5.1 Safety instructions

WARNING! Risk of electric shock!

The device must only be connected to a properly installed single socket with
protective contact.

Never remove the power cable by pulling the cable itself; always grab the plug
housing.

• Never allow the power cable to come into contact with heat sources or sharp edges.
The power cable should not hang over the side of the working surface. Ensure that no
one can step on or trip over the cable.

• The power cable must not be folded, bent or tangled, and must always remain fully
unrolled.

• Never place the device or other objects on the power cable.

• Do not lay the cable over carpets or heat insulations. Do not cover the cable. Keep

away the cable from operating range and do not dunk it into water.

- 24 -

• Do not use the device in case it does not function properly, has been damaged or
dropped.

• Do not use any accessory or spare parts that have not been recommended by the
manufacturer. These can be dangerous for the user or lead to damages of the
device or personal injury, and further, the warranty expires.

• Do not move or tilt the device when in operation.

WARNING! Hazard via electrical current!

Avoid contact between the device and water. Do not allow the water to be affected
by rain, dripping water or other forms of moisture. This may lead to damage to the
device or electric shock.

WARNING! Hazard via electrical current!

The device can cause injuries due to improper installation!
Before installation the local power grid specification should be compared with

that of the device (see type label).
Connect the device only in case of compliance!
Take note of the security advice!

5.2 Installation and connection

• Discard the complete packing material after unpacking the device.

• Place the device on top of an even and safe surface which supports the weight of

the device.

• Not at any time should you place the device on an inflammable surface (such as:
table cloth, carpet, etc.).

• Do not place the device in the vicinity of open sources of fire, electric cookers,
furnaces or other sources of heat such as e.g., in places exposed to direct sunlight.
The heat can damage the surface of the device, as well as have a negative effect on
the cooling power and increase the consumption of energy.

• To avoid damage to the compressor, do not tilt the device to an angle greater than 45°
during setup or transport. Be careful when touching the condenser and doors, as
damage to them will negatively impact the working of the device.

• 2 front height-adjustable legs set so as to ensure stability.

• Place the device in such a manner that there is a minimum of 10 cm between it and

other objects, including walls, in order to ensure proper air circulation.

- 25 -

Temperature dial

• Do not place the device where humidity or temperature are high as the device may
be damaged.

• Do not drill holes in the device nor mount other objects to it.

• Do not store any heavy, poisonous or rusting objects.

• The electrical circuit in the socket must be secured to at least 16A. Only connect the

device directly to the wall socket; do not use any extension cords or power strips.

• Place the device so that the plug is easily accessible and can be quickly removed
from its socket in case of necessity.

5.3 Operation

• Before using the device and its equipment, wash with warm water and a mild
cleaning agent. Rinse with clean water, then dry thoroughly.

• Before connecting the device to a power source leave the device upright for 4 hours.

• Connect the device to a single grounded outlet.

Controls

needed using the switch.

Temperature regulation

• The temperature is set using the temperature dial, located inside the device at its top.

• In order to set the temperature, turn the temperature dial clockwise to the desired

position (between 1 -7).

• Position "1" is the highest setting, and "7" the lowest temperature (temperature
values, see 4.2 "Technical information").

• To turn the device off, turn the temperature regulator to the position marked "0".

• When the device is turned on for the first time or has remained unused for a

longer period, set the temperature dial to "7" for at least 3-4 hours prior to
placing bottles inside the cooler. Next, set the desired temperature.

Shelves / grates

• The bottle cooler is equipped with 5 shelves for bottles and 1 flat shelf. Shelves

for bottles and the flat shelf are removable.

• The shelves for bottles ②are mounted in
the slot located at the rear of the interior,

to avoid slipping when removing bottles.

prevents bottles from touching the rear wall,
allowing for the free circulation of air
throughout the device.

Tips and advice

• The bottle cooler is best for storing 0.75 litre bottles. The maximum capacity is
based on bottles of this size.

• When filling the device, always ensure that the bottles do not block the door from
closing.

• Placing a large number of bottles at once inside the device lengthens the time
needed for them to cool to the desired temperature.

• To ensure optimal temperature selection, store bottles containing the same type of
beverage if possible.

• A greater number of full bottles in the cabinet, as well as keeping the door open for a
long time, increase energy use. Do not overfill the device, and do not leave the door
open longer than necessary.

• To minimize temperature loss in the device, the door should be kept open for the
shortest possible time. Do not open the door more frequently than necessary.

• In the event of a power outage, avoid opening the door to prevent loss of cold air.

• After a power outage or after removing the device’s plug from its socket, do not

connect the device to a power source for at least 5 minutes.

6. Cleaning and maintenance
