1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all
adhesive tape holding the wine cooler accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed
materials before powering on the wine cooler.
• Your wine cooler has two leveling legs which are located in the
front of your wine cooler. After properly placing your wine cooler in its
final position, you can level your wine cooler.
• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your
wine cooler or by turning them counterclockwise to lower
your wine cooler. The wine cooler door will close easier when the
leveling legs are extended.
• Also, there is an adjustable support for the lower door hinge. (see fig.5)
After leveling the Beverage Center, adjust the hinge support, up or down
as needed until it rests on the surface on which that unit is placed.
• To assure your wine cooler works at the maximum efficiency it
was designed for, you should install it in a location where there
is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.
• The following are recommended clearances around the wine cooler:
Sides……………2 "(50mm)
Top....................2" (50mm)
Back..................2" (50mm)
• Do not over fill your wine cooler for proper internal air circulation.

Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet)
with proper grounding to power the wine cooler.
• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in
order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice
since it provides no effective grounding for the wine cooler and may
result in shock hazard.
• Do not install your wine cooler in any location not properly insulated or
heated e.g. garage etc. Your wine cooler was not designed to operate
in temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.
• Select a suitable location for the wine cooler on a hard even
surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators,
baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness
should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front and rear
bottom corners of the wine cooler.
• Your wine cooler is designed for free-standing installation only. It is not
designed for built-in application.
Install Limitations
1. Remove hinge cover screw.
2. Remove the top hinge cover.
3. Loosen the top hinge screws using
a Phillips Head Screwdriver.
4. Adjust the door or put a
spacer in between and then
tighten the screws.
5. Replace the top hinge cover.
Door Alignment (see fig. # 1)

Use of Extension Cords
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use
only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a
3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension
cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the
appliance.
