TO INSTALL NEW COOLING UNIT

2. Carefully remove the new cooling unit from the packaging. You may reuse this packaging for shipping or storing the old cooling unit

3. Remove any materials that have been packed inside the exhaust cavity.

4. Before installing the cooling unit, make sure it works by plugging it in and letting it run on a hard, flat surface. Check that cold air is being produced by the unit.

5. NEVER turn the cooling unit on its side or upside down. 6. The cooling unit should be plugged into an outlet with a 15-amp circuit 7. Before installing the cooling unit, make sure that the exhaust panel is installed in the correct position. For rear-vented cellars, the exhaust panel MUST cover the TOP exhaust vent (see picture at right). In this configuration, the cavity at the REAR of the cooling unit is OPEN. 8. Attach the mounting clips to the new cooling unit so that they line up with the holes in the cellar. First, remove the front grill (attached with two screws on each side of the cooling unit), attach the mounting clips and then replace the front grill.

9. Some wine cabinets have three pieces of foam located on the bottom and on each side of the bracket that supports the back of the cooling unit. These foam pieces should be placed in their original locations

10. Follow the removal instructions described above in reverse.

11. After installing the cooling unit, It is not necessary to replace the grill

12. A complete and proper seal must be made between the cellar and the cooling unit to ensure that outside air does not enter the cellar. Use the butyl tape to seal the perimeter where the cooling unit touches the wine cabinet at the rear of the cellar by rolling the tape with your fingers into a thin (pencil diameter) "rope", then press the tape into the cracks where the cooling unit touches the cellar.

13. Check the seal by having a helper stand in front of the cabinet while you shine a flashlight around the cooling unit edges to discover any gaps in sealant.
