General Remarks
Electrical Requirements & Safety
A 15 amp or 20 amp, 110-120 VAC, circuit which is
grounded and protected by a circuit breaker or fuse is
required.
We recommend using a dedicated circuit for each
appliance to prevent circuit overload and the chance of
interruption to the appliance.
The appliances are equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) polarized plug for protection against possible
shock hazards.
Comply with the National Electrical Code as well
as local codes and ordinances when installing the
receptacle.
WARNING!
Electrocution hazard.
Electrical grounding required.
Do not remove the round grounding
•
prong from the plug.

For outdoor use, connect this appliance to
a GFCI receptacle only.
Failure to follow these instructions may
result in fire, electrical shock or death.
IMPORTANT
Do not place the appliance where it may be in
standing water or where the power cord may be
immersed.
Do not use extension cords or
•
ungrounded (two-prong) adapters.
• Donotuseapowercordthatisfrayedor
damaged.

appliance.
Safety Regulations
The appliances are designed to cool and store wine and
beverages.
The appliances are manufactured to operate within
specific ambient temperature limits according to its
climate rating.
The climate rating indicates the ambient temperature at
which the appliance may be operated in order to deliver
optimal refrigeration performance.
The climate rating for each model is visible in chapter
"Specifications".
Climate Rating Ambient Temperature
SN 50°F to 90°F (10°C to 32°C)N 61°F to 90°F (16°C to 32°C)ST 61°F to 100°F (16°C to 38°C)T 61°F to 109°F (16°C to 43°C)SN-ST 50°F to 100°F (10°C to 38°C)

IMPORTANT
Do not operate the appliance outside the specified
ambient temperature range.
IMPORTANT
To protect the refrigerator from possible damage,
allow the appliance to stand 1 hour in place before
turning the electricity on. This allows the refrigerant
and system lubrication to reach equilibrium.
The refrigerant R600a contained within the
appliances is environmentally friendly, but
flammable. Leaking refrigerant can ignite.
To prevent possible ignition, designed
ventilation is required.
These models can be assembled side by side using a
SBS kit. Please see accessories section for kit number.
