children under 8 years of age.
● When using electrical equipment, safety precautions
must always be taken to prevent the risk of fire, electric
shock and/or injury in the event of misuse.

this is not the case, contact the dealer and do not connect
the unit.
● The device must not be used if it has been dropped, it
obvious signs of damage are visible or if it has leaks.
● Please keep this document at hand and give it to the

supervised or instructed in the safe use of the appliance
and that they fully understand the potential hazards.
● Children shall not play with the appliance.
● Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made
by children without supervision.
● To avoid contamination of food, please respect the
following instructions:
- Opening the door for long periods can cause a
significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
- Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with
food and accessible drainage systems.
● If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods,
switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to
prevent mould developing within the appliance.

● Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans
with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
● If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
● The shelves is placed in factory mode that result in the
most efficient use of energy for the refrigerating
appliances.
● If food is stored for a long time, it is recommended to
wrap it in plastic wrap and set the temperature lower.
By purchasing this appliance, you own a device that
combines unique advantages:
⬥ The thermoelectric cooling system is extremely discreet,
unlike
conventional appliances with much noisier compressors.
⬥ Less vibration: to preserve the quality of the wines.
⬥ Small size, taking up less space.
CAUTION: Because the refrigerant gases are combustible,
professional service people will be required to dispose of the
electric cooler once it is out of use.
WARNING: Do not use this product in a place where children
can touch it and do not leave children to use it alone.
Disposal of waste
To avoid any harm to the environment or human health
caused by the uncontrolled disposal of electrical waste,
recycle the device responsibly to promote the reuse of
material resources. Disposal must be done safely at public
collection points provided for this purpose.
Older refrigerators may contain CFCs that destroy the ozone
layer; contact your nearest waste treatment center for more
details on proper disposal procedures.

This appliance contains the coolant isobutene(R600a),a
natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is
flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not
increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has,
however, led to a slight increase in the noise level of the
appliance. You might be able to hear the coolant flowing
around the system.
This is unavoidable, and does not have any adverse effect on
the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during
the transportation and setting up the appliance that no parts
of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can
damage the eyes.
A wine cellar is the most practical space for storing wines. Its role is to balance the temperature and
humidity inside so that your wine does not lose its taste and its aromas.
Due to these heavy operations, noises can be heard. Most of the time, this is normal noise.
Before calling technical service for assistance, please read these few lines.
These sounds are completely normal: buzzing, roaring, clicking, cracking ...
When the cellar has just stopped working, you may hear a buzzing, roaring, clicking or squealing
noise. When the operation stabilizes, the sounds subside.
For direct cooling, some kind of irregular cracking, hissing, bubbling, crackling can often be heard
when the compressor is running for a while or has just stopped. This sound is caused by the relief of
stress due to expansion and contraction when temperature changes, and will not be affected by
normal application of the product.
The compressor consists of an electric motor and a compression device. Due to the heat produced
during the compression of the refrigerant, it is possible especially in summer when the ambient
temperature is higher that heat is emitted by the cellar. All of these phenomena are normal.
To reduce some noises:
First, make sure your cellar is on a level surface.
Location is important, do not lean the cellar against the wall.
The bottles must be correctly loaded to avoid parasitic vibrations.
The noise may come from the circulation fan, check that nothing is interfering with its operation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before putting your appliance into service
● Remove all inner and outer packaging components.
● This appliance is designed to be free standing.
● Before connecting your device to a power supply, allow it to stand upright for about 2 hours.
This reduces the risk of malfunction of the refrigeration system due to handling during transport.
● Clean the inner surfaces of the unit with a soft cloth and warm water.
● Leave 10cm of free space between the back and sides of the unit to allow for ventilation of the
cooling system. Failure to do so will result in poor cooling performance, dust build up on the
components and dramatically shorten the life of the product. It may also void the warranty.
Below are the guidelines for creating proper ventilation
Ventilation basics: While the unit is cooling(removing the heat)from its interior, the removed
heat is being dissipated through the condenser coil at the rear of appliance. This heat must be
removed with proper air circulation and exhausted to the outside of the cabinet enclosure. If
this is not done, excessive heat will build up inside the cabinet enclosure and prevent the unit
from maintaining proper cooling, increase power consumption and overheat the electrical
components.
● Place your unit on a floor strong enough to support the weight of the fully filled unit.
● Make sure the unit is level by adjusting the front feet underneath the unit. Make sure that the
appliance rests on its feet in a stable manner.
● Install the appliance away from direct sunlight and heat sources (radiator, hot plate, etc.). Direct
sunlight can damage the unit's coating and heat can increase its power consumption. If the
ambient temperature is extremely cold or hot, this may prevent the unit from operating properly.
● The unit is not designed to be installed in a basement or cellar.
● This unit is designed exclusively for indoor use.
Caution: Make sure that the unit is kept away from any substance that may cause combustion.
● Check that the water tank is in place before connecting the unit.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your appliance
● Unplug your appliance and take out all the bottles.
● Clean the outside of the unit with hot water and a mild
detergent.
● Remove the water tank at the bottom of the unit, then
wash it.
Moving your appliance
● Remove all bottles and disconnect the appliance.
● Tape all loose parts inside your appliance.
● Turn the feet to adjust their height to the minimum to
avoid damage.
● Tighten the door to keep it closed.
● Be sure to keep the appliance upright during transport.
