Wine Cooler Installation Notes
A wine cooler is best installed where room temperature stays between about 70°F and 78°F, and not in an unheated or uninsulated space such as a garage. Source: Frigidaire - Wine Cooler Use & Care Guide (A15310502)
On an undercounter beverage center, keep the lower front of the unit clear, since its cabinet needs adequate airflow to shed heat. Source: Frigidaire - Beverage Center Use & Care Guide (A30847101)
