Before using your wine cooler
Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
• Before connecting the wine cooler to power source, let it stand upright for approximately 6
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.

BUILT-IN DIAGRAM
Please follow this diagram if you want to insert the wine cooler into any solid structure.
It is important that the ventilation grille at the bottom front of the wine cooler is never covered.
If a plinth is to be mounted in front of the cabinet, make sure to drill holes or install a
ventilation grille to ensure proper ventilation. Ensure a minimum of 2 cm. of free air from the
top of the wine cabinet to the underside of any item on top.
It is very important that the wine cooler can get away the heat, it produces. It is therefore
recommended to ensure additional space behind the cabinet than the approx. 2 cm from the
mounted grille on the backside of the cabinet. It is advised to allow min. 5 - 7 cm. of free
space between wine cabinet and back wall.
Keep in mind that the door must be able to open and close after installation. Make a space
of at least 1 cm. in the side for the opening door.
