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.

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.

ADJUSTING THE DOOR
Your door is aligned at the factory before shipment. Occasional re-adjustment may
be necessary, especially if an overlay panel is installed. The following procedure
will correct for up to 1/4" alignment.
The door should never be flush with the top of the cabinet. Even when level, the top
edge of the door will be 1/8" below the top of the cabinet (see Figure 14).
To adjust :
1Compare the top edge of the door (opposite the
hinges) to the top edge of the cabinet and note the
type (up or down) of adjustment needed.
2Remove the top hinge pivot pin with a 7/64" hex
wrench (see Figure 15) and lift door off bottom
hinge pin. Be careful not to lose door closers (see
Figure 17).

Operation
THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE FOR WINE
Your Electrolux wine cooler has a unique, triple temperature zone permitting
storage of your finest wines at approximately 60°F (15°C in the top portion of the
cabinet for reds, 50-55°F (10-12°C) in the middle for whites and 45°F (7°C) on the
bottom for sparkling wines). Temperatures noted are product temperatures and not
air temperatures.
PROPER STORAGE
Model E24WC48E will accommodate 48 bottles (750 ML size). Specially designed
wine racks allow for proper horizontal storage of the wine. The cork remains moist,
which keeps air from entering the bottle.
CONTROL SETTINGS
Your wine cooler is shipped in the ON position, however,
you may turn it ON or OFF using the control knob
located in the center of the grille.
Turn the control knob clockwise for ON,
counterclockwise for OFF. To turn the unit OFF, rotate
the control knob counterclockwise all the way toward
warmer until it stops (until “click” is heard). The ON/OFF
switch located to the right of the control knob is used to
turn the inside light on and off (see Figure 19).
LIGHT SWITCH AND BULB
Your wine cooler has an interior light that is illuminated when the door is opened. If
you wish to display your wines for those “special occasions” while the door is
closed, just depress the switch located to the right of the control dial on the grille to
the ON position. Please note when the light is on for an extended period of time it
will increase the cabinet temperature, especially at the top.

18 Start-up and Temperature Control
STARTING THE UNIT
Electrolux wine coolers are designed to provide different temperature zones within
the cabinet so different types of wine may be maintained at varying temperatures.
The coolest temperature is at the bottom, and the warmest is at the top of the
cabinet.
ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
To accurately check the temperature, insert an reliable thermometer into a plastic
(non-breakable) bottle, partially filled with water. Tighten the bottle cap securely
(see Figure 20).
Place the bottle in the desired area for 24 hours. Refrain from opening the unit
during the testing period. After 24 hours, check the temperature of the water. Adjust
the control knob if necessary and retest.
UL320
Figure 20

19
Temperature Control
Your wine cooler is preset for a mid-point
setting (4) in order to achieve the
recommended temperature range when
installed in a 72°F ambient room temperature
(see Figure 21). Adjust the temperature
gradually; move the control knob in small
increments and allow the temperature to
stabilize. For a warmer temperature, move the
knob towards Warmest (counterclockwise/
lower number). For a colder temperature,
move the knob towards Coldest (clockwise/
higher number).
Factors which affect the internal temperatures
of the cabinet include:
1Temperature setting.
2Room temperature where installed.
3Number of times the door is opened and closed.
4Amount of time the internal light is illuminated. This affects primarily wines on
the top racks.
5Installation in direct sun light or near a heat source.

20 Storage
DISPLAY RACK
The bottom rack in your wine cooler is designed for
storage as well as for display purposes (see Figure 22).
Model E24WC48E holds eight bottles in the display rack.
STOCKING RECOMMENDATIONS
The wine racks allow for the proper horizontal storage of wine. The bottles are
properly positioned so that the wine remains in contact with the cork to assure that
the cork does not become dry. Use the procedure listed below to stock your wine
cooler. White and sparkling wines should be maintained on the bottom to middle
racks and red wine on the top racks.
Your wine cooler , models 2015WC and 2075WC, - Delete parenthetical should be
stocked beginning with the bottom display rack, at the back and work forward.
Stagger the bottles as shown in Figure 23. Subsequent racks should be stocked
similarly, starting with the back of each rack (see Figure 24).
