Warning (Important Safety Instruction)
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high
environmental compatibility, but it is also combustible. When transporting and installing the
appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.
Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected,
avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance
is standing for several minutes.
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs,
the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used.
The room must be 1m2in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of
refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance.
Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
ww
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of
obstruction.
ww
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other
than those recommended by the manufacturer.
ww
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
ww
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance,
unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
ww
The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal
procedures. When disposal, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualified
person.

If this happens
When cooling capability weakens
When a large amount of wine is placed into the
refrigerator, more time is needed to reach the
desired temperature and get stabilized. (Sudden
changes in temperature are the main reason for
damage to wine flavor)
When power is off
Avoid opening the refrigerator door frequently
and add no more wine for storage (to prevent the
interior temperature from rising).
After power is restored, the displayed
temperature should be 8°C. Reset is needed.
(see page 15)
When light bulb malfunctions
Contact with the shop or after-sales service
center.
When unit stays idle for a long time
Disconnect power supply and clean refrigerator
interior. Open the door for 2-3 days to dry the
refrigerator (To prevent mold and bad odor).
When the refrigerator is restarted, the displayed
temperature should be 14°C. Reset is needed.

The Correct Way to Store Wine
Before Storage
At the Time of Setting...
Thoroughly clean the refrigerator interior.
Put wine into the refrigerator around 4 hours after
power is turned on.
When outdoor temperature is high, as in summer, the
cooling time may exceed 4 hours.
When placing wine into the refrigerator
At the time of cleaning!
For extended storage, wine labels must
be protected with plastic foil.
(To prevent the labels from falling or
molding)

The Correct Way to Store Wine
Loading Direction
• General Shelf: When placing in the wine, place
• Bottom Shelf: Bottom shelf can hold 4 bottles,
the wine bottle in alternate
directions as shown in the
picture.
maximum 9 bottles.
Wine Storage in the Decoration Cabinet
GR-W141BXG
• Bottles with remaining wine inside should be recorked for
storage.
• Bottles may break if the cork is forced into them.
• Sediment may appear with different categories of wines,
their storing states in shops and their storage durations, but
that does not mean the wine has become deteriorated and
harmful.
17
Cleaning
Clean the shelves and the refrigerator interior thoroughly once every year with power plug
disconnected.
1. Before cleaning
Power plug must be pulled out first to secure the
cleaning.
2. Please do not use the following articles for
cleaning
Please do not use articles that can damage the
refrigerator surface and its accessories, which include
abrasive grain, petroleum, benzene, chlorohydric acid,
solvent, hot water, brush, etc.
3. Do not wash with water
To wash the refrigerator directly with water will cause
electricity leakage or other faults.
4. Cleaning refrigerator surface
Clean with soft towels dipped in warm water or detergent.
If neutral detergent is used, it must be cleaned with clean
towels.
5. Cleaning door seals
Dirty door seals will get aged and damaged easily and
that will cause cold air leakages.
18
These are Not Faults
There are abnormal noises inside the refrigerator
• Sound of coolant flowing.
There are cooling pipes in the rear, which often make noises. But that is not a fault.
Bulb is off when the door is either closed or opened
• Press “On/Off” button to turn on the bulb and it ill automatically turn off an hour later.
• Press “On/Off” button again to turn off the bulb before closing the door.
Condensation drops on the door seal
• Condensate drops may appear on the door seal interface when outdoor temperature is high and
humidity is thick.
Wipe them away with dry cloth.
Condensate Drops
Condensate drops on the surface
• Same as what happens when icy water is filled into
a glass, i.e. condensate drops will appear on its
outer surface.
Condensate drops will appear when warm and humid
air touches the unit in the rainy season, especially in
summer. Wipe them away with dry cloth.
Condensate drops in interior
• Condensate drops will appear in interior if the door
is opened frequently when it is hot and humid.
About 5-10 minutes later, the glass will become clean
and transparent. This is not a fault.
Odor
New product, but with odor
• Same as a new car or new furniture which will give
off new odor.
The odor from the new product may come from plastic
accessories or other various accessories used inside.
