The environment - Disposal instructions

1. THE ENVIRONMENT - DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

OUR WINE CELLARS ARE PACKAGED USING NON-POLLUTANT, ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY, RECYCLABLE MATERIALS. WE URGE YOU TO COOPERATE BY DISPOSING OF THE PACKAGING PROPERLY. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL DEALER OR THE COMPETENT LOCAL ORGANISATIONS FOR THE ADDRESSES OF COLLECTION, RECYCLING AND DISPOSAL FACILITIES.

NEVER LEAVE ALL OR PARTS OF THE PACKAGING LYING AROUND: PACKAGING PARTS, AND ESPECIALLY PLASTIC BAGS, MAY REPRESENT A SUFFOCATION HAZARD FOR CHILDREN.

IMPORTANT: YOUR OLD APPLIANCE MUST ALSO BE DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.

DELIVER THE APPLIANCE TO YOUR LOCAL ORGANISATION AUTHORISED TO COLLECT SCRAPPED APPLIANCES. PROPER DISPOSAL ALLOWS THE INTELLIGENT RECOVERY OF VALUABLE MATERIALS. REFRIGERATION APPLIANCES CONTAIN GASES WHICH MAY DAMAGE THE ENVIRONMENT; IT IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THAT THE REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT PIPELINES ARE NOT DAMAGED UNTIL THE COMPETENT SERVICE HAS TAKEN DELIVERY OF THE APPLIANCE.

BEFORE SCRAPPING YOUR APPLIANCE IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMOVE DOORS AND LEAVE SHELVES IN POSITION AS FOR USE, TO ENSURE THAT CHILDREN CANNOT ACCIDENTALLY BECOME TRAPPED INSIDE DURING PLAY. ALSO, CUT THE POWER SUPPLY LEAD AND REMOVE IT AND THE PLUG.

BY LAW, APPLIANCES MUST ONLY BE DISPOSED OF AT SUITABLY EQUIPPED FACILITIES.

IN YOUR INTEREST AND TO ENSURE YOUR SAFETY, BY LAW ALL ELECTRIC APPLIANCES MUST ONLY BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY QUALIFIED STAFF, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RELEVANT REGULATIONS.

GAS OR ELECTRIC APPLIANCES MUST ALWAYS BE DISCONNECTED BY SUITABLY SKILLED PEOPLE.

THIS MANUAL CONSTITUTES AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE APPLIANCE: TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT AND KEEP IT TO HAND THROUGHOUT THE APPLIANCE'S LIFE CYCLE. WE URGE YOU TO READ

THIS MANUAL AND ALL THE INFORMATION IT CONTAINS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE. INSTALLATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED STAFF IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE RELEVANT REGULATIONS. THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE AND COMPLIES WITH THE EEC DIRECTIVES CURRENTLY IN FORCE. THE APPLIANCE IS BUILT TO PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING FUNCTION: COOLING OF DRINKS; ALL OTHER USES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED IMPROPER.

THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL LIABILITY FOR USES OTHER THAN THOSE STATED ABOVE.

NEVER USE THIS APPLIANCE FOR COOLING ROOMS.

THIS APPLIANCE IS TAGGED UNDER EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC ON WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (WEEE).

THIS DIRECTIVE CONTAINS THE REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE COLLECTION AND RECYCLING OF DECOMMISSIONED APPLIANCES THROUGHOUT THE EUROPEAN UNION.

NEVER OBSTRUCT THE OPENINGS AND SLITS PROVIDED FOR VENTILATION AND HEAT DISPERSAL.

SETTING THE THERMOSTATS TOO LOW IN SUMMER CAUSES CONSIDERABLY INCREASED ICE FORMATION ON THE BACK OF THE APPLIANCE, SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING ITS EFFICIENCY. DURING THE SUMMER OR WHENEVER THE WEATHER IS PARTICULARLY HOT AND/OR HUMID, THE WINE CELLAR SHOULD BE KEPT AT A FAIRLY HIGH SETTING TO PREVENT ICE FROM BUILDING UP IN THE BACK OF THE INTERIOR, CAUSING LOSS OF EFFICIENCY.

DURING OPERATION, THE APPLIANCE'S REAR SURFACE MAY HEAT UP CONSIDERABLY; THIS IS QUITE NORMAL AND DOES NOT INDICATE A MALFUNCTION.

THE NAMEPLATE WITH THE TECHNICAL DATA, SERIAL NUMBER AND MARKING ARE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT-HAND CORNER OF THE WINE CELLAR'S INTERIOR.

THE NAMEPLATE MUST NEVER BE REMOVED.

IT IS BEST TO OPEN THE DOOR AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE, PARTICULARLY IN HOT WEATHER. OPENING THE DOOR OFTEN OR LEAVING IT OPEN WILL CAUSE VARIATIONS IN TEMPERATURE INSIDE THE APPLIANCE WHICH MIGHT LEAD DETERIORATION OF THE WINE'S CONDITION.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for injury or damage caused by failure to comply with the above regulations or deriving from tampering with even just one part of the appliance and the use of non-original spare parts.

Instructions for the Installer

4. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

Always place the wine cellar in a dry place with satisfactory ventilation. Never expose it to direct sunlight or install it outdoors. Depending on its climate class (stated on the nameplate inside), the wine cellar can be used in different temperature conditions:

Class	Ambient temperature
SN (Subnormal)	from + 10° C to + 32° C
N (Normal)	from + 16° C to + 32° C
ST (Subtropical)	from + 18° C to + 38° C
T (Tropical)	from + 18° C to + 43° C

Never place the wine cellar close to heat sources unless strictly necessary. If this is unavoidable, a suitable insulating panel must be used to allow the appliance to function properly. Otherwise, place the appliance at least 3 cm from electric or gas cookers and at least 30 cm from combustion or radiation heating systems.

To allow proper cooling of the condenser, the wine cellar must not be placed too close to the wall. Leave a gap of at least 5 cm between the back of the appliance and the wall. There must be an opening of at

least 200 cm2 behind the wine cellar. If the wine cellar is installed underneath a wall cupboard, the distance between the two must be at least 5 cm.

Take care not to scratch or damage the floor when installing the appliance on parquet or linoleum. The surface on which the appliance is to be placed must be level. Do not use a frame or similar.

The appliance can be installed as a freestanding unit against a wall, built into a kitchen element, or lined up with other appliances (see figures below).
