4. Setup and Installation

Assembly is required for this product. Proper installation is crucial for stability and safety.

Tools Required (Not Included):

• Drill
• Drill bits appropriate for wall anchors
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Level
• Pencil
• Measuring tape

Installation Steps:

1. Choose Location: Select a suitable wall location that can support the weight of the rack and 8 full wine bottles (approximately 10-12 kg or 22-26 lbs). Ensure there are no electrical wires or plumbing behind the wall at the chosen drilling points.
2. Mark Mounting Points: Hold the wine rack against the wall at the desired height and position. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly vertical. Mark the locations for the mounting screws with a pencil.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Using a drill bit appropriate for the provided wall anchors, drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
4. Insert Wall Anchors: Gently tap the wall anchors into the pilot holes until they are flush with the wall surface.
5. Mount the Rack: Align the mounting holes on the wine rack with the installed wall anchors. Insert the provided screws through the rack and into the anchors. Tighten the screws securely with a Phillips head screwdriver. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the wall or the rack.
6. Test Stability: Before loading bottles, gently pull on the installed rack to ensure it is firmly attached to the wall and does not wobble.

5. Operation

Once securely installed, the Blomus 65193 wine bottle holder is ready for use.

1. Loading Bottles: Gently slide wine bottles into the individual rings. The design allows for bottles to be stored horizontally, which is ideal for keeping corks moist.
2. Bottle Orientation: Ensure bottles are placed with the neck slightly lower than the base to maintain cork moisture. The lined rings are designed to hold bottles securely.
3. Capacity: The rack is designed to hold up to 8 standard-sized wine bottles. Avoid forcing oversized bottles into the rings.

6. Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Blomus wine bottle holder, follow these simple care instructions:

• Cleaning: Wipe the stainless steel surface with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by thorough drying.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the brushed stainless steel finish.
• Dishwasher: This product is not dishwasher compatible.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight and the rack is securely fastened to the wall.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your wine bottle holder, consider the following:

• Rack feels loose after installation: Re-check all mounting screws and ensure they are tightened securely into the wall anchors. If the wall anchors feel stripped, consider using larger anchors or relocating the rack to a different spot on the wall.
• Bottles do not sit level or securely: Ensure the rack itself is installed perfectly level. Verify that the bottles are standard size and are fully inserted into the lined rings. Some bottle shapes may fit differently; adjust placement as needed.
• Scratches on surface: Minor scratches on brushed stainless steel can sometimes be buffed out with a specialized stainless steel polishing cloth, following the grain of the finish. Avoid harsh abrasives.
