To stain for a different wood color:

1.Remove five racks with wood trim from unit, see RACK REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.

2.Remove screws securing wood trim to racks.

3.Apply Minwax® Water-Based Wood Stain to wood with a syn- thetic foam brush. Stain must penetrate approximately 3 min- utes. After this period, while stain is still wet, take a stain damp- ened rag and remove all excess stain. Wipe in the direction of the grain with medium pressure to achieve the desired stain color.

4.After 2 hours, repeat step 3. This will even out the color of the wood.

5.Allow stain to dry for a minimum of 3 hours before finishing.

6.If desired sand the wood with very fine sandpaper to smooth the surface from the staining process.

7.Remove all dust from the wood. Apply one coat of Minwax® Ultra Polycrylic® Protective Finish with a synthetic bristle brush to the wood. This finish should be applied in a thin coat following the direction of the grain. First apply the finish to the back and sides of the wood. Allow this to dry for two hours. Next apply the fin- ish to the front side of the wood and allow to dry for two hours. Sand with very fine sandpaper (220 grit). Reapply in the same manner 3 times total. After the third coat do not sand the sur- face.

8.Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before installing the wood to the Wine Captain® racks.

MinWax® Polycrylic® is an ultra fast-drying water-based finish.
