IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
2
When using an electrical appliance, basic
precautions should always be followed.
Read all instructions carefully, even if
you are already familiar with the
appliance.
General Safety
Before the appliance is used, it must be
properly positioned and installed as
described in this manual, so read the
manual carefully. To reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury when using
the appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove grounding prong, do
not use an adapter, and do not use an
extension cord.
• A separate circuit serving only your
appliance must be provided. Use
receptacles that cannot be turned off
by a switch or pull chain.
• Never clean appliance parts with
flammable fluids. These fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion. And
do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
The 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 appliance or
disconnect 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.
• Replace all panels after service
before operating.
• The appliance is intended to be
used for the storage of wine.
• Use two or more people to move
and install the appliance. Failure
to do so can result in back or
other injury.
• Do not store or install the
appliance outdoors.
• To ensure proper ventilation for
your appliance, the front of the
unit must be completely
unobstructed. Choose a wellventilated area with
temperatures above 60°F (16°C)
and below 90°F (32°C). This unit
must be installed in an area
protected from the elements,
such as wind, rain, water spray or
drips.
• The appliance must be installed
with all electrical, water and drain
connections in accordance with
state and local codes. A standard
3
electrical supply (115V AC only, 60
Hz), properly grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and
local codes and ordinances, is
required.
• Do not kink or pinch the power supply
cord of the appliance.
• The size of the fuse (or circuit breaker)
should be 15 amperes.
• Never allow children to operate, play
with or crawl inside the appliance.
• Do not use solvent-based cleaning
agents or abrasives on the interior.
These cleaners may damage or
discolor the interior.
• Use this appliance only for its
intended purpose as described in this
manual.
• Keep fingers out of the “pinch point”
areas. Clearances between the door
and cabinet are necessarily small. Be
careful closing the door when children
are in the area.
• If your model requires defrosting,
never use an ice pick or other sharp
instrument to help speed up
defrosting. These instruments can
puncture the inner lining or damage
the cooling unit. Never use an
appliance with a damaged refrigerant
circuit.
• Do not use mechanical devices or
other means to accelerate the
defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
• Keep ventilation openings, in the
appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.
• If you have a lockable appliance,
do not keep the key near the
appliance or within reach of
children.
Disposal
Dispose of your appliance packaging
properly. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed
of safely and kept out of the reach
of babies and young children.
Danger of suffocation!
Refrigeration equipment must be
properly disposed of in a
professional and appropriate way,
in accordance with the current local
regulations and laws which protect
the environment. This applies to
your old appliance and to your new
unit once it has reached the end of
its service life.
Risk of child entrapment!
Child entrapment and suffocation
are not just problems of the past.
Junked or abandoned appliances
are still dangerous, even if they will
“just sit for a few days”.
Before discarding your old
refrigerator:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that
children may not easily climb
inside.

Warning: Improper use of the grounded
plug can result in the risk of electrical
shock. If the power cord is damaged,
have it replaced by a qualified
electrician or an authorized service
center.
This appliance should be properly
grounded for your safety. The power
cord is equipped with a three-prong
plug which mates with standard three-
prong wall outlets to minimize the
possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from
the power cord supplied.
All electrical work should be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person in accordance with local and
national safety regulations.
Check that the voltage marked on
the product corresponds with your
supply voltage.
This appliance requires a standard
115/120V AC ~ 60Hz three-prong
grounded electrical outlet. Have the
wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the
outlet is properly grounded. When a
standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your responsibility
to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The appliance must not be used with a
plug adapter as these can cause damage
to the appliance’s electronic unit.
The cord should be placed securely
behind the appliance and should
not be allowed to lie or hang
unprotected.
The appliance should always be
plugged into its own individual
electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating label
on the appliance. This provides the
best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits
that could cause a fire hazard from
overheating. Never unplug the
appliance by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly and
pull straight out from the receptacle.
Repair or replace immediately all
power cords that have become
frayed or otherwise damaged. Do
not use a cord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length or
at either end. When moving the
appliance, be careful not to damage
the power cord.
Warning:
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED.
EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards
under certain condition, it is strongly
recommended that you do not use
an extension cord with this
appliance. However, if you must use
an extension cord, it is absolutely
necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed,
3-wire grounding type plug and
outlet and that the electrical rating
of the cord be 115 volts and at least
10 amperes.
