DANGER: Risk of Child Entrapment
Junked or abandoned appliances are dangerous. Before you throw away
your old wine refrigerator, take off the door, but leave the shelves in
place so that children may not easily climb inside. Never allow children

cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug, which is
compatible with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the
