DANGER
WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your wine cellar, follow these basic precautions:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Remove doors from your old wine cellar.
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from wine cellar.
Use two or more people to move and install wine cellar.

Proper Disposal of Your Old Wine Cellar
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned wine cellars are still dangerous
– even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of
your old wine cellar, please follow these instructions to help
prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Wine Cellar:
Take off the door.
Leave the racks in place so that children may not easily climb
inside.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Location Requirements
To ensure proper ventilation for your wine cellar, allow for a 5"
(127 mm) space between the back of the beverage center and
the wall. When installing your beverage center next to a fixed
wall, leave 13¹⁄₄" (33.7 cm) minimum clearance on the hinge side
to allow for the door to swing open.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you do not install the wine cellar
near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install
in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F
(13°C). For best performance, do not install the wine
cellar behind a cabinet door.
It is recommended that you install the wine cellar in a
location that allows the door to have a greater than 45°
opening. A limited door swing will keep the shelves from
sliding out as intended and may lead to damaging the
door gasket.
The rough cabinet opening must be on a level floor and at
least 24" (60 cm) deep and 12¹⁄₂" (31.75 cm) wide.
Electrical Requirements
Before you move your wine cellar into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection.
Recommended grounding method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15– or 20–amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your wine cellar be provided. Use an outlet
that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an
extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning
unplug wine cellar or disconnect power.
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
Remove door from your old wine cellar.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from wine cellar.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
5" (12.17 cm)
13¹⁄₄" (33.66 cm)
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING

Unpack the Wine Cellar
Remove the Packaging
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the wine cellar. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap
over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water
and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your wine cellar. For
more information, see “Wine Cellar Safety.”
Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your wine cellar before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
“Wine Cellar Care.”
