Locating the System
Wine Guardian systems are typically installed at the user’s eye level for ease of operation. The 
Through-the-Wall system discharges warm air from its condenser end so this should be 
considered when determining the location for the system. Locating the system adjacent to a 
mechanical room or in close proximity to an exterior wall may be required if ducting the warm 
condenser air is being considered. The warmer condenser air can be ducted up to15 feet away. 
Be sure to install wire nuts onto the black and white wire leads at the condenser end, once the 
cord is removed. 
 
Power Cord Location 
As previously noted, the power cord is factory wired on the 
condenser side of the system. If you require the cord on the wine 
cellar side for plugging into an available outlet, this can be 
accomplished by removing the 3-wire leads (ground included) and 
moving the cord with connector to the opposite side control bracket 
and wire nutting the black and white wires to the factory supplied 
leads. The wires must have the terminations cut off and stripped 
first. Then screw the ground lead to the hole supplied in the control bracket.
