Installation
INSTALLING THE WINE COOLER
Your Electrolux wine cooler has been designed for either free-standing or built-in
installation(refer to the Built-in Installation section of this manual for instructions).
In either case, the front grille must NOT be obstructed.
SITE PREPERATION
1Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the entire
weight of the unit. Remember the unit will be significantly heavier once it is
fully loaded.
2This unit requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60Hz, 15A circuit
(normal household current).
3Avoid connecting the unit to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI). GFIs are prone
to nuisance tripping which will cause the unit to shut down. GFIs are generally
not used on circuits which power equipment that must run unattended for
long periods of time.
4The unit must be installed according to your local codes and ordinances.

contact a qualified electrician to have it replaced in accordance with applicable
electrical codes.

Wood Trim
WINE RACKS WITH WOOD TRIM
Your Electrolux wine cooler is equipped with a natural wood trim on the wine racks
for appearance and durability. The wood trim has been coated at the factory with a
clear vinyl sealer, which will adequately protect the wood in normal usage.
You have 3 options regarding the wood trim on the wine racks.
(1) You can leave as is, (2) add a final finish coat or (3) you may stain the wood
trim. The final finish coat was not applied at the factory so that the wood trim could
be stained. YOU CANNOT STAIN THE WOOD TRIM ONCE YOU APPLY THE
FINAL FINISH. Review the following guidelines when staining and or sealing the
wood to ensure proper adhesion and durability of the finish.
To add a final finish coat:
1Remove five racks with wood trim from unit, see RACK REMOVAL/
INSTALLATION.
2Remove screws securing wood trim to racks.
3Lightly scruff sand the molding with 280 grit 3M Tri-M-Ite® sand-paper.
4Remove sanding dust with a clean, dry cloth.
5Apply a thin coat of a clear protective finish; the factory-applied seal is
compatible with virtually all finishes. A low odor, water clean up, quick drying
finish such as Minwax Polycrylic® is recommended. Follow container label
for directions.
6Lightly sand and reapply if desired.

CAUTIONUTION
UTIONUTION
UTION
To prevent permanent damage to the inner liner of your wine cooler , the wine rack
wood trim MUST be removed from the unit for staining and/or finishing. Allow stain/
finish to dry thoroughly (at least 24 hours per coat) in accordance with the stain/finish
manufacturer’s instructions prior to re-installing the wood trim inside the cabinet of the
wine cooler . Failure to do so may cause the inner liner of the unit to have a permanent
odor, which is not covered by the warranty.

10 Wood Trim
To stain for a different wood color:
1Remove five racks with wood trim from unit, see Rack Removal/
Installation.
2Remove screws securing wood trim to racks.
3Apply Minwax Water-Based Wood Stain® to wood with a synthetic foam
brush. Stain must penetrate approximately 3 minutes. After this period, while
stain is still wet, take a stain dampened rag and remove all excess stain.
Wipe in the direction of the grain with medium pressure to achieve the
desired stain color.
4After 2 hours, repeat step three. This will even out the color of the wood.
5Allow stain to dry for a minimum of 3 hours before finishing.
6If desired sand the wood with very fine sandpaper to smooth the surface from
the staining process.
7Remove all dust from the wood. Apply one coat of Minwax Ultra Fast-Drying
Polycrylic Protective Finish® with a synthetic foam brush to the wood. This
finish should be applied in a thin coat following the direction of the grain. First
apply the finish to the back and sides of the wood. Allow this to dry for two
hours. Next apply the finish to the front side of the wood and allow to dry for
two hours. Sand with very fine sandpaper (220 grit). Reapply in the same
manner 3 times total. After the third coat do not sand the surface.
8Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before installing the wood to the wine
cooler racks.
