DANGER, RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT!
An empty refrigerator 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
grounding wire with a ground-
ing plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and ground-
ed.
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 electri-
cal outlet to prevent flickering
of lights, blowing of fuse or
tripping 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 qualified electrician or serv-
ice technician install an outlet
near the appliance.

cabinet.
To reinstall a roller-shelf:
1. Set the shelf’s wheels upon
the front of the wheel track.
2. Tilt the front of the shelf
slightly upwards (approxi-
mately 15°), and begin to
gently slide the shelf into the
cabinet until the shelf’s roller-
wheels slide naturally within
the wheel track.
To remove the bottom shelf:

Fig A. This will allow for the stor-
age of nine (9) 750 ml bottles per
shelf in each of the top five
shelves, and six (6) bottles on the
bottom shelf (Fig B), for a total
storage capacity of fifty-one (51)
wine bottles.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:
While performing installa-
tions described in this
section, gloves, safety
glasses or goggles should
be worn.

Need

Electrical
Requirements:
The appliance must be
connected to an individual
properly grounded electri-
cal 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 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.
•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 3/4”.
• The electrical oulet may be
positioned from within either
side of the adjacent cabinetry,
or the rear of the shaded area
(as shown in Fig E).
•If the electrical outlet is locat-
ed inside the adjacent cabi-
netry, cut a 1-1/2” diameter
hole to admit the power cord.
If the cabinet wall is metal, the
hole edge must be covered
with a bushing or grommet.

Helpful Hints Allow the wine door to remain
open for a few minutes after
manual cleaning to air out and
dry the inside of the wine cool-
er cabinet
NOTE: Be certain the
power is off before
cleaning any part of
this appliance.
How to Clean
the Inside Walls, Floor, Inside
Window, and Shelves
Some water deposits and dust
can be removed with a dry
paper towel, others may
require a damp cloth.
Care and Cleaning
How to Clean
the Outside Outer Case
It’s important to keep the area
clean where the door seals
against the cabinet. Clean this
area with a sudsy cloth. Rinse
and then dry.
Door surface
Use only mild, non-abrasive
detergents applied with a clean
sponge or soft cloth. Rinse
well.
Control Panel and
Door
Wipe with a damp cloth and
dry thoroughly. Do not use
cleaning sprays, large
amounts of soap and water,
abrasive or sharp objects on
the panel-they can damage it.
Some paper towels may also
scratch the control panel and
door glass.
Do not use cleaners con-
taining ammonia or alcohol
on the wine cooler.
Ammonia or alcohol can
damage the appearance of
the appliance.
Never use any commercial
or abrasive cleaners or
sharp objects on any part
