Floor, ceiling and all walls of the enclosure must be insulated to minimum R-20 rating, although R-30 is recommended.
Best material is foil-backed urethane foam, sealed at all joints with thermal tape. Build a proper sub-floor with a vapor
barrier, and insulate to at least R-20, especially if floor is concrete. Use an insulated door.
All surfaces of the enclosure must be protected by a proper vapor barrier, ideally on both inside and outside of wine/
pantry room.
Seal corners, joints, gaps, vents, electrical outlets and switches, and especially around door and frame. Pack larger
gaps with insulation. Seal all seams with silicone caulking. Seal drywall with odorless waterproof paint.
This unit must be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations. Do not use if power cord is damaged; it must
be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or by a qualified person to avoid a hazard. Plug must remain
accessible after installation. Electrical service must be a dedicated, separately fused and grounded 15 Amp, 115V line
(Europe; 10-Amp 220 Volt). Test line voltage before operating, and do not use if line voltage is less than 105V. The unit
must be protected against power surges and spikes. Use a good quality surge suppressor.
