INSTALLATION
AVERTISSEMENT RISQUE D'EXPLOSION
Garder les matériaux et les vapeurs inflammables, tels que l'essence, à l’écart du Refroidisseur à vins / Refroidisseur à vins et

SAFETY INFORMATION

449-60734-2
CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ
AVERTISSEMENT RISQUE DE SUFFOCATION OU D'ENFERMEMENT D’UN ENFANT
Retirez la porte du refroidisseur à vins / refroidisseur à vins et à boissons avant de le mettre au rebut. Le non-respect de cette
recommandation peut entraîner l’enfermement d’un enfant qui peut entraîner la mort ou des lésions cérébrales.
IMPORTAN : Les enfants pris au piège ou morts
d’asphyxie sont toujours d’actualité. Les appareils jetés
ou abandonnés restent dangereux même si vous ne les
laissez au rebut que pour « quelques jours ». Si vous
voulez jeter votre ancien appareil, suivez les instructions
suivantes pour empêcher les accidents.
Avant de mettre votre ancien Refroidisseur à vins /
Refroidisseur à vins et à boissons au rebut
ŶRetirez la porte de l'appareil.
ŶLaissez les clayettes en place afin d’empêcher les enfants
de grimper à l’intérieur.
Fluides frigorigènes
Les appareils réfrigérants contiennent des fluides frigorigènes
qui conformément à la législation fédérale doivent être retirés
avant la mise au rebut de l'appareil. Si vous mettez au rebut
un ancien appareil contenant des fluides frigorigènes, vérifiez
la procédure à suivre auprès de la compagnie responsable de
l’élimination.
ÉLIMINATION APPROPRIÉE DE VOTRE ANCIEN APPAREIL
Ne coupez pas ou n’enlevez pas, sous aucun prétexte, la troisième broche de mise à la terre du cordon
d’alimentation. Pour des raisons de sécurité, cet appareil doit être correctement mis à la terre.
Le cordon d’alimentation de cet appareil est équipé d’une
fiche à trois broches (pour une mise à la terre) qui s’adapte à
la prise de courant standard à 3 broches (pour une mise à la
terre) pour minimiser les risques de chocs électriques par cet
appareil.
Faites vérifier la prise murale et le circuit électrique par
un électricien qualifié pour s’assurer que le système est
correctement mis à la terre.

responsabilité et l’obligation de la remplacer par une prise
triphasée correctement mise à la terre. N’utilisez pas
d’adaptateur.
Le Refroidisseur à vins / Refroidisseur à vins et à boissons
doit toujours être branché à sa propre prise électrique d’une
tension nominale correspondant à celle indiquée sur sa
plaque signalétique.
Une alimentation électrique à 115 volts CA, 60 Hz, avec
un fusible de 15 ou 20 ampères et une mise à la terre est
nécessaire. Ceci permet d’obtenir un meilleur rendement et
évite de surcharger les circuits électriques du domicile qui
risque d’occasionner un incendie en surchauffant.
Ne débranchez jamais l’appareil en tirant sur le cordon
d’alimentation. Prenez toujours fermement la fiche en main et
tirez pour la sortir de la prise.
Réparez ou remplacez immédiatement tout cordon électrique
usé ou endommagé. N’utilisez pas un cordon fissuré ou
présentant des dommages dus aux frottements soit sur sa
longueur ou aux extrémités.
Lorsque vous éloignez l’appareil du mur, faites attention à ne
pas le faire rouler sur le cordon d’alimentation afin de ne pas
l’endommager.
BRANCHEMENTS ÉLECTRIQUES
AVERTISSEMENT RISQUE DE CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE
Branchez l’appareil dans une prise triple avec terre.
Ne retirez pas la broche de terre.
N’utilisez pas d’adaptateur.
Le non-respect de ces règles peut entraîner des risques d’incendies, des chocs électriques ou la mort.
