Installing your cellar (cont'd)
WARNING: Each of the pre-drilled bolt holes in the wall
panel have a captive nut secured inside them, which will
receive the
bolts that attach the conditioner unit.
DO NOT use an impact drill or a drill with a high clutch/
torque setting to drive in the bolts – this will break the
adhesive that holds the nut in place and dislodge it,
making it impossible to secure the bolts. Insertion of
the bolts should be started by hand to ensure they are
aligned correctly and not cross-threaded, and then can
be carefully completed using either a manual socket
wrench or a drill on a low clutch/torque setting.
23 Do the same for the bottom metal bracket (note that the
brackets face in opposite directions).
24 Temporarily position the timber frame between the two
brackets, ensuring that its inner edges align with the
edges of the wall panel cutout (see below).
25 Using a pencil, mark the position of the
metal brackets’
screw holes on the top and bottom of the timber frame.
26 Remove the timber frame from the wall panel, as well as
carefully removing the bolts and brackets.
27 Use screws to securely attach the top metal bracket
onto the timber frame using your pencil marks as a
position guide. Do the same for the bottom metal bracket.
28 Insert the main conditioner unit through the timber
frame (ensuring that the foam shock absorber strip is on
the lower side), and rest the conditioner onto the foam strip.
29 Use screws to securely attach the conditioner to
the timber frame
by screwing from the rear side of
the conditioner through its metal edge flange and into
the timber frame (see below).
30 Prepare the condensation water hose connection on
the base of the conditioner unit by removing the plastic
shroud over the hose connector outlet.
31 Connect the condensation hose by sliding it onto the
connector outlet, and secure it using the spring clamp.
32 Feed the ends of the condensation hose and the power
cable through their outlet holes in the rear grill cover
(see below) and re-attach the grill cover to the body of
the conditioner unit.
33 Lift the conditioner/frame assembly into position and
attach it to wall panel
by carefully re-inserting the two
bolts (including the wide washers this time) through
the metal brackets
(see warning after step 22 above).
34 Feed the power lead out through the pre-cut hole in the
roof panel, ready for connection to mains power.
35 Standing inside the cellar, take one half of the plastic hole
cover grommet
and ease it sideways onto the power
lead via the grommet’s pre-cut slit so that the power lead
runs up through the centre of the grommet, then slide the
grommet up to the ceiling and press it into the roof hole
so that it forms a tight seal.
36 From outside the cellar, use a step ladder to access the
roof and repeat step
35 by attaching the other half of the
grommet to the power lead, then slide it down and press
it firmly into the roof hole to seal it.
Interior shelving assembly
37 Sort and arrange the various vertical timber shelving
support frames. Those with shelf runners only on one side
–
– should be installed at the front and back of the
cellar. Those with runners on both sides –
– should be
installed in the centre. Take care to ensure the supports
are facing in the correct direction (front to back, and top
to bottom) so that shelves can slide onto their runners
correctly (see below for reference).
