• Before connecting the wine cooler to power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2
hours. This will reduce risk of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
• Clean interior surface with lukewarm water by using a soft cloth.
• When replacing the illuminating lamp, please select the lamp which comply with rated
power input of lamp according to the rating label. Shut off the power supply before replacing
the lamp.
• When disposing your appliance, please choose an authorized disposal site.
Installation of your wine cooler
• Place your wine cooler on a floor/surface that is strong enough to support it when it is fully
loaded. To level your wine cooler, adjust the levelling leg at the bottom of wine cooler.
• Locate the wine cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater,
radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase
energy consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to
perform properly.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
• Plug the wine cooler into an exclusive, properly installed wall outlet. Any questions
concerning power should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized products
service center.
Attention
Store wine in sealed bottles. Do not overload the cabinet. Do not open door unless
necessary. Do not cover shelves with aluminium foil or any other shelf material which may
prevent air circulation. Should the wine cooler be stored unused for a longer period of time, 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 formation of condensation, mold or odours. The carbon
filter should be cleaned and dried at least once a year.
