INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT…PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Before it is used, the wine chiller must be properly installed and located as described in this manual.
How to Connect Electricity
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.
Use of an adapter plug will increase the clearance needed for the back of the wine cooler.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall outlet is grounded through the house wiring.
You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one hand while pulling the power cord plug with the other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground terminal break, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.
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 be a

Electrical Requirements/Power Cords
•The wine chiller should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
•Never unplug the wine chiller by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
•Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
•When moving the wine chiller, be careful not to damage the power cord.
