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
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.

Operating Instructions
In order to achieve the maxi-
mum storage capacity of
twenty-seven (27) bottles, it
will be necessary to position
the bottles alternately on the
upper six shelves, as shown
in Fig A.This will allow for
the storage of four (4) 750 ml
bottles per rack in each of the
top six shelves, and three (3)
bottles on the bottom shelf for
a total storage capacity of
twenty-seven (27) wine bottles.
If humidity conditions are low,
it will be necessary to use the
humidor. Fill the humidor
about 3/4 full with fresh water,
and place the humidor on the
bottom shelf, as show in Fig B.
Check the water level occa-
sionally and refill as necessary.
NOTE: The use of the
‘humdior’ will reduce the stor-
age capacity of the bottom
rack by one bottle.
Wine
Storage
The *maximum capacity of
the DWC276 is 27 (750ml)
wine bottles.
*When stocked as per
instructions and when the
humidors are not in use.

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.
Important: It is recommended
that you install the wine cooler in
a location that allows the door(s)
to have a greater then 45° open-
ing swing. A limited door swing
will prevent the shelves from
sliding out as intended, and may
lead to damaging the door gas-
ket(s).
•The rough cabinet opening
must be on a level floor area
and at least 24” deep*by 12-1/2”
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.).
Note: If the electrical outlet is
surface mounted (not flush) within
the enclosure, the depth
requirment for the installation be
affected.
•If the electrical outlet is located
inside the adjacent cabinetry,cut
a1-1/2” diameter hole to admit
the power cord.
Fig C
*The listed depth requirment for the installation is assuming that the electrical outlet is located in the adja-
cent cabinetry or is flush mounted in the rear wall, not surface mounted in the enclosure.
