1. Safety instructions and warnings
Please read these instructions fully before installing or operating the product.
THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS APPLIANCE CANNOTBE HELD LIABLE
FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THESE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS.
• Secure the accessories during transportation to prevent damage.
• The appliance is designed for use within a certain temperature range
(ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range.
The temperature range for your appliance is specified on the data plate inside the
appliance.
This appliance contains the coolant lsobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is
environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer
and does not increase the green house eect. The use of this coolant has, however, led
to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the
compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is
unavoidable, but does not have any adverse eect on the performance of the appliance.
Care must be taken during the transportation and installation of the appliance that no
parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
• Avoid open flames and anything which creates a spark.
• Disconnect from the mains.
• Air the room in which the appliance is located for at least an hour.
• Contact the manufacturer for further advice.
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or to the inside unit,
clear of obstruction.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the storage compartments of the
appliance unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Due to the instability of the appliance, it must be fixed in accordance with
the instructions to avoid a hazard.
lf 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.
This appliance is intended to be used in household and domestic
applications only.
This product is not suitable for food storage and must not be used to store
food inside.

in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the
appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without
supervision. Children aged from 3 to 8 years are allowed to load and unload
refrigerating appliances.
Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the connection data on the data
plate (voltage and frequency), matches the mains electricity supply. This data must
correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.
Ensure the accessories are secured during transportation to prevent damage.
Do not splash water on the appliance. It may cause electrical parts to fail and result in
an electric shock.
Do not sit, stand or place any other heavy objects on top of the appliance. This could
result in injury or damage to the appliance.
To prevent possible harm to the environment or human health from uncontrolled waste
disposal, recycle it responsibly to promote the sustainable reuse of material resources
(further detail on page 16 of this instruction manual).

To avoid the risk of fire, please take the following precautions:
• While positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.
• Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable power supplies at the rear
of the appliance.
To avoid contamination of drinks, pay attention to the following:
• Opening the door for long periods of time can cause a significant
increase in the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• Only store wine in sealed containers.
• Do not overload the cabinet.
• Only open the door when necessary.
• This is a self-defrosting appliance. The compressor will not run during
the twenty minutes defrost cycle.
• Do not pull the shelves beyond the anti-stop position when fully loaded.
• This appliance is intended to be used exclusively for the storage of wine.
• In the event of a power failure, leave the door closed as much as possible to maintain
the internal working temperature. If the power failure continue for a prolonged period,
you should take steps to protect the contents of the wine cooler against a rise in
temperature. The wine cooler will remember the selected temperature setting and
revert to these setting once the power is restored.
Risk of fire/flammable materials
WARNING:
Before using your appliance
• Before switching on your appliance for the first time, ensure it is positioned in
