Installation location
Installing your Marathon Wine and/or Beverage Cooler
Before using your new Wine and/or Beverage Cooler, we recommend leaving Cooler
door open and unplugged for 24 hours prior to installation or use. This will allow time to
clear any residual odors from the interior liner and hardwood shelves.
Your Premium Marathon Wine and/or Beverage cooler is engineered for built-in or free
standing installation. The front bottom vent is the ventilation grill and must not be cove-
red.
Your Marathon Wine and/or beverage cooler is also equipped with 4 adjustable feet to
facilitate easy leveling. We recommend that you tighten the back feet first and then ad-
just the front feet to level the wine cooler.
Installation location
Choosing the right location for your Marathon Wine and/or Beverage Cooler is important.
We highly recommend the following location criteria:
• The appliance must be positioned such that the plug and power outlet are
accessible. Release the power cord and move the appliance to its final location.
The appliance should be installed in a suitable place where the compressor will not
be subject to physical contact, unencumbered and well ventilated
• Dry area, not too damp or humid – ideally at maximum 65% relative humidity for
peak performance and reduced sweating on the interior door when opening. If the
temperature is above or below this range, it may affect the performance of
the Wine and/or beverage cooler. Placing in cold, hot or humid temperature condi-
tions may cause temperature fluctuations and increased running operation costs.
• Flat, level oor
• Approved electrical outlet (preferably with surge protector) within 3 feet of the
Wine and/or beverage cooler.
• Minimum 1 meter from any microwave oven. Certain microwave ovens do not have
a wave interference shield. When placed too close to the wine or beverage cooler ,
the performance may be affected.
• Marathon Wine and/or Beverage Coolers are NOT CERTIFIED for outdoor use.
Outdoor use will void your warranty and possibly cause a safety hazard and
result in fire or personal injury.
CAUTION! Your Marathon wine and/or Beverage Cooler is equipped with a three
prong power cord which has a ground wire. The plug should never be altered or used
with an extension cord or power bar. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in
the risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood. If the supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by a qualified person in order to avoid electrical hazard.
