INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
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.
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Install the handle on the door.
INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE
The appliances are designed to be for built-in or recessed or free standing installation.
WARNING: Do not store or install the appliance outdoors.
CAUTION: This appliance is designed for storing and cooling wines. Do not store perishable food,
medicine or other medical products.
Place your appliance on a hard and level floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully
loaded.
We do not recommend installing the appliance on carpet.
To level your appliance, adjust the front leveling leg at the bottom of the appliance if needed.
For free standing installation, 5 inches (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the
appliance are suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and
condenser. Even for built-in installation, it is a must to keep a ¼” (6.35mm) space on each side and at
the top. And the air vent at the front of the appliance must never be covered or blocked in any way.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator or other heating
source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. For best performance, do not install the appliance behind a cabinet door or block the
base grille.
Avoid locating the appliance in area that may be exposed to excessive moisture.
Plug in the appliance into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall power outlet. Do not under
any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a qualified electrician or an authorized
service center.
