KitchenAid 24'' Wine Cellar, Left-Hand Door Swing, Architect® Series II Utilização E Cuidado

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of 
your wine cellar before using it. See the cleaning instructions in 
“Wine Cellar Care.”

Door Closing

Your wine cellar has four leveling legs. If your wine cellar seems 
unsteady or you want the door to close more easily, adjust the 
wine cellar’s tilt using the instructions below.

1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. 

2. Move the wine cellar into its final location. 
3. Turn the leveling legs to the right to lower the wine cellar or 

turn the leveling legs to the left to raise it. It may take several 
turns of the leveling legs to adjust the tilt of the wine cellar. 
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the wine 
cellar takes some weight off the leveling legs. This makes it 
easier to adjust the leveling legs.

4. Open the door and check that it closes as easily as you like. If 

not, tilt the wine cellar slightly more to the rear by turning both 
front leveling screws to the right. It may take several more 
turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same 
amount.

Base Grille

You must remove the base grille to access the condenser coils for 
cleaning. 
To remove the base grille:

1. Open the wine cellar door.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws. Push 

both tabs in toward the center to release the base grille from 
the wine cellar.

3. Remove the base grille.
To replace the base grille:

1. Open the wine cellar door.
2. Position the base grille so that both tabs align and the base 

grille snaps into place. Replace the two screws. Tighten the 
screws.

WINE CELLAR USE

Normal Sounds

Your new wine cellar may make sounds that your old one didn’t 
make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be 
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard 
surfaces, such as the flooring and surrounding structures, can 
make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds 
of sounds and what may be making them.

■

Your wine cellar is designed to run more efficiently to keep 
your wine at the desired temperatures and to minimize energy 
usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may cause 
your wine cellar to run longer than your old one. You may also 
hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor 
or fans adjusting to optimize performance.

■

Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items 
stored inside the wine cellar.

■

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the 
refrigerant flowing in your wine cellar.

■

You may hear water running into the drain pan when the wine 
cellar is defrosting.

■

You may hear clicking sounds when the wine cellar starts or 
stops running.
