INSTALLING THE WINE COOLER Your Electrolux wine cooler has been designed for either free-standing or built-in installation(refer to the Built-in Installation section of this manual for instructions). In either case, the front grille must NOT be obstructed. SITE PREPERATION Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the entire weight of the unit.
Figure 3 NOTE All units require zero clearance when installed flush with a cabinet or wall (see Figure 1). Electrolux stainless steel models require a minimum 2-3/4 inch handle clearance when installed against a wall or cabinet that extends beyond the front edge of the unit (see Figure 2).
WINE RACKS WITH WOOD TRIM Your Electrolux wine cooler is equipped with a natural wood trim on the wine racks for appearance and durability. The wood trim has been coated at the factory with a clear vinyl sealer, which will adequately protect the wood in normal usage.

Wood Trim To stain for a different wood color: Remove five racks with wood trim from unit, see Rack Removal/ Installation. Remove screws securing wood trim to racks. Apply Minwax Water-Based Wood Stain® to wood with a synthetic foam brush. Stain must penetrate approximately 3 minutes. After this period, while stain is still wet, take a stain dampened rag and remove all excess stain.
LEVELING THE UNIT Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the entire weight of the unit when full. This unit contains four adjustable leveling legs.

Remove the two door closer plastic inserts from the existing bottom hinge and install as shown on the new bottom hinge (see Figure 11). Remove existing bottom hinge (3 screws) and remount on opposite side TOP.
Door Adjustment ADJUSTING THE DOOR Your door is aligned at the factory before shipment. Occasional re-adjustment may be necessary, especially if an overlay panel is installed. The following procedure will correct for up to 1/4" alignment. The door should never be flush with the top of the cabinet. Even when level, the top edge of the door will be 1/8"...

If door edge opposite the hinges needs to move up, move plate toward outside of door. If door edge needs to move down, move plate toward inside of door (see Figure 16). Repeat until top edge of door is parallel with top of cabinet and tighten screws securely.
Built-In Installation INSTALLING A BUILT-IN Your Electrolux wine cooler has been designed for either free-standing or built-in installation. When built-in, your wine cooler does not require additional air space for top, sides or rear. However, the front grille must NOT be obstructed.
THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE FOR WINE Your Electrolux wine cooler has a unique, triple temperature zone permitting storage of your finest wines at approximately 60°F (15°C in the top portion of the cabinet for reds, 50-55°F (10-12°C) in the middle for whites and 45°F (7°C) on the bottom for sparkling wines).
Start-up and Temperature Control STARTING THE UNIT Electrolux wine coolers are designed to provide different temperature zones within the cabinet so different types of wine may be maintained at varying temperatures. The coolest temperature is at the bottom, and the warmest is at the top of the cabinet.
Your wine cooler is preset for a mid-point setting (4) in order to achieve the recommended temperature range when installed in a 72°F ambient room temperature (see Figure 21). Adjust the temperature gradually; move the control knob in small increments and allow the temperature to stabilize.
Storage DISPLAY RACK Figure 22 STOCKING RECOMMENDATIONS The wine racks allow for the proper horizontal storage of wine. The bottles are properly positioned so that the wine remains in contact with the cork to assure that the cork does not become dry. Use the procedure listed below to stock your wine cooler.
MAINTAINING YOUR WINE COOLER Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you have pets or other special considerations. Exterior Cleaning - As Required The door, grille and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution.
Maintenance Interior Cleaning - As Required Disconnect power to the wine cooler. Remove racks if desired, see WINE RACK REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.
