GROUNDED PLUG
To reduce the risk of electric shock this appliance has a grounded plug (2 blades
and 1 pin). If the plug does not fit fully into the electrical outlet contact a qualified
electrician. DO NOT modify the plug in any way or use an adaptor.
INTRODUCTION
Your new Wine Cellar has no compressor and as such is environmentally
friendly, needing no special disposal precautions other than those listed in
the “Important Safeguards” section of this manual.
Cooling is done using thermoelectric circuits. This uses the ambient air around
the unit which is cooled when drawn in. The warm air is exhausted through
the vents. Thermoelectric wine cellars create less noise and vibration than
compressor units. The minimized vibration will prevent bubbles from forming
in stored wine, which helps to maintain its quality. These units offer a high
level of reliability, lower maintenance, more accurate temperature control
and an environmentally friendly operation since no CFC’s or HCFC type
refrigerants are used in the cooling process.

the Fahrenheit scale. To switch the Display between Fahrenheit and Celsius
scales, depress the and arrows simultaneously for approximately
5 seconds.
3. The temperature range in the upper zone is 4 - 22°C (39-72°F). The
