Installing the wine cooler
This appliance is intended to be installed in a space between two units. If it is to be freestanding in an open space, ensure that it can not cause harm nor damage.
The minimum space required is:

Please note : When the product is installed, the measurements above will ensure a minimum 5mm ventilation gap around the product. These products should not be installed:

1. In direct sunlight.
2. Adjacent to a heat source (oven or radiator).
3. Below a hob unit.
4. In a damp or wet environment

Where a continuous plinth is to be used, it is necessary to cut a section out so that the ventilation slots at the front of the appliance are not obstructed in any way as per Fig 3.
This appliance is designed to fit under worktops between 830 – 885mm in height, using the adjustable plinth plate to ensure that the feet are concealed from view.
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow the instructions regarding installation and ventilation may invalidate the warranty supplied with your appliance.

To install the handle

IMPORTANT: DO NOT REMOVE THE SCREWS FROM THEIR POSITION IN THE DOOR (Fig. 4) PRIOR TO FITTING THE HANDLE AS FIXINGS MAY DROP INTO THE DOOR. The door seal holds the screws in place during transit. Do not overtighten the screws, and do not use power tools to install the handle.

1. Peel back the door seal from the glass side to expose the screw holes, as per Fig. 4. Place a screwdriver against the screw and hold it in position.
2. Carefully locate the handle over the fixing screw.
3. Using a screwdriver, tighten the securing screw to fix the handle. Repeat with the remaining handle fixing screw.

IMPORTANT: Take care, when installing the handle, not to damage the door. Any damage caused may not be covered by the warranty supplied with your appliance.

Reversing the door

The following instructions are based on a wine cooler with the door hinged on the right hand side. We strongly recommend seeking the help of at leastone other individual during this process.
Before starting the reversal process, ensure that you have the left hand upper and lower hinges. These are supplied with your product.
Do not tilt the appliance backwards further than an angle of 60° (Fig.5).

1. With the help of another, open the door and support it. Loosen and remove the two screws from the pivot plate of the lower right hinge, as per Fig. 6.
2. Move the door away from the wine cooler slightly and remove the pivot plate from the bottom of the door as per Fig. 7. Lower the door from the upper hinge and place it somewhere safe where it will neither cause nor receive damage.
3. Remove the three screws from both the upper hinge and the lower hinge, taking care not to let them fall, as per Fig. 8. Remove the hinges and place them somewhere safe in case they are needed in the future.
4. Remove the plastic caps from the left hand hinge positions and fit them into the now empty right hand hinge holes, as per Fig. 9.
5. Fit the supplied upper left hinge and lower left hinge to the appliance as per Fig. 10. These are mirror opposites of their right-handed counterparts.
6. Turn the door around by 180° (upside down) so that the handle is now on the right (Fig. 11). Insert the pivot plate into the now-bottom of the door as per Fig. 12.
7. Guide the door onto the upper hinge pivot and manoeuvre the lower part of the door and pivot plate onto the lower hinge. Align the pivot plate holes with the hinge plate holes.
8. Reinsert the two screws that you removed in step 1 and tighten them.
   Check that the door sits level with the appliance. If not, the pivot plate offers some adjustment – loosen the screws you have just tightened and adjust the door as necessary.

Fitting the plinth
The plinth/grille for this appliance comes packaged inside and can be fitted if desired. Follow these steps to do so:

1. Locate the plinth (packaged inside the appliance)
2. Remove the four screws from (two on each side of) the plinth section, but take care to support both sections to prevent the adjustable section from falling away. Remove the adjustable front section and place this somewhere safe.
3. With the help of another individual, make sure the wine cooler is secure and tilt it backwards to gain full access to the area below the door. Make sure that the door is kept closed at all times during this process in order to avoid damage to the door and appliance.
4. If present, remove the two screws shown by arrows and marked as ‘A’ in Fig. 14. Then, locate the four black fitting screws. These are packaged inside the appliance with the door reversing hinge.
5. If present, remove the screws shown by arrows and marked as ‘B’ in Fig. 15. These are not needed.
6. Offer up the plinth, ensuring it is the same way up as per Fig. 16. Then, using a (magnetic tipped) screwdriver, insert two of the black fitting screws through the oval access holes (shown in Fig. 16) and tighten them.
7. Install a (black fitting) screw into each of the two lower holes (shown in Fig. 16). This will help to secure the plinth to the un- derside of the wine cooler.
8. Adjust the wine cooler feet so that you achieve the desired height for the cooler. If needed, re-attach the extendable plinth section with the four screws that were removed in step 2. Stand the wine cooler up steadily – if the extendable section will foul the floor or similar, remove it. Allow the wine cooler to stand for 24 hours before plugging it in. This will help to prevent damage to the system.

Adjusting the plinth
The plinth/grill for this appliance comes with an adjustable section. The process for adjusting the plinth trim is simple and is achieved by following the steps below. Perform these steps once the appliance is standing on all four feet and do not put weight on the plinth.

1. Loosen the two screws on each side of the plinth trim (four altogether – Fig. 17).
2. Carefully guide the front trim down until the desired height is achieved.
3. Tighten the screws
