ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
HANDLE ASSEMBLY
Tools Required for Assembly: Phillips screwdriver (not included)
Estimated Assembly Time: 5 minutes
Before installation, attach the handle to the front of the unit with the included
screws. It may be necessary to push aside the rubber seal on the inside of the
door to reveal the screw holes.
Caution: Avoid over-tightening the screws, or you may cause damage to the
unit.
INSTALLATION
Before connecting the appliance to a power source, let it stand upright
for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a
malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
This appliance can either stand alone or be built in. Front grille must be
unobstructed.
Before operating your wine cooler for the first time, follow these steps:
Clean the interior surface of the unit with lukewarm water and a soft
cloth.

7
NEWAIR AWR-520SB 52 BOTTLE BUILT IN COMPRESSOR WINE COOLER
Place the refrigerator on a level surface that will be strong enough to
support the unit when it is fully loaded. To level your appliance, adjust
the front feet located at the bottom of the unit.
Install the appliance away from direct sunlight and heat sources such
as stoves, heaters, or radiators. Direct sunlight may affect the unit’s
acrylic coating, and nearby heat sources can increase electrical
consumption. Extreme cold or hot ambient temperatures may also
prevent proper performance.
REVERSING THE DOOR SWING
As you received your wine cellar, the door swings open at the left. If you wish
to reverse the swing so that the door opens from the right, it is important to
have at least one other person to help. It is very dangerous to try to reverse the
door swing by yourself.
1. Unscrew the upper door hinge while the second person supports the
door.
2. Remove the upper hinge and carefully lift the door off the bottom
hinge.
3. Unscrew the bottom hinge and install it on the left side of the unit.
4. Flip the door around so that the handle is on the right side and slip the
door over the bottom hinge.
5. Reattach the door by screwing the top hinge into the holes provided
on the upper left surface of the unit. Make adjustments as necessary
to be sure the door is aligned properly.
