WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your unit, follow these basic precautions:
• Read all instructions before using the unit.
• Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the unit.
• Never clean unit parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Always turn the power on/off switch (located behind the air grille on top right side) to the OFF position before attempting to change
light bulbs, clean, or service the unit.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
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.
It is your responsibility to be sure your wine cellar is:
• located so the front is not blocked to restrict incoming or discharge air flow.
• properly leveled.
• located in a well ventilated area.
• connected to the proper kind of outlet, with the correct electric supply and grounding. A 115V, 60 Hz, 15 amp fused electrical
supply is required. NOTE: Time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
• not used by anyone unable to operate it properly.
• used only for its intended purpose.
• properly maintained.
•SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS•
PROPER DISPOSAL (OF OLD REFRIGERATION UNIT)
DANGER
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigeration Unit:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past.
Junked or abandoned refrigeration units are still dangerous... even if they will sit for
“just a few days.”
IMPORTANT:
Now that you have a new wine cellar, it is extremely important that you dispose of your
old appliance in a way that minimizes the possibility that children will find it. There
have been many cases in years past of children crawling inside junked and abandoned
refrigeration units and becoming trapped or suffocated.
Contact your municipal waste disposal authority to find out the best and safest way to
dispose of your old refrigeration unit.
