Installation Instructions
Before Using Your Appliance:
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
CAUTION:
After unpacking and before connecting to a power source, you MUST allow this
appliance to stand upright for at least 2 hours to allow the lubricant and refrigerant to
drain back into the compressor and stabilize. Failure to do so may adversely affect
performance and the lifetime of this unit.
Remove the shelves and clean them and the interior surfaces of the unit with
lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installing the Pub Cellar:
Place the unit on a floor or other surface that is strong enough to support the
appliance when it is fully loaded. To level the unit, adjust the two leveling legs at the
front.
Unless your particular model has the letters BI (built-in) in the model number, or if you
have a model from the SCR2466PUB series, the appliance is designed to be free-
standing only and not recessed or built into an enclosure. When installing, allow at
least 4” (102mm) of space at the sides, top and rear of the unit to allow for proper air
circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. Take care that any air vents at the
front of the appliance are never covered or blocked in any way.
If your model has the letters BI in its model number, or if you have a model from the
SCR2466PUB series, the appliance can be installed either free-standing or built-in. If
the unit will be built into an enclosure, you must still allow at least 3/16” (5mm) of
clear space on both sides and at the top, and 2” (51mm) at the back. If the unit has
an air vent at the front, take care that it is never covered or blocked in any way.
The FF63BDTPUB models are supplied with spacers that must be mounted onto the
condenser tube at the back to make sure there is sufficient clearance between the
appliance and the wall. See illustration below.
Locate your Pub Cellar away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (oven, heater,
radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and can also reduce the
quality of items stored in models with glass doors. Heat sources may increase
electrical consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also affect the
unit's performance.
