overload the electrical circuit.
• Power cord: Do not kink or damage the power cord; do not leave it exposed or dangling.
Secure it at the back of the appliance so no one steps on or places anything on the cord or
against it. Keep the cord out of reach of children. When moving the appliance, make sure not
to damage the power cord.
• Auxiliary Items: Do not use an inverter, adaptor or extension cord with this wine cellar. If the
cord is too short, have a qualied electrician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an
extension cord and an inverter can negatively aect the performance of the unit.
• Protect from moisture: To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the
unit, cord or plug in water or spray it with any other liquid. Do not connect or disconnect the

responsible for their safety.
• Children: Supervise young children to ensure they do not play with the appliance. Never
allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the wine cellar.
• WARNING: Do not use electrical appliances inside the wine cellar, unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer.
• Explosive or ammable substances: Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol
cans with a ammable propellant in this wine cellar. Do not store or use petrol or any other
ammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Do not use such
substances for cleaning the wine cellar. The fumes can create a re hazard or an explosion.
• Damage: Do not use the wine cellar if the power cord, plug or the wine cellar itself is
damaged. If the cord is damaged, contact the after sales support line and have the cord
replaced by qualied personnel in order to avoid a hazard.

This symbol alerts you to take care as this wine cellar contains
a ammable refrigerant (isobutane) and insulation blowing gas
(cyclopentane). Do not expose it to high heat, sparks and open ames.
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant
circuit of the appliance, a gas with a high level of environmental
compatibility, which is nevertheless ammable. During transportation and
installation of the wine cellar, ensure that none of the components of the
refrigerant circuit become damaged.
Never use a wine cellar with a damaged refrigerant circuit! If the coolant circuit becomes
damaged, avoid proximity to open res and all types of heat sources. The room in which the
wine cellar is located should be ventilated for a few minutes.
It is hazardous for anyone other than an authorised service person to service this wine cellar.
In Queensland, the authorised service person MUST hold a Gas Work Authorisation for
hydrocarbon refrigerants to carry out servicing or repairs which involve the removal of covers.
The room for installing the appliance must be at least 1m³ per 8g of refrigerant. The amount and
type of refrigerant in the appliance can be found in the technical specications on page 17 and on
the appliance rating plate.

UNPACKING
• Packaging materials: This wine cellar has been packaged to protect it against transportation
damage. Remove all packaging materials from around and inside the wine cellar and keep
the original packaging carton and materials in a safe place. It will help prevent any damage if
the product needs to be transported in the future, and you can use it to store the wine cellar
when it is not in use. In the event the carton is to be disposed of, please recycle all packaging
materials where possible.
• Suocation: Plastic wrapping can be a suocation hazard for babies and young children, so
ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach and disposed of safely.
• Power cord: Unwind the power cord to its full length and inspect it for damage. Do not use
the wine cellar if it or its cord have been damaged or are not working properly. In case of
damage, contact our after sales support line for advice on examination, repair or return of the
damaged product.
• Read the manual: Read this manual to familiarise yourself with the wine cellar. Pay particular
attention to the safety instructions on the previous pages.
• Clean: To remove any dust from transit and storage, clean the interior and exterior surfaces
of the wine cellar with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Dry thoroughly.
• Two person installation: Use two or more suitably qualied people to move and install the
wine cellar. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
• Freestanding design: This wine cellar is designed to be freestanding only, and should not be
recessed or built-in.
• Floor surface: This wine cellar must be properly positioned on a dry, sturdy, level surface that
is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
Do NOT install/use the wine cellar in the following locations/situations:
• In a garage or any other outside installation.
• In moist areas or areas of high humidity.
• In a recreational vehicle, or for use with an inverter.
• In direct sunlight, near heat sources, next to an open ame, cooking or heating appliance, or
near any other source of high heat.
• Direct sunlight may aect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase the unit’s power
consumption. For best energy eciency install the wine cellar in the coolest area of the room.
• In an area with extreme cold ambient temperatures.
• In an area with excessive moisture and high humidity. Make sure it is protected from elements
such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
• In an area where petrol or other explosive and/or ammable liquids or fumes are used or
stored. The fumes can create a re hazard or explosion.
• Levelling: It is important for the wine cellar to be level in order to work properly. To level the
unit, adjust the levelling legs at the bottom of the wine cellar.
• Ventilation: To allow for proper air ventilation, leave a minimum 5cm of space between the
back, sides and top of the wine cellar and make sure that the front of the unit is completely
unobstructed. Ensure that the ventilation openings are never blocked or covered. Never cover
shelves with aluminium foil or any other material, which may prevent air circulation.
• Door swing: The door on this appliance can be opened from either the left or the right side.
Should you wish to change the door swing direction, follow the instructions on pages 16–17.

• Suggested ambient temperatures: Choose a well ventilated area for the wine cellar with
temperatures above 16°C and below 32°C. Ambient temperatures above or below this range
may aect the performance of the unit.
• Settling: Before connecting the wine cellar to the power source, let it stand upright for
approximately 4 hours. This will allow any refrigerant gasses that may have been disturbed
during the transportation process to settle and reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the
cooling system from handling during transport.
• Electrical connection: Plug the wine cellar into a dedicated, properly installed wall outlet. Do
not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (earth) prong from the power cord. Any
questions concerning power and/or earthing should be directed toward a licensed electrician
or our after sales support centre.
• After plugging the wine cellar in, turn the unit on and allow it to cool down for 3–4 hours
before placing wine bottles or beverages in the appliance.
FIRST USE
• Powering on: Press and hold the POWER button for three seconds to turn the appliance on.
• First cooling down: When you rst switch on the wine cellar, the compressor will run
continuously until the wine cellar reaches the set temperature. During this period of time, try
not to open the door frequently or place bottles inside the appliance. After about 3–4 hours,
you can start loading the wine cellar.
• Odour: You may notice an odour when you rst switch on the wine cellar. This is due to the
parts being new and is no cause for concern. The odour will subside as the wine cellar starts
to cool.
IMPORTANT
• When you use the wine cellar for the rst time or restart it after it has been turned o for a
long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the
one indicated on the LED display. This is normal and it is due to the length of activation time.
Once the wine cellar has been running for a few hours, everything will return back to normal.
• When loading several bottles of wine at once, it will take longer for the appliance to cool the
individual bottles than when adding a bottle at a time.
• If the unit is switched o or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting
the wine cellar or reconnecting it to your mains supply.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
This wine cellar enables you to store your wine in a stable temperature environment and free
from light exposure and vibrations. These are most important factors when it comes to storing
wine. A stable, temperature-appropriate environment will help maintain the quality of your wine
and prevent spoilage.
• Selecting the right temperature: You can store your wine at the most appropriate serving
temperature (see the table below). Set the temperature according to the type of wine that is
mostly stored in the wine cellar.

LOADING THE WINE CELLAR
Standard bottle capacity: Your wine cellar holds a maximum of 46 standard (traditional
750mL bottles). Do not overload the cabinet, and only store wine in sealed bottles.
Larger bottles: Storing wine in larger or dierent shaped bottles may aect its storage
capacity. If storing larger bottles, make sure that they do not prevent the door from
shutting properly. Before shutting the door, always check that you can close it without
bottles falling down inside the cabinet.
Shelving conguration: The shelves in the wine cellar may be removed to suit various
wine bottle shapes and sizes. The loading diagram (Fig. 1) shows how to t the maximum
amount of standard size and shape bottles. (See page 14 for instructions on how to remove
a shelf)
Operation (cont...)
Access: To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure the door is fully open when pulling
shelves out
of the rail compartment. For easy access to the bottles stored, pull the shelves out
approximately one third. The shelves are designed with an emergency stop to prevent them
being removed too far when loaded.
For ecient operation: Do not open the door unnecessarily. Only keep it open for as long as
necessary when removing or adding a bottle.
