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 or 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 use. 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.

Installation

This wine refrigerator has been designed for free-standing installation. 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 as long as there is proper ventilation. This product is not designed to be built into a cabinet or recessed setting. You must follow the stated instructions for electrical requirements, and leveling the wine refrigerator.

• Choose a location that has ambient temperatures above 50^ F and below 95^ F. Operation outside these temperatures may lead to lowered efficiency or other adverse effects.
• This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, e.g., wind, rain, water spray or drips.
• The wine refrigerator should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other high heat sources.
• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the wine refrigerator and the wall or cabinet.
• The wine refrigerator should be installed on a firm and level surface that will be able to support the entire weight of a fully loaded unit. It is important for the wine refrigerator to be level in order to work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the wine refrigerator by rotating the feet. See the “Leveling the Wine Refrigerator” section.
• A standard electrical supply (115 VAC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance with National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.

Warning: DO NOT install the wine refrigerator behind a closed cabinet door.

Installation Clearance Requirements

To ensure proper ventilation and service access, allow at least 3" of clearance at the sides and top of the wine refrigerator, and at least 5" of clearance at the back. Do not install this unit in a built-in undercounter setting.

Electrical Requirements

Electrical 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 10-15 Amps.

Recommended Grounding Method

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a power supply cord that has a 3-pronged 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 level 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.

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 and 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.

• Rattling 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.

Door Ajar Alarm

This wine refrigerator includes a door ajar alarm, which will sound if one of the doors is open for more than five (5) minutes. Leaving the door open for extended periods of time will cause poor cooling performance and may shorten the life of the refrigerator. Keep the doors closed as frequently as possible.

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 wine refrigerator 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.

Caution: Store the unit out of reach from 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 refrigerator!

Important:

• Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the unit by pulling on the plug.
