IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic
precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
injury to persons, including the following:

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Read all instructions carefully, even if you are
quite familiar with the appliance.

 The appliance is intended to be used for the

storage of wine. Use this appliance only as
described in this manual. Other uses not
recommended may cause fire, electric shock or
personal injury.

 This appliance can be used by

children aged from 8 years
and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge if
they have been given
supervision or instruction
concerning use of the
appliance in a safe way and
understand the hazards
involved. Children shall not
play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be
made by children without
supervision.

 Electrical devices are not toys. Always keep

the device out of the reach of children. Keep the
mains cord out of the reach of children. Do not
let the mains cord hang over the edge of the
table or worktop on which the appliance stands.

 To protect against the risk of electric shock, DO

NOT IMMERSE the unit, cord, or plug in water
or spray any other liquid.

 Unplug the appliance from the plug socket when

not in use, when moving from one location to
another and before cleaning.

 To disconnect the appliance, grip the plug and

pull it from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.

 WARNING: Please keep the appliance away

Code Rev. D 20140818 (IEC)

from substance, which can cause ignition. Do
not operate the appliance in the presence of
explosive and/or flammable fumes.

 Do not place the appliance or any of its part near

an open flame, cooking or other heating
appliance.

 Do not operate the appliance with a damage

cord or plug, if the product malfunctions, or if it is
dropped or damaged in any manner. If the
supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, or an authorized service
centre or similarly qualified persons in order to
avoid a hazard.

 The use of attachments not recommended by

the manufacturer may be hazardous.

 Place the unit on a dry level surface.
 Do not operate if the housing is removed or

damaged.

 A loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle)

and plug may cause overheating and a distortion

of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to

replace loose or worn outlet.

 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

NON-REWIREABLE MAINS PLUG

If your appliance is supplied with a non-rewireable

plug fitted to the mains lead, you will find that it

incorporates a fuse, the value of which is indicated
either on the base of the plug or on the fuse carrier.
Should the fuse need replacing, you must use an
ASTA approved one (conforming to BS1362) of the
same rating.

If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used
until a replacement is obtained from an electrical
supplier.

If you need to remove the plug, cut it from the mains
lead and immediately dispose of it. Never attempt to
re-use this plug or insert it into a socket outlet as
there is a very great risk of an electric shock.

This appliance is equipped with a plug fitted with a
13 amp fuse. Should the fuse fail, then it must be
replaced with an ASTA approved fuse (conforming
to BS1362) of the same rating. If you need to
replace the plug or if the plug is of the incorrect type
for your socket, remove it and replace it with an
appropriate type. Dispose of the old plug safely.

INSTALLATION

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE

 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 appliance 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’.

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.

 Plug the unit into an exclusive, easily accessible

plug socket. Any questions concerning power
and/or earthing should be directed towards a
qualified electrician or an authorized products
service centre.

 The appliance must be installed to all electrical,

plumbing, water and drain connections in
accordance with state and local codes.

 IMPORTANT: HIGH HUMIDITY CLIMATE.

During periods of high humidity, some
condensation may appear on outside surfaces of
glass door. This condensation will disappear
when humidity levels drop. For prevention, it is
advisable to install the appliance with sufficient
ventilation in a dry and/or an air-conditioned
place.

BUILT-UNDER INSTRUCTIONS

Make sure your installation does not block the front
ventilation grille. The unit is designed to fit under
worktops between 820 and 890mm in height, using
the adjustable ventilation grille to ensure that the
feet are concealed from front view. Remove the
adjustable ventilation grille screws and slide it to the
required height. Tighten the screws to lock the grille
in position.
If the unit is fully integrated to be installed for fitting
kitchen plinth, make sure that the ventilation gaps in
the plinth are at least 300 square centimeters and
remove the ventilation grilles, so that warm air can
disperse unhindered. Otherwise the appliance has to
work harder, resulting in an increase in electricity
consumption.

NOTE: When pushing the appliance into the niche,
make sure that the mains cable does not get trapped.
