INSTALLING YOUR WINE CELLAR
4
Select Location
The proper location will ensure peak performance of your
appliance. We recommend a location where the unit will
be out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. To
ensure your product performs to specifications the recom-
mended installation location temperature range is from 55
to 100°F (13 to 38°C).
Cabinet Clearance
Ventilation is required from the bottom front section of the
unit. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions.
Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed around
the unit as long as the front grille remains unobstructed.
Leveling Legs
Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the unit
should be set so the unit is firmly positioned on the floor
and level from side to side and front to back. The overall
height of your refrigerator may be adjusted from 33 3 ⁄
4
”
(85.7cm) with the leveling legs turned in, and up to 34 3 ⁄
4
”
(88.3cm) with the leveling legs extended.
To adjust the leveling legs, place the refrigerator on a solid
surface and protect the floor beneath the legs to avoid
scratching the floor. With the assistance of another person,
lean the refrigerator back to access the front leveling legs.
Raise or lower the legs to the required dimension by turn-
ing the legs. Repeat this process for the rear by tilting the
refrigerator forward using caution to prevent the door from
opening. On a level surface check the refrigerator for level-
ness and adjust accordingly.
The front grille screws may be loosened and the front grille
adjusted to the desired height. When adjustment is com-
plete tighten the two front grille screws. (See Figure 2).

Front Grille
Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the
front grille allow air to flow through the condenser heat ex-
changer. Restrictions to this air flow will result in increased
energy usage and loss of cooling capacity. For this reason
it is important this area to not be obstructed and the grille
openings kept clean. Wine Enthusiast does not recommend
the use of custom made grilles as air flow may be restricted
because of inadequate openings. (See Figure 1).
