Electrical connection
~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 an authorized Avanti service center.
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance 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.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong.
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 and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The cord should be secured behind
the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
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
prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug
the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the
receptacle. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid hazard. 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.
Extension cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, 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 appliance extension cord having
a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10
amperes.
Power bar with surge protection
Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are very
susceptible to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.
If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power surges / outages;
it is suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices / appliances you use. The
surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the appliance it is
connected to. If you have any questions regarding the type and size of surge protector needed contact
a licensed electrician in your area.
Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your
product warranty.

INSTRUCCIONES PARA LA CONEXION A TIERRA
Este aparato electrodoméstico debe estar conectado a tierra. En caso de un cortocircuito eléctrico, la
conexión a tierra reduce el riesgo de choque eléctrico proporcionando un cable a tierra con un
enchufe de conexión a tierra. Este enchufe debe estar conectado en un tomacorriente instalado
correctamente y conectado a tierra.
ADVERTENCIA – El uso inadecuado del enchufe de conexión a tierra puede resultar en un riesgo de
choque eléctrico. Consulte con un electricista o persona de reparaciones competente si no
comprenden bien las instrucciones de conexión a tierra o si existe alguna duda sobre si el aparato
está conectado a tierra correctamente.
NO USE UN CORDON DE PROLONGACION ELECTRICA
Use un tomacorriente de pared exclusivo. No conecte su vinera a cordones de prolongación eléctrica
o junto a cualquier otro electrodoméstico en el mismo tomacorriente de pared.
ADVERTENCIA IMPORTANTE:
Una vinera vacía es una atracción muy peligrosa para los niños. Saque todas las juntas,
pestillos, tapas o puerta de todo electrodoméstico que no esté en uso, o tome alguna
medida para asegurar que no presente peligro.
INSTRUCCIONES DE INSTALACION
Saque los embalajes exteriores, limpie bien el exterior con un paño suave seco, y el interior con un
paño húmedo y tibio. Evite colocar la vinera cerca de una fuente de calor, luz de sol directa, o lugar
húmedo.
Ubicación
1. Seleccione un lugar con su piso fuerte y nivelado.
2. Evite la luz directa del sol o calor. La luz directa del sol puede afectar la capa de acrílico.
Las fuentes de calor en su proximidad provocarán un consumo mayor de electricidad.
OPERACION
Para evitar vibraciones, el compartimiento interior debe estar bien nivelado. La temperatura variará
dependiendo de la cantidad de botellas almacenadas y la frecuencia con que se abre la puerta.
Cuando el electrodoméstico no se use por un período largo, desconecte el enchufe y deje la puerta
entreabierta.
Nota: Espere entre 3 a 5 minutos antes de volver a encender si el funcionamiento ha sido
interrumpido.
