 Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and

sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).

 WARNING: This appliance is CFC- and HFC-

free and contains small quantities of Isobutane
(R600a) which is environmentally friendly, but
flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer,
nor does it increase the greenhouse effect. Care
must be taken during transportation and setting
up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling
system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite
and may damage the eyes.

In the event of any damage:

- Avoid open flames and anything which creates
a spark,

- Disconnect from the mains,

- Air the room in which the appliance is located
for several minutes and

- Contact the Service Department for advice.

 The more coolant there is in an appliance, the

larger the room it should be installed in. In the
event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small
room, there is the danger of combustible gases
building up. For every 8 g of coolant at least 1
cubic meter of room space is required. The
amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on
the data plate inside the appliance. It is
hazardous for anyone other than an Authorised

INSTALLATION

BEFORE USING YOUR WINE STORAGE

 Remove all exterior and interior packing. Clean

the interior surface with lukewarm water using a
soft cloth. The unit may have residual odors at
first, they will disappear as the unit cools.

 Before connecting the Wine Storage to the

power source, let it stand upright for at least 24
hours. This will reduce the possibility of a
malfunction in the cooling system caused by
handling during transportation. During this time
we recommend that you leave the door open to
clear any residual odors.

 The door on this appliance can be opened from

either the left or the right side. The unit is
delivered with the door opening on the left side.
Should you wish to open the door from the right,
follow the instructions ‘Reversing the door hinge’.

 Install the handle on the door if necessary.

INSTALLATION OF YOUR WINE STORAGE

 The appliances are designed to be built-in or

recessed or free standing installation.

 WARNING: Do not store or install the appliance

outdoors. The unit is intended to be used in
household.

 Place your appliance on a floor that is strong

enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To
level your unit, adjust the front leveling leg at the
bottom of the unit.

 For freestanding installation, 100mm of space

between the back and sides of the unit are
suggested, which allows the proper air
circulation to cool the compressor and
condenser for energy saving. Even for built-in
installation, it is a must to keep 5mm space on
each side and at the top to ensure proper
service access and ventilation. Take care that
the air vent at the front of the appliance must
never be covered or blocked in any way.

 Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and

sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and
heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extreme cold ambient
temperatures may also cause the unit not to
perform properly.
