Wine coolers and beverage centers call for a dedicated, properly grounded 115-volt, 15-amp outlet, not a GFI circuit or a switch-controlled outlet. Source: Frigidaire - Wine Cooler Use & Care Guide (A15310502)

What Hugo Owners Should Know

Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.

In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
