit to be pulled forward for servicing, if necessary.

Electrical Requirements
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD!
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Never remove the grounding prong from the plug.
Never use an adapter to bypass the grounding prong.
DO NOT use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire,
electrical shock, or death.
Before you move your wine refrigerator into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection:
A standard electrical supply (115 V, 60Hz), properly grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances, is required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your wine
refrigerator, be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a
switch or pull chain.
The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 3 Amps.
Recommended grounding method
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. It is equipped
with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize
possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-pronged
wall socket, and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall socket is not
available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a
properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified
electrician.
Leveling the Wine Refrigerator
It is important for the wine refrigerator to be leveled in order to work
properly. It can be raised or lowered by rotating the plastic sheaths
around each of the feet on the bottom of the machine. If you find that the
surface is not level, rotate the feet until the wine refrigerator becomes
level .You may need to make several adjustments to level it. We
recommend using a carpenter’s level to check the machine.
1. Place a carpenter’s level on top of the product to see if the wine
refrigerator is level from front to back and side to side.
2. Adjust the height of the feet as follows:
Turn the leveling feet to the right to lower that side of the refrigerator.
Turn the leveling feet to the left to raise that side of the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT: Once you are ready to install it in a cabinet or directly on
the floor, you must adjust the feet to level the wine refrigerator.

Installing the Door Handle
To install the door handle:
1. Open the door and carefully pull the door gasket around the area

Normal Sounds
Your new wine refrigerator may make sounds that are not familiar to
you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the
floor, walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually
are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new
to you and what may be making them.
Ratting noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the
water line, Items stored on top of the wine refrigerator can also
make noises.
The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-
pitched sound.
Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a
splashing sound.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the
refrigerant flowing in your wine refrigerator.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
Defrosting
Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will
automatically defrost under most ambient conditions. However, on
colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, the more
humid the ambient conditions, the more frost may build up. Keep
the door closed as much as possible and avoid opening the door
unnecessarily to minimize frost build-up.
If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need
to power the unit off until the frost melts. Use a soft absorbent towel
to dry the unit.
WARNING: Never attempt to remove frost with a sharp object!
Preparing the Wine Refrigerator for Storage
If the wine refrigerator will not be used for a long time, or is to be
moved to another place, it will be necessary to defrost the unit and
dry the interior.
1. Disconnect the cooler from the power supply by removing the
power plug from the wall socket.
2. Leave the door open to allow for air circulation and to prevent
mold, mildew and unpleasant smells.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not touch the power plug
when your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the unit by
pulling on the plug.
CAUTION: Store the unit out of the reach of children. If you have
children, you may want to take additional precautions such as
removing the door to prevent a child from being trapped inside the
cooler!
