INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
Before Using Your Wine Cellar:  
Remove any exterior and interior packing material.  
Check to be sure the following parts are included:  
2 slide out shelves: 1 full size, 1 half size  
1 instruction manual  
Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand  
upright for approximately 24 hours. This will reduce the  
possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling  
during transportation.  
Place your appliance on a surface that is strong enough to  
support the appliance when it is fully loaded.  
To level your appliance, adjust the front legs.  
Ensure that the unit is installed with clearance of 1” on the sides  
and 4” in the back for proper air circulation.  
Designed for freestanding installation only, 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.  
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.  
For maximum storage, place wine bottles both on their side and  
standing within the cooler. Remove metal half shelf and place  
bottles on their side on both the contoured metal shelf and the  
molded shelf. Stand bottles upright in bottom storage area.  
OPERATING YOUR WINE CELLAR  
It is recommended that you install the wine cellar in a place where  
the ambient temperature is between 50-80°F. If the ambient  
temperature is above or below recommended temperature, the  
performance of the unit may be affected. Placing in extreme cold or  
hot conditions may cause interior temperature to fluctuate. The  
range of 39-65°F may not be reached. Not intended for garage or  
basement installs. The temperature may fluctuate depending on  
whether or not the interior light is on or off or whether the bottles are  
located on the upper/middle or lower section. Close the cellar door  
immediately after putting in any items so the inside temperature will  
not rise dramatically.
