Design Guide
THE INSTALLATION SPACE
*For a standard installation of Custom-Framed unit: The
product must be installed so that the front face will project 2"
forward of adjacent cabinets. This position will allow a full door
swing and prevent interference with adjacent cabinetry. The
opening between cabinets must be 23-3/4" minimum.
*For a standard installation of Stainless Steel unit: The product
must be installed so that the front face will project 1-3/4"
forward of adjacent cabinets. This position will allow a full door
swing and prevent interference with adjacent cabinetry. The
opening between cabinets must be 23-3/4" minimum.
**For a flush installation of Stainless Steel unit: Install a
1/2"-wide ller strip on the hinge side. The ller strip will act as
a spacer between the door case and adjacent cabinets and will
prevent interference with the cabinet door swing. Recess the
ller strip 2" back from the front face of the unit, or even with
the front edge of the product case (behind the gasket). The width
of the opening must be 24-1/4" (including the 1/2" ller strip).
***For a flush installation of Custom-Framed unit: Install a
1"-wide ller strip on the hinge side. The ller strip will act as
a spacer between the door case and adjacent cabinets and
will prevent interference with the cabinet door swing. Recess
the ller strip 2" back from the front face of the unit, or even with
the front edge of the product case (behind the gasket). The width
of the opening must be 24-3/4" (including the 1" ller strip).
• The wine chiller, wine reserve and beverage center can
be installed freestanding.
Additional Specifications
• A 120 volt 60Hz., 15 or 20 amp power supply is required.
An individual properly grounded branch circuit or circuit
breaker is recommended. Install a properly grounded

PRODUCT CLEARANCES
The stainless steel wine chiller, wine reserve and
beverage center is factory set for a 110° door swing.
Models that accept custom panels have a 95° door
swing.
When installed in a corner:
• Allow 4" min. clearance on the hinge side for the 90°
door swing and to allow racks to slide out.
• Allow 10" minimum clearance on the hinge side for
a full 110° door swing. (Models ZDWI240WII and
ZDBI240WII have a 95° door swing.)
NOTE: Custom handle clearances may vary, depending
on custom handle depth.
• The door swing is reversible on all models. If desired,
change the door swing before installation or before
installing the custom frame panel.
Choose the location:
• These products may be closed in on the top and
three sides as long as the front is unobstructed for air
circulation and proper access to the door.

wide minimum opening for standard installation and
a 48-1/2"-wide minimum opening for ush installation
of stainless steel models. A 49-1/2"-wide minimum
opening is required for side-by-side ush installation

IMPORTANT –Please read carefully.
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualied
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it
is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT
OR REMOVE THE THIRD
(GROUND) PRONG
FROM THE POWER CORD.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO CONNECT THE
REFRIGERATOR TO A 2-PRONG OUTLET.

STAINING WOOD DRAWER FRONTS
The drawer fronts are unnished cherry wood. During
use, oil from hands may accumulate and stain the
wood.

the stained wood appear darker. A true color match
can be seen only when the door is opened.
• Apply the stain and sealer according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. To avoid unpleasant
odor, keep the door open to ventilate and allow
the stain/sealer to dry completely before using

These models require a custom panel frame surrounding
the glass. There are two options: the panel may be 29-3/4"
or 30" high. A 30" panel requires a notch cut into the bottom
of the panel to avoid interference with the hinges.
• Rout the back side of the panel to the dimensions shown.
• A custom handle of your choice must be installed before
the panel is mounted onto the door.
NOTE: A solid panel that covers the door glass CANNOT be
installed on these models.
Install the custom panel:
• Open the door fully.
• Remove the gasket surrounding the inside of the door to
expose the existing screw holes for the custom panel.
• Hold the custom frame panel against the door and align
carefully, top to bottom and side to side. Mark screw hole
locations on the back side of the panel.
• Drill pilot holes in the back side of the custom panel. In
hardwood, drill 3/32" pilot holes. In softwood, drill 5/64" holes.
• Secure the prepared panel to the door using ten (10)
#8 x 5/8" screws. Drive the screws through the door frame
and into the wood.
