Installation

The Wine Captain is manufactured in two different sizes. The 15WC will accommodate thirty two (32) 750 ml wine bottles and the 75WC will accommodate sixty (60) 750 ml wine bottles. Unless otherwise noted all documentation pertains to both units.

Grille Installation

The lower grille should be affixed prior to installing the Wine Captain. To affix the grille complete the following:

1.With a standard blade screwdriver, remove the screw (located toward the middle of the unit, below the door) needed to attach the grille.

2.If the control knob is located in the grille area, remove it by pulling it toward you.

3.Carefully remove the grille from inside the unit. A small screw hole is located toward the top of the middle recessed section of the grille.

4.Place the two hook-hinges (located on the rear bottom side of the grille) on the front lip of the unit base. Swing the grille up into position, aligning the grille and cabinet screw holes.

5.The control knob may only be installed correctly. If you have to force the installation of the knob you may not have it properly aligned with the two control knobs.

Preparation

Your Wine Captain may be installed as a built-in or freestanding unit. It uses a front vented fan cooled condenser system which provides the ability to be built-in tightly without the need for additional clearance on the sides, top or rear for ventilation. It is recommended that you leave a minimal amount of clearance to install and remove the Wine Captain in the event service is required.

The Wine Captain must not be installed behind closed doors. The front grille must be free from obstruction. Obstructing free air flow can cause the Wine Captain to malfunction and may void the warranty.

For the best performance the location of the Wine Captain should not be in direct sun light or near a heat source.

Level Installation

Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the entire weight of the unit when full.

75WC and 15WC

This unit contains four adjustable leveling legs. Turn the legs clockwise to raise and counterclockwise to lower.
