DANGER, RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT!
An empty wine cooler is a very dangerous attraction to children. Remove either the gasket,
latches, lids, lock and/or doors from unused or discarded appliances, or take some other action
to guarantee it harmless.
DON’T WAIT, DO IT NOW!
To reduce the risk of fire, burns, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the following sections;

4
This appliance must be
grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, ground-
ing reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with
a power cord having a ground-
ing wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician
or service technician if the
grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly ground-
ed.
If the outlet is a standard 2-
prong wall outlet, it is your per-
sonal responsibility and obliga-
tion to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
For best operation, plug this
appliance into its own electrical
outlet to prevent flickering of
lights, blowing of fuse or trip-
ping of circuit breaker.
Do not under any circum-
stances cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power
cord.
Do not use an adapter plug
with this appliance.
Do not use an extension cord
with this appliance. If the power
cord is too short, have a quali-
fied electrician or service tech-
nician install an outlet near the
appliance.

While performing installations
described in this section,
gloves, safety glasses or
goggles should be worn.
Tools You Will
Need
Carpenters
Square
Measuring Tape

Electrical Requirements:
The appliance must be
connected to an individual
properly grounded electrical
outlet, protected by a 15 or 20
ampere circuit breaker or time
delay fuse.
•It is recommended that you do
not install the wine cooler into a
corner (i.e. directly beside a
wall). This is to allow the door(s)
to have a greater then 90°
opening swing. A limited door
swing will prevent the shelves
from sliding out as intended, and
may lead to damaging the door
gasket(s).
•The rough cabinet opening
must be on a level floor area and
at least 24” deep*by 24” wide.
The opening should also have a
height of at least 34-1/2”.
• The electrical outlet may be
positioned from within either side
of the adjacent cabinetry, or the
rear of the shaded area (as
shown in Fig C.).
Important: If the electrical outlet
is surface mounted (not flush)
within the enclosure, the depth
requirment for the installation
may be affected.
•If the electrical outlet is located
inside the adjacent cabinetry, cut
a 1-1/2” diameter hole to admit
the power cord.
