such as a dishwasher, oven, microwave, toaster, etc. or in direct sunlight.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This Wine Cellar is intended to be used indoors. It is
designed to maintain an interior temperature that is, at most, 18°C (32°F)
lower than the temperature of the room in which it is situated. Therefore, if
the ambient temperature is higher than 25°C (77°F) the Wine Cellar might
not be able to maintain the lowest interior temperature that can be set on
the control panel.
5. DO NOT build into a wall, cabinet or any enclosed area.
