Use of extension cords
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely
necessary that it is a UL-listed (in the United States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire
grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the
electrical rating of the cord is 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
INSTALLATION
• Choose a location where there is an electrical outlet within reach of the power cord. There
must be at least 127 mm (5”) clearance around the unit to ensure proper ventilation. Avoid
locations in direct sunlight, moist or extreme cold areas.
• The wine cooler should be placed where the ambient temperature is between 15 to 25°C
(59 to 77°F). If the ambient temperature is above or below this range, the performance of
the unit may be affected. Placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause
interior temperatures to fluctuate.
• 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.
