Dacor DYWS4 Installation Instruction

Installation Specifications

Electrical Requirements

To prevent an electric shock hazard, the electrical outlet 

and supply must meet the specifications stated below. 

It is the owner’s responsibility to make sure that the 

electrical service meets electrical requirements and that 

the electrical outlet has been properly installed by a 

licensed electrician.
IMPOrTAnT: The power supply for this appliance is 

equipped with a three prong grounding power plug for 

protection against possible electric shock hazards and 

fire. It must be plugged into a dedicated, grounded 

electrical outlet. If only a two prong electrical outlet is 

available, it is the responsibility of the customer to have 

it replaced with the proper type by a licensed electrician. 

Do not under any circumstances:
•  Cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power 

cord.

•  Use an adapter plug. 
•  Modify the power cord.
•  Connect the appliance to an extension cord.

•  The three prong electrical outlet for this appliance must 

be located within 48” (122 cm) of the unit to make sure 

the power cord can reach.

•  The electrical outlet installation, including minimum 

supply wire size and grounding, must be done in 

accordance with National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 

70 and local codes and ordinances. A copy of this 

standard may be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association 

1 Batterymarch Park 

Quincy, MA 02269-9101

•  The correct voltage, frequency and amperage must 

be supplied to the electrical outlet from a grounded, 

dedicated, single phase circuit that is protected by a 

properly sized circuit breaker or time-delay fuse. If one 

is not installed, call a licensed electrician. See page  

3 for the circuit requirements. 

•  The electrical outlet for the wine dispensing system 

must be located to allow for easy access when the unit 

is installed for easy disconnection.

•  Use an electrical outlet which cannot be turned off with 

a switch or pull chain.

•  Installation of an external UPS with backup battery is 

recommended so that the unit does not need to be 

reset after a power outage.

Location Requirements

•

electric Shock Hazard: Due to the possibility of 

spillage during normal use, 

DO nOT install this 

appliance above or below any other appliance. 

•  To prevent tipping, do not install this appliance in an 

unrestrained, free-standing cabinet.

•  Install this appliance only on a flat, level surface 

capable of supporting the appliance’s weight. Operate 

it only in the upright position.

•  This appliance is designed for indoor use. It may be 

used outdoors provided it is installed under cover in a 

dry location and operated within the required ambient 

(room) temperature (see page 3) 

•  All maximum and minimum dimensions and clearances 

on the facing page must be met or exceeded for safe 

operation and for proper fit in the cabinet. 

•  When determining the installation location, look for a 

location that is free of potential safety hazards that 

might interfere with the installation or operation of the 

unit or interfere with air circulation around the unit. The 

location needs to be clean, dry and free of any debris. 

•  A minimum area or cabinet opening of 13” H x 9” W x 

4” D (33 cm H x 23 cm W x 10 cm D) must be provided 

in a nearby for the gas cylinder, regulator and gas line 

(with fittings) that supply Argon gas to the unit. An area 

deeper than this is recommended to allow storage 

of additional gas cylinders. The unconnected gas 

cylinders are for  

9 1/2” H x 2.5” W (24 cm H x 6.5 cm W). 

•  The included gas supply line (with fittings) allows for 

the cylinder storage area to be as far as 6 feet from the 

wine dispensing system. Holes in adjoining cabinets 

between the wine dispensing system and the gas 

cylinder location must be 1 1/8” (2.9 cm) in diameter to 

allow the gas line and its fittings to pass through.

•  The wine dispensing system must be installed at a 

safe distance from sources of heat, such as home 

appliances, in order to avoid an excessive rise in 

temperature.
