INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Appliance

  • Remove the exterior and interior packing.
  • Before connecting the appliance to the 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.
  • Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
  • Install the handle on the left side of the door using the screws that are provided.

Avoid use of abrasive products and never use alcohol!

Installation of Your Appliance

  • This appliance is designed for free standing or built-in (fully recessed) installation.
  • Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level your appliance, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom.
  • Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly.
  • Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
  • Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified and authorized products service center.
  • This appliance is intended to be installed in a space between two units. The minimum space required is: 600mm wide × 625mm deep × 865mm high Please note: When the product is installed, there should be a small ventilation gap between the top of the unit and the underside of any fitting above (6mm or 1/4″).
  • The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.

Installation of the Handle
To install the handle, please follow these instructions:

  • Carefully pull the door gasket (seal) away from the door in the area where the handle will be attached.
  • Place the handle over the screw holes on the outside of the door and attach it with the screws that have been provided. Tighten the screws.
  • Press the door gasket back into its groove.

Cutout & Product Dimensions
PREPARE SITE
Your product has been designed for either freestanding or built-in installation. When built-in, your unit does not require additional aspace for top, sides, or rear. However, the front grille must NOT bobstructed, and clearance is required for an electrical connection in the rear.
CAUTION
Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet door.
CUTOUT DIMENSIONS

How to put off the shelves

  1. Take out the wine bottles from the shelves.
  2. Please keep the door opened fully all the way before pulling the shelves out.
  3. Touch the plastic buckles in the left and right of the sliding rail, pressing the left plastic buckle upwardly and pressing the right plastic buckle downward at the same time, and then pushing out the shelf.

Storage

  • Bottles can differ in size. Accordingly, the actual number of bottles you can store may vary.
  • The approximate maximum bottle capacity can be achieved when storing traditional 750 ml Bordeaux bottles in bulk storage.
  • You may load your wine bottles in single rows or by stacking while taking note of the following: if you do not have enough bottles to fill your wine cellar, it is better to distribute the load throughout the wine cellar so as to avoid “all on top” or “all below” type loads.
  • Do remove or relocate adjustable wooden shelves to accommodate larger types of bottles or increase the capacity of the cellar by stacking the bottles when necessary. (See instructions for removing shelves, above.)
  •  Keep small gaps between the walls and the bottles to allow air to circulate. As in an underground cellar, air circulation is important to prevent mold and for a more homogeneous temperature within the cellar.
  • To facilitate air circulation, do not overload your wine cellar.
  • Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located inside on the rear panel of the wine cellar).
  • To prevent bottles from falling, do not try to slide the shelves outward beyond the fixed position.
  • Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time as this may cause the wine cellar to tilt forward if not properly installed.

Reversing the Door Swing
This appliance has the capability of the door opening from either the left or right side. The unit is delivered to you with the door opening from the left side. Should you desire to reverse the opening direction, please follow the instructions below.

  1. Open the door.

  2. Using a Philips screwdriver, remove the screws from the upper and lower left corners of the unit.

  3. Using a Philips screwdriver, remove the two screws of top and bottom hinge.
    WARNING: To prevent the door from falling off, it must be held by one person before the screws are loosened by a second person.

  4. Rotate the door 180°, align the hinge over screw hole and slide into position. Tighten screws on top and bottom.

  5. Remove the switch platen from the top of the door and reinstall it in the center mounting hole at the bottom of the door.

  6. Reinstall the previously removed screws back into the upper and lower right corners of the unit.

Carbon Filter
A built-in carbon filter protects your wines by acting as a natural barrier against harmful odors. The carbon filter should be replaced every 9-12 months depending on the unit’s exposure level to odor. If the unit is placed in a kitchen, regular replacement every three months is ideal.
Remove the carbon filter by turning counterclockwise to unlock from rear panel.
