Important
Keep your carton and packaging until your wine cellar has
been thoroughly inspected and found to be in good condi-
tion. If there is damage, the packaging will be needed as
proof of damage in transit. Afterwards please dispose of all
items responsibly in particular the plastic bags which can
be a suffocation hazard.
Note to Customer
This merchandise was carefully packed and thoroughly
inspected before leaving our plant. Responsibility for its
safe delivery was assumed by the retailer upon acceptance
of the shipment. Claims for loss or damage sustained in
transit must be made to the retailer.
DO NOT RETURN DAMAGED MERCHANDISE TO THE
MANUFACTURER - FILE THE CLAIM WITH THE RE-
TAILER.
If the power module was shipped or has been laying on
its side for any period of time allow the power module to
sit upright for a period of at least 24 hours before plugging

Help Prevent Tragedies
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous even if they sit out for "just a few days".
If you are getting rid of your old freezer, please follow
the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator:
•Take off the doors or remove the drawers
•Leave the shelves in place so children may not easily
climb inside.

NOTE
Select Location
Locate the wine cellar in the coolest part of the room, out of
direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or registers.
Do not place the wine cellar next to heat-producing appli-
ances such as a range, oven or dishwasher. If this is not
possible, a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insula-
tion between the two (2) appliances will help the wine cellar
operate more efciently.
Do NOT install the wine cellar where the temperature will
drop below 65 degrees F (18 degrees C) or rise above 90
degrees F (32 degrees C). The compressor will NOT be
able to maintain proper temperatures.

Electrical Requirements:
Provide a 115 volt, 60 cycle, single phase 15 amp, AC re-
ceptacle. It is recommended that a separately fused circuit
(a time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended),
serving only this appliance, be provided. Electrical opening
should be placed 781⁄2" (199.4cm) minimum from the oor.
(See Figure 4).
This product is factory equipped with a power supply
cord that has a three-pronged, grounded plug. It must be
plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in ac-
cordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable
local codes and ordinances. If the circuit does not have a
grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obli-
gation of the customer to provide the proper power supply.
The unit must be installed according to your local building
codes and ordinances.

INSTALLING THE CABINET
Anti - tip Bracket considerations
Before placing the cabinet in opening, the depth of the
cut-out opening should be at least 24" (61cm). If the cut-out
opening depth is more than 24" (61cm), then a piece of
wood must be secured crosswise on the wall into the studs
at the height of the anti-tip brackets. (See Figure 8). Slide
the cabinet into position and level the cabinet with adjust-
able rear roller and front leveling legs. (See Leveling the
unit on page 12).
The anti tip bracket is fastened to the cabinet and runs the
full width of the cabinet. Locate a wall stud behind the cabi-
net and secure the anti-tip bracket with at least (2) #8 x 11⁄2”
screws provided. See Figure 7.

CUSTOM GRILLE FACIA AND DOOR PANELS
Cut the custom overlay panel to the dimensions shown in
Figure 23.
This is also a convenient time to locate and drill the holes
for your handle. Most often the handle is to match that of
the surrounding cabinetry. If your handle attaches from the
back-side of the custom panel, locate the mounting holes
while the panel is attached to the door and cabinet. After
the panel is removed from the door, drill the mounting holes
from the front, to the recommended diameter of the handle
manufacturer. Counter bore the back-side of the panel so
the screw heads do not interfere with the surface of the
door.

Hinge and Gasket Adjustment
It is possible that doors may become out of adjustment in
shipment.
If product is installed slightly “out of level”, doors may not
line up properly. Check this BEFORE adjusting hinges.
Door gaskets occasionally compress in shipment. If gasket
does not seal all around, warm slightly with a hair dryer
and pull outward softly until magnet in gasket seals against
cabinet.
To expose concealed door hinge screws, remove plug but-
tons if present. All hinge sections attached to doors adjust
left or right. Top and bottom cabinet hinges are also adjust-
able in and out. See Figure 25 (shown without cabinet trim).

HINGE AND GASKET ADJUSTMENTS
Step 3: Attach the Overlay Panel to the Door
1. Remove the gasket from the door front. (See Figure
24). Do this by pulling the gasket out of the chan-
nel that holds it to the door front. This will expose the
clearance holes for mounting the custom overlay panel.
(See Figure 24).
2. Set the door on the overlay panel and align edges.
(See Figure 24). Clamp panel in position and mark pilot
hole locations. Pick the required pilot hole size from
"Table C" below and drill the pilot holes ensuring not to
drill all the way through the overlay panel.
Table C: Pilot Hole Drill Sizes for Wood Screws
Material Type #10 Wood Screw
Hardwood 9⁄64" (3.6mm) Diameter

3. Insert wood screws through clearance holes and
tighten to secure overlay panel.
4. Reinstall gasket into channel. Make sure the corners
are fully inserted.
5. Install the door back on the cabinet by reversing the
procedure in Step 1.
