the past.Junkedor abandonedrefrigerators arestill
dangerous evenifthey willsit for“just afew days.”If
you aregettingrid ofyour oldrefrigerator, pleasefollow
theinstructions belowto helpprevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator:
Takeoff thedoor/drawers.
Leave theshelvesin placeso thatchildren maynot
easilyclimb inside.
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which
under federal law must be removed prior to product
disposal.
If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration product,
check with the company handling
the disposal about what to do.
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal
safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
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.
The appliance should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating plate. This provides the best
performance and also prevents overloading house
wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
Never unplug an appliance by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the
outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have
become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord
that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length
or at either end.
When moving the appliance, be careful not to roll over or
damage the power cord.

drawer, directly under the light, will be
exposed to a slightly higher temperature
when the light is on. Position your wines
accordingly and remember to turn off the
light when it is no longer needed.
•Keep wines that you plan to use for
everyday drinking and entertaining on
the front half of the full extension drawers
where labels are completely visible. Place
wines for aging or longer term storage in
the rear.
•Do not allow children to climb, stand or
hang on the wine reserve full extension
drawers. They could seriously injure
themselves and possibly cause damage to
the wine reserve.
•In general, temperatures at the bottom
of the cabinet will be cooler than
temperatures at the top of the cabinet.
•Position your wine inventory accordingly
(i.e., white wines in the cooler zones and
red wines in the warmer zones).
Wood drawer
fronts
The full extension drawer fronts on the wine
reserve are unfinished cherry wood. During
use, oil from hands may accumulate and
stain the wood.
•The drawer fronts may be stained and
sealed to match adjacent cabinetry. The
tinted glass will make 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 the product.
NOTE: Natural wood may vary slightly in
grain and color.
