Your appliance can operate within the room temperature limits 

listed below. These temperature limits should not be exceeded.

 

 

Room Temperature requirements 

for proper operation

 

60°F to 90°F (16°C to 32°C)

 

Power Supply Requirements

 

•  This appliance should have its own separate, 110-120 Vac, 15 

Amp. grounded circuit controlled by a circuit breaker or  fuse.

 

•  Do not connect to a circuit that is turned on and off by a 

switch.

 

•  Follow the National Electrical Code and local codes and 

ordinances when installing the electrical outlet. The electrical 

outlet must be installed by a licensed electrician.

 

•  The electrical outlet must accept a grounded three prong 

power cord. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) type 

is not recommended because it may cause interruption  

of operation. See

*For reference only. See product data label inside unit for exact 

specifications.

 

Location Requirements

 

•  Operate the appliance only on a solid, stable and level 

surface. Do not operate on top of carpeting, or other soft 

surface.

 

•  Locate your wine cellar in a convenient location, away from 

extreme heat and cold. Locate it away from direct sunlight. 

The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or 

other sources of high heat. It is suggested that it be located in 

the coolest area of the room.

 

•  Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to 

support it when it is fully loaded. It weighs 100 lbs (45 kG) 

unloaded.

 

•  To ensure proper ventilation, the front of the unit must be 

completely unobstructed. Choose a well ventilated area with 

temperatures between those stated above. This unit must 

be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as 

wind, rain, water spray or drips.

 

•  Optimal spacing for ventilation around the appliance (for 

maximum efficiency) is 5 inches (12.7 cm) in back, at the 

sides and above. The Dacor wine cellar may be recessed 

in an opening between cabinets or installed at the end of  a

 

cabinet run using a side panel to enclose it. When installing in 

an enclosed space, the absolute minimum space is 1/4” (5.0 

mm) of space on both sides, 1/4” (5.0 mm) of space at the  

top and 2 1/4” (5.7 cm) in back. See diagram,  right.

 

•  The overall height of the appliance can be increased by 2 1/2” 

(6.4 cm) by adjusting the feet.

 

•  The electrical outlet must be accessible after installation so 

that the user can unplug the appliance.

 

•  It is advisable to install the appliance with sufficient ventilation 

in a dry and/or an air-conditioned place to avoid condensation 

build up on the door during period of high  humidity.

 

Installation

 

 

 

1.  Protect the floor surface before you un-crate the unit. Put 

the unit on cardboard, plywood or preferably, a carpet 

remnant (backing up) placed on the floor.

 

2.  Remove all exterior and interior packing. When you first 

open the unit, you may notice an odor similar to nail polish 

remover. This odor is not harmful and will disappear once 

the unit has been turned on for approximately four hours. 

We suggest waiting until the odor has dissipated before 

placing your wine inside the unit to ensure that no odor 

transfers to the wine.

 

IMPORTANT: 

Before connecting the wine cellar to the 

power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. 

This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the 

cooling system caused by handling during transport.

 

3.  Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft 

cloth.

 

4.  Adjust the appliance height if necessary to fit the cutout 

using the four adjustable feet on the underside of the 

appliance. Make sure all four feet hit the floor and that the 

appliance does not rock.

 

5.  Place a level on one of the racks inside the appliance. 

Check to make sure the appliance is level front to back and 

side to side. Readjust the feet if  necessary.

 

6.  Slide the appliance into the cutout. Keep the floor protected 

when moving it. Make sure that the power cable does not 

become trapped.

 

7.  Connect the power plug to the electrical  outlet.

 

 

All specifications subject to change without notice.

 

This appliance must be installed in accordance with all local 

codes and ordinances.
