1.After unpacking the appliance, make sure that the door shuts properly.
Any damage must be reported to your dealer within 24 hours after delivery of the appliance.
2.Wait at least two hours before connecting the appliance to the power supply in order to ensure the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
•The wine cellar must be used solely and exclusively for storing wine; do not place any type of food inside it.
•Do not cover or obstruct the air vents of the appliance.
•Do not allow children to play or hide inside the appliance - risk of becoming trapped and suffocating.
•Before servicing or cleaning the appliance, unplug it from the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply.
•The power cable may only be replaced by an authorised person.
Information
Appliances with Isobutane (R600a)
Isobutane is a natural gas with low environmental impact. Caution is required, however, since isobutane is flammable. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that refrigerant pipelines are not damaged.
Important:
•If a large number of bottles are placed in the cellar at the one time, it may take a few days before a constant temperature is reached.
•Important! Storage temperature must never drop below +6 °C
•When in operation, water droplets and frost form on the walls of the cellar. These are part of normal operation. You don't have to remove the frost or dry the water droplets. The rear wall is defrosted automatically. The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a container from which it evaporates.
Bottle arrangement tips
•Place the bottles in the middle of the rack.
•On closing the door, make sure the bottles don't touch the glass.
•Important: spirits and liqueurs should be airtight and stored in the upright position.
•Do not use the appliance to store explosive substances.
•The temperature may vary in different areas inside the appliance due to the circulating air:
it is colder closest to the rear wall and warmer beside the glass door.
•Remove bottles from packaging, do not store them inside crates or boxes.
•Maximum holding capacities for classic 0.75l bordolese bottles are as follows: h 1400 mm holds 111 bottles, h 1600 mm holds 131 bottles.
