1 Position 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.
2 This unit requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60Hz, 15A circuit
(normal household current).
3 Avoid connecting the unit to a Ground Fault lnterruptor (GH). 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.
4 The unit must be installed according to your local codes and ordinances.

Your Ebctrolux 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
RNAL 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:
Remove five racks with wood trim from unit, see RACK REMOVAL/
INSTALLATION.
2 Remove screws securing wood trim to racks.
3 Lightly scruff sand the molding with 280 grit 3M TrPMqte@ sand@aper.
4 Remove sanding dust with a clean, dry cloth.
5 Apply 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.
6 Lightly sand and reapply if desired.

the staining process.
Remove aUUdust 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.

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).
