Section 1. Installation
This appliance is intended to be used exclusively for the storage of wine.
This appliance is designed for domestic use only and should be operated in
ambient temperatures (surrounding air temperature) between 16°C and 32°C
(61-90°F). If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, the
appliance will not operate correctly.
1.1. Before Use
Remove all securing tapes. Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm
water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not
use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
1.2. Installing the Door Handle
Carefully ease the door seal to one side
Attach the door handle using the two screws
Ease the door seal back into place
1.3. Installation & Ventilation Requirements
To ensure correct operation this appliance must not be located where the
temperatures may fall below 16°C or rise above 32°C.
Avoid the following locations: unheated kitchen, outhouse, conservatory,
garage.
For correct operation this appliance must be installed:
-In a dry atmosphere
-Out of direct sunlight.
-Away from extreme temperature (not next to a cooker or other sources of
heat)
Ensure the following points are observed during installation:
-The appliance must be placed on a strong floor
-The appliance must be level. Adjust the level by screwing the adjustable
foot up or down (use your fingers or a suitable spanner)
-The appliance must be upright and in firm contact with the floor so that
the cabinet is stable.

1.4. Shelves
The shelves can be pulled out by approximately 1/3 in order to facilitate
access to your wine.
Depending on the model supplied, your wine cooler will be fitted with
non-telescopic or telescopic shelves (see image below).
Always ensure that the door is fully open before pulling out the shelves.
Failure to do this may damage the door seal which may not be covered
under the guarantee.
Do not place any form of material across the shelves as this will prevent
air-circulation inside the unit and prevent your wine cooler from operating
correctly.
