How should I install my wine cabinet?

Before using your wine cabinet: Remove the exterior and interior packing. Before connecting the wine cabinet to the power source, let it stand upright for at least 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. Make sure to turn the unit off and unplug it from the outlet. Place your wine cabinet on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level your wine cabinet, adjust the front levelling leg at the bottom of the wine cabinet. Ensure it is perfectly level, as this will minimise any vibrations.

What should I keep in mind in terms of the door seal when I first install the appliance?

To protect the appliance in transit and delivery the door is packed tightly against the cabinet. When first installed this can mean the door seal appears thinner on one side of the door due to compression, this is normal and once out of the box it will relax over a short period of time and the door will return to the normal position. If you wish to speed up the process you can gently warm the seal with a hair dryer on a low temperature setting. This can help relax the seal helping it return to normal thickness a little faster.
