Installation

Installing your new wine refrigerator is easy once you've found a suitable location and established its power requirements. Before you begin, take out any items in the cabinet that could block your fridge or hinder its performance. This will let you measure the space accurately, and ensure that your wine refrigerator is properly sized. This procedure requires basic tools, including a screwdriver and a measuring tape. Also, you'll need shims, a drill or a jigsaw to drill holes where necessary.

Ensure that the area where you are planning to put your refrigerator has enough ventilation. This will allow cool air to circulate and maintain a consistent temperature throughout the cabinet. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to sources of heat, like radiators, as they could raise the interior temperature and result in damage to your wine. Keep your wine cooler away humid areas as this can cause mold or mildew to develop and alter the quality of your wine.

Built-in wine chillers have vents on the front. This makes them very popular to be incorporated into cabinets. If you are using a freestanding cooler, it is crucial to keep in mind that the vent will be at the back. It will also require space to function effectively. If the vent is blocked, it will need to exert twice as much effort to maintain its internal temperature and require more energy than it should.

To avoid this, make sure that any plinths and skirting boards surrounding your unit do not block the grille on the front. You should also be mindful of any gaps on the sides and bottom, as warm air is expelled through these tiny openings. If you plan to put a skirting around the front of the wine cooler, make sure it has a grille, so that the fridge will be able to draw cool air into.
