Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper setup of your BODEGA JC-70 Wine Cooler.
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the cooler for any shipping damage.
- Placement: Place the cooler on a firm, level floor that is strong enough to support the unit when fully loaded. Allow at least 2 inches of space around the back and sides for proper ventilation. This unit is designed for freestanding installation.
- Leveling: Adjust the leveling legs at the bottom of the unit to ensure it is perfectly level. This is crucial for proper door operation and cooling efficiency.
- Power Connection: Plug the cooler into a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapter plugs.
