IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when
using your appliance, follow these basic precautions

 Read all instructions before using the wine cooler.

 Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove grounding prong, do not use an

adapter, and do not use an extension cord.

 It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your wine cooler, be provided.

Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

 Never clean wine cooler parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire

hazard or explosion.

 Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power

line of the unit is disconnected.

 Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
 Unplug the wine cooler or disconnect the power before cleaning or servicing. Failure

to do so can result in electrical shock or death.

 Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.

 Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity

of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

 Use two or more people to move and install the wine cooler. Failure to do so can

result in back or other injury.

 To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the unit must be

completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 61°F
(16°C) and below 95°F (35°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the
elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.

 The wine cooler should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high

heat.

 The wine cooler must be installed with all electrical connections in accordance with

state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115V AC only, 60 Hz), properly
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances, is required.

 To avoid damaging the door gasket, be sure the door is fully open when pulling out

shelves.

 Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the appliance.
 The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amps.
 It is important for the wine cooler to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need

to make several adjustments to level it.

 Although the unit has been tested at the factory, due to transit and storage, you should

clean the appliance before use.

 Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners

may damage or discolor the interior.

 Do not use this apparatus for other than residential purposes.

 This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains a small quantity of Isobutane

(R600a) which is environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the
ozone layer, nor does it increase the greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during
transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are
damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the eyes.

In the event of any damage:

- Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,

- Disconnect from the electrical power line,

- Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes and

- Contact the Service Department for advice.

 The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in.

In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of
combustible gases building up. For every ounce of coolant at least 325 cubic feet of
room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the rating
label. It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorized Service Person to carry out
servicing or repairs to this appliance.

 Take serious care when handling, moving, and using the appliance to avoid either

damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

 Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service

personnel so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or
improper service.

DANGER! Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or

abandoned appliances are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a

few days”.

 Before you throw away your old wine cooler or any appliance: Remove the

door. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

 Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance.
