WARNING
DANGER

Installation location
Installing your Marathon Wine or Beverage Cooler
Before using your new Wine and/or Beverage cooler, we recommend leaving Cooler
door open and unplugged for 24 hours prior to installation or use. This will allow time to
clear any residual odors from the interior liner and hardwood shelves.
Your Premium Marathon Wine and/or Beverage Cooler is engineered for built-in or free
standing installation. The front bottom vent must not be covered.
Your Marathon Wine and/or Beverage Cooler is also equipped with 4 adjustable feet to
facilitate easy leveling. We recommend that you tighten the back feet first and then
adjust the front feet to level the wine cooler.
Installation location
Choosing the right location for your Marathon cooler is important. We highly
recommend the following location criteria:
•
•
The appliance must be positioned such that the plug and power outlet are
accessible. Release the power cord and move the appliance to its final location.
The appliance should be installed in a suitable place where the compressor will not
be subject to physical contact, unencumbered and well ventilated Dry area, not
too damp or humid – ideally at maximum 65% +/- 5% relative humidity for peak
performance and reduced sweating on the interior door when opening. If the
temperature is above or below this range, it may affect the performance of
the Wine and/or beverage cooler. Placing in cold, hot or humid temperature
conditions may cause temperature fluctuations and increased running operation
costs.
• Flat, level floor
• Approved electrical outlet (preferably with surge protector) within 3 feet of the
Wine Cooler.
• Minimum 1 meter from any microwave oven. Certain microwave ovens do not have
a wave interference shield. When placed too close to the wine or beverage cooler ,
the performance may be affected.
•Wine or beverage coolers are NOT CERTIFIED for outdoor use. Outdoor use will
void your warranty and possibly cause a safety hazard and result in fire or
personal injury.
CAUTION! Your Marathon wine or beverage cooler is equipped with a three prong
power cord which has a ground wire. The plug should never be altered or used with
an extension cord or power bar. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in the
risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a qualified person in order to avoid electrical hazard.

Charcoal Filtration System
Your wine is a living object that breathes through the cork of its bottle. In order to preserve the
quality and taste of your fine wines, they must be stored at the ideal temperature and ambient
conditions. Your cellar is equipped with an active charcoal filtration system to ensure air purity,
cooling efficiency, and to maintain an odor free cabinet for the storage of your fine wines. The
filter assembly is located at the rear panel inside your cellar.
Keep in mind, that this filter must be changed every 12 months.
1. Remove the bottles of wine stored on the two (2)
shelves in front of the filter.
2. Remove the shelves and set aside to be replaced once
you have changed the filter

Recommended Wine Serving Temperature Chart
The chart below is a guide to recommended temperatures for wines. This is a guide only as personal
preferences vary…enjoy!
Important information about storing your wine
Your Marathon wine and/or beverage cooler has been “engineered to perform” and provide the perfect conditions
for storing and/or serving your wine. Fine wines require long and gentle development and need specic condi-
tions in which to reach their full potential. Ideally, for long term storage, we suggest keeping your wine cooler at a
constant temperature between 12ºC and 14ºC.
Please note that not all wines will improve over the years, and some must be consumed within the first few years of
bottling, while other ne wines are capable of ageing over 50 years. For questions regarding the maturity of your
wines, we suggest you consult your local wine retailer for information on the wine of your choice
