Important Safeguards
EN
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
injury to persons, including the following:
For Your Safety
Read all instructions carefully, even if you are quite familiar with
the appliance.
• The appliance is intended to be used exclusively for the storage
of wine.
• Use this appliance only as described in this manual. Other uses
not recommended may cause fire, electric shock or personal
injury.
• This appliance is not intended for use by young children or
infirm persons unless they have been adequately supervised by
a responsible person
to ensure that they can use the appliance safely.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
• To protect against the risk of electric shock, DO NOT IMMERSE
the unit, cord, or plug in water or spray any other liquid.
• Unplug the appliance from the plug socket when not in use,
when moving from one location to another and before cleaning.
• To disconnect the appliance, grip the plug and pull it from the
wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.
• Do not operate the appliance in the presence of explosive and/
or flammable fumes.
• Do not place the appliance or any of its part near an open flame,
cooking or other heating appliance.
• Do not operate the appliance with a damage cord or plug, if
the product malfunctions, or if it is dropped or damage in any
manner.
• The use of attachments not recommended by the manufacturer
may be hazardous.
• Place the unit on a dry level surface.
• Do not operate if the housing is removed or damaged.
• A loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may
cause overheating and a distortion of the plug. Contact a
qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.
• Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat
(stove, heater, radiator, etc.).
• This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small
quantities of Isobutane (R600a), an environmentally friendly
coolant.
• You must ensure that the cooling circuit is undamaged when
installing the appliance. However, if it becomes damaged, avoid
proximity to open fires and heat sources of all kinds. The room
in which the appliance is located should be ventilated for a few
minutes.
• Never use an appliance with a damaged circuit.
• Ensure that the ventilation openings to and from a built-
in appliance are never blocked or covered. No liability will
be accepted for any damage incurred owing to misuse of the
appliance or as a result of repairs carried out by unqualified
personnel. In this case neither the guarantee nor any other
liability claims will apply.
• WARNING: Do not operate any electrical appliance inside the
appliance.
• 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 before operating.
• Use two or more people to move and install the appliance.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
• 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.
• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands
are wet.
• It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your
appliance be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off
by a switch or pull chain.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal
injury, unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power supply
before servicing.
• This appliance must not be used by person with affected mental
capacities (including children), lack of experience or knowledge,
excepting under the supervision of an experimented and
responsible person.
• Make sure children do not play with the appliance.
Save These Instructions
If you are experiencing problems, check the Troubleshooting
Guide at the back of this manual. It lists causes of minor
operating problems that you can correct yourself.
Disposal of Old Appliance
Dispose of your appliance packaging properly.
Refrigeration equipment must be properly disposed of in a
way which protects the environment. This applies to your old
appliance and to your new unit once it has reached the end of
its service life.
WARNING: Please ensure that old, worn appliances are
rendered unusable before disposal by removing the plug,
cutting the network cable, and removing or destroying any snap
fastenings or bolts. You will thus prevent children from locking
themselves in the appliance during play (risk of suffocation) or
endangering their lives in any other way.
