INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
¾Before using your wine cabinet
•Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•Before connecting the Wine cabinet to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately
12 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling
during transportation.
•Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
•When disposing your appliance, please choose an authorised disposal site.
¾Installation of your wine cabinet
•Place your Wine cabinet on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
To level your Wine cabinet, adjust the front leveling leg at the bottom of the Wine cabinet.
•Locate the Wine cabinet away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator,
etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform
properly.
•Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
•Plug the Wine cabinet into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under
any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an
authorised Products service centre.
¾Attention
•Store wine in sealed bottles;
•Do not overload the cabinet;
•Do not open the door unless necessary;
•Do not cover shelves with aluminum foil or any other shelf material which may prevent air
circulation;
•Should the Wine cabinet be stored without use for long periods it is suggested, after a careful
cleaning, to leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate inside the cabinet in order to avoid
possible formations of condensation, mold or odours.

DEFROSTING/CONDENSATION
Your wine cellar is designed with an “Auto-cycle” defrost system. When the RUN cycle is OFF, the refrigerated
surface of the wine cellar (interior rear wall) defrosts automatically. The defrost water is channeled into a drain
pan which is located at the back of the wine cellar next to the compressor from where it evaporates.
HUMIDITY MAINTENANCE SYSTEM
The wine cellar is equipped with a system for maintaining the correct level of humidity. If humidity is too low,
insert the small plastic reservoir on to the top shelf. Fill this reservoir 3/4 full with water. Check the water level
occasionally and refill as necessary.
