concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.

Child entrapment and suffocation are

abandoned Wine Coolers/Beverage
Centers are still dangerous – even if they
will sit for “just a few days”. If you are
getting rid of your old unit, please follow
the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.

We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal methods.
Check with your utility company or visit
www.recyclemyoldfridge.com for more
information on recycling your old Wine
Cooler/Beverage Center.

Before you throw away your old Wine
Cooler/Beverage Center:

• Remove doors.

• Leave shelves in place so children may
not easily climb inside.

• Have refrigerant removed by a
qualified service technician.

Safety

Electrical Information

• The Wine Cooler/Beverage Center
must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp,
AC only electrical outlet. The power
cord of the appliance is equipped
with a three-prong grounding plug
for your protection against electrical
shock hazards. It must be plugged
directly into a properly grounded three
prong receptacle. The receptacle
must be installed in accordance with
local codes and ordinances. Consult a
qualified electrician. Avoid connecting
refrigerator to a Ground Fault
Interruptor (GFI) circuit. Do not use an
extension cord or adapter plug.

• If the power cord is damaged, it
should be replaced by an authorized
service technician to prevent any risk.

• Never unplug the wine cooler by
pulling on the power cord. Always
grip the plug firmly, and pull straight
out from the receptacle to prevent
damaging the power cord.

• Unplug the Wine Cooler/Beverage
Center before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical
shock.

• Performance may be affected if
the voltage varies by 10% or more.
Operating the Wine Cooler/Beverage
Center with insufficient power can
damage the compressor. Such
damage is not covered under your
warranty.

• Do not plug the unit into an electrical
outlet controlled by a wall switch or
pull cord to prevent the Wine Cooler/
Beverage Center from being turned off
accidentally.
