,WARNING:
Do not install this appliance:
■outdoors,
■in an environment with dripping water,
■in rooms where there is a risk of frost.
Transporting
The appliances are heavy and must be secured during
transportation and installation.
Because of the weight/dimensions of the appliance
and to minimise the risk of injuries and damage
to the appliance at least two persons are necessary
to set-up the appliance securely.
Installation location
A dry, well ventilated room is suitable as an installation
location. The installation location should not be
exposed to direct sunlight and not placed near a heat
source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc. If installation next
to a heat source is unavoidable, use a suitable
insulating plate or observe the following minimum
distances from the heat source:
■To electric or gas cookers 11/4”(3cm).

Placing bottles in the
refrigerator
Storage example
Practical tips for storing wine
■Unpack bottles of wine – do not leave in crates
or cardboard boxes – before storing
in the refrigerator compartment.
■Place old bottles so that the cork is always wet.
There should never be an air gap between the wine
and the cork.
■The open bottle shelves are especially suitable
because they do not interrupt the air circulation. As
a result, the atmospheric humidity which condenses
on the bottles quickly dries again.
■Before drinking your wine, let it stand until it reaches
room temperature: For example rosé takes about
two to five hours and red wine four to five hours
before they reach the right drinking temperature.
The wine will then be at the correct drinking
temperature. Sparkling wine and Champagne should
be cooled in the refrigerator shortly before drinking.
■Remember that wine should always be cooled
slightly lower than the ideal serving temperature, as
its temperature increases as soon as it is poured
into a glass!
Drinking temperatures
The correct serving temperature is crucial for the taste
and therefore your enjoyment of the wine.
We recommend serving wine at the following drinking
temperatures:

Antes de emplear el aparato nuevo
¡Lea detenidamente las instrucciones de uso y de
montaje de su aparato! En éstas se facilitan
informaciones y consejos importantes relativos a su
seguridad personal, así como a la instalación, el
manejo y el cuidado correctos del mismo.
El fabricante no se responsabiliza en absoluto de
eventuales daños y perjuicios que pudieran producirse
en caso de incumplimiento por parte del usuario de los
consejos y advertencias de seguridad que se facilitan
en las presentes instrucciones. Guarde las
instrucciones de uso y de montaje para ulteriores
consultas o para un posible propietario posterior.
Seguridad técnica
En caso de resultar dañado el cable de conexión del
aparato y tener que sustituirlo, estos trabajos sólo
podrán ser ejecutados por electricistas, técnicos del
Servicio de Asistencia Técnica Oficial de la marca o
personas con una cualificación profesional similar. La
instalación o reparación efectuadas de modo erróneo
o incorrecto pueden implicar serios peligros para el
usuario.
Las reparaciones que fuera necesario efectuar sólo
podrán ser ejecutadas por electricistas, técnicos del
Servicio de Asistencia Técnica Oficial de la marca
o personas con una cualificación profesional similar.
Sólo podrán utilizarse piezas originales del fabricante.
Sólo en el caso de utilizar piezas originales del
fabricante, éste garantiza que cumplan las exigencias
de seguridad planteadas.
Una prolongación del cable de conexión sólo se puede
adquirir a través del Servicio de Asistencia Técnica
Oficial.
El equipo se entrega con un cable de 3 conductores
registrado según UL para su conexión a la red.
No se deberá cortar ni eliminar bajo ninguna condición
el tercer conductor (de puesta a tierra).
El equipo requiere de un tomacorrientes de 3 polos. El
tomacorrientes deberá ser instalado por personal
especializado en electricidad.
Donde se encuentre un tomacorrientes de pared de
2 polos estándar, es responsabilidad personal
y obligación del cliente, cambiar el mismo por un
tomacorriente de 3 polos con toma de tierra de
acuerdo a las prescripciones, reemplazando el que se
encuentra instalado. No utilizar enchufes adaptadores.
Al usar el aparato
■No usar aparatos eléctricos en el interior
de la unidad (por ejemplo calefacciones, heladoras,
etc.). ¡Existe peligro de explosión!
■¡No utilizar ningún tipo de limpiadora de vapor para
desescarchar o limpiar la unidad! El vapor caliente
podría penetrar en interior del aparato, accediendo
a los elementos conductores de corriente y provocar
cortocircuitos. ¡Peligro de descarga eléctrica!
■¡No rascar el hielo o la escarcha con ayuda
de objetos metálicos puntiagudos o cortantes! Los
conductos del agente refrigerante
del compartimento de congelación podrían resultar
dañados. Téngase presente que la salida a chorro
del agente refrigerante puede inflamarse o provocar
lesiones en los ojos.
■No guardar productos combinados con agentes
o gases propelentes (por ejemplo sprays) ni
materias explosivas en el aparato. ¡Existe peligro
de explosión!
■No utilizar el zócalo, los cajones o las puertas
de la unidad como pisaderas o reposapiés.
■Antes de desescarchar o limpiar el aparato, extraer
el enchufe de conexión de la toma de corriente
de la red o desconectar el fusible. ¡No tirar del cable
de conexión del aparato, sino asirlo siempre por
el cuerpo del enchufe!
■Tenga presente que las bebidas con un alto grado
de alcohol necesitan envases con cierre hermético,
debiéndose colocar siempre en posición vertical.
■No permitir que las grasas y aceites entren
en contacto con los elementos de plástico
del interior del aparato o la junta de la puerta. El
plástico y la junta de goma son materiales muy
susceptibles a la porosidad.
■No obstruir ni cubrir nunca las rejillas de ventilación
y aireación del aparato.
■Las personas con facultades físicas, sensoriales
o mentales mermadas o que carezcan de los
conocimientos necesarios, sólo podrán manipular
el aparato bajo vigilancia con una instrucción
minuciosa y detallada por otras personas.
