4. PARTICULAR PRECAUTIONS
When selecting a location for your appliance you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the
room is well ventilated. This device is suitable for operation in rooms with a very specific ambient
temperature, this climatic class is indicated on the nameplate. The ambient temperature affects the
interior temperature and humidity of your cellar. For optimal operation, your cellar settings are made
for ambient temperatures of 20 ° C to 25 ° C. There is no heating in this wine cabinet so the
temperature inside the wine cabinet can not be higher than the ambient temperature.
The appliance's thermostat is electronic and allows you to set the temperature between 11 and 18
degrees. For storage, it is recommended that you set your appliance to 17 degrees. This temperature
can be adapted according to the type stored. Setting the temperature above 17 degrees will reduce
the energy consumption of the appliance. Setting the temperature below 17 degrees will increase the
energy consumption of the appliance.
.
19

When the surrounding temperature is 25℃and the electric cooler has no bottle loaded, it will
take around 30 minutes to increase the electric cooler’s temperature from 11℃to 18℃.
Under the same circumstance, it will take around one hour to decrease the electric cooler’s
temperature from 18℃to 11℃.
The appliance assures that temperature is maintained as long as it is in operation and that it is used in
normal conditions of use.
The temperature inside the appliance and its energy consumption can be influenced by many factors:
ambient temperature, exposure to the sun, number of door openings and quantity stored… Slight
changes in temperature are perfectly normal.
5. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your thermoelectric cooler
Before cleaning your appliance (something that should be done regularly), disconnect it by removing
the plug or by pulling the fuse on the circuit.
Before using your appliance for the first time and regularly after that, we recommend that you clean
the inside and outside (front, sides and top) with warm water mixed with a gentle cleaning product.
Rinse with clean water and allow to dry before reconnecting. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
In the event of a pronounced plastic smell, clean the appliance with a mixture of two tablespoons of
bicarbonate of soda, mixed in a ¼ litre of lukewarm water.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there may be a residual odour. In that case, run
the appliance empty for a few hours at the coldest possible temperature. The cold will kill any odours.
Moving your thermoelectric cooler
 Remove all the bottles.
 Securely tape down all loose items inside your thermoelectric cooler.
 Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.
 Tape the door.
 Be sure the thermoelectric cooler stays in the upright position during transportation.
In case of power failure
Most power outages are resolved for a short period of time. A 1 or 2 hours shutdown will not affect the
temperatures of your device. To protect your drinks during power outages, consider minimizing the
number of door openings. For very long power cuts, take the necessary measures to protect your
drinks.
In the event of a breakdown
Despite the care we take during production, a breakdown can never be totally ruled out. Before
contacting your retailer’s after-sales department, please check that:
 The appliance is properly plugged in
 There is not a power cut in progress
 The breakdown is not one of those described in the table at the end of this manual
IMPORTANT: if the power cable supplied is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a
service center approved by the brand or the retailer. In all events, it must be replaced by qualified
personnel in order to avoid any risk of injury.
If these checks reveal nothing, then contact your retailer’s After-Sales Department.
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance or repair work.
