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.

• Use this appliance only as described in this

manual. Other uses not recommended may
cause fire, electric shock or personal injury.

• This appliance is not intended for use by

persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory and mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

• Young children should be supervised

to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.

• To protect against the risk of electric shock,

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

• 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.

• Do not operate the appliance in the presence

of explosive and/or flammable gases.

• Do not place the appliance or any of its parts

near an open flame, cooking or other heating
appliance.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not operate the appliance with a damaged

cord or plug, if the product malfunctions, or if it
is dropped or damaged in any manner.

• 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 the loose or worn outlet.

• Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and

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

• This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and

contains small quantities of Isobutane
(R600a), an environmentally friendly coolant.

• You must ensure that the cooling circuit is

undamaged when installing the appliance. If
it becomes damaged, avoid proximity to open
fires and heat sources of all kinds. The room
in which the appliance is located should be
ventilated for a few minutes.

• Never use an appliance with a damaged

circuit.

• Ensure that the ventilation openings to and

from a built-in appliance are never blocked
or covered. No liability will be accepted for
any damage incurred owing to misuse of the
appliance or as a result of repairs carried out
by unqualified personnel. In this case neither
the guarantee nor any other liability claims will
apply.

WARNING: Do not operate any electrical

appliance inside the Wine Cooler.

WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant

circuit.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock or personal injury, unplug
or disconnect the appliance from the
power supply before servicing.

Connection to the
Mains Supply

Check that the voltage marked on the product
corresponds with your supply voltage.

This product is fitted with a 13A plug complying
with BS1363. If this plug is unsuitable or needs to
be replaced, please note the following:

WARNING:
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

Important: The wires in the mains lead are

coloured in accordance with the following code:

GREEN/YELLOW - EARTH
BLUE - NEUTRAL
BROWN - LIVE

This appliance is fitted with a plug which has a
3 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 plug. Dispose of the
old plug safely.

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead
of this appliance may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows: The GREEN/YELLOW
wire is the EARTH and must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘E’ or
by the earth symbol or coloured GREEN or
GREEN/YELLOW.

The BLUE wire is the NEUTRAL and must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with
the letter ‘N’ or coloured BLACK.

The BROWN wire is the LIVE wire and must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with
the Letter ‘L’ or coloured RED.

Always ensure that the plug cord grip is fastened
correctly.

If in doubt consult a qualified electrician who
will be pleased to do this for you. This product
conforms to EC Directive 92/31 /EEC with respect
to Electromagnetic Compatibility.

NON-REWIREABLE MAINS PLUG

If your appliance is supplied with a nonrewireable
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.

Disposal of Your Old
Appliance

Dispose of your appliance packaging properly.

Refrigeration equipment must be properly
disposed of in a way which protects the
environment. This applies to your old appliance
and to your new unit once it has reached the end
of its service life.

WARNING: Please ensure that old, worn

appliances are rendered unusable before disposal
by removing the plug, cutting the network cable,
and removing or destroying any snap fastenings
or bolts. You will thus prevent children from
locking themselves in the appliance during play
(risk of suffocation) or endangering their lives in
any other way.

Disposal instructions:

• The appliance must not be disposed of in the

dustbin or with normal household rubbish.

• The coolant circuit, particularly the heat

exchanger at the back/bottom of the unit, must
not be damaged.

• The symbol on the product or its packaging

indicates that this product is not to be handled
as normal household waste but is to be taken
to a recycling collection point for electrical and
electronic goods. By correctly disposing of this
product you are contributing to the protection
of the environment and to the health of your
fellow human beings. Improper disposal
endangers health and the environment.
Further information about the recycling of
the product may be obtained from your town
hall, refuse collection department or the store
where you purchased the product.
