“built-in” fridges and beverage centers have a power switch located on the control panel so power point
location is not critical.
The unit requires a standard 120 volt power point.
The power cord is 1 m in length and is fixed on the right side at the back when looking from front of fridge.
As with most appliances of today, the fridge has sensitive electronic components which are susceptible to
damage through lightning and electricity supply faults. It is therefore advised to use a power surge protector to
avoid problems of this nature.
Air vent on door must be provided for any built-in wine unit when a wood door is installed in front of the unit.
Electrical Connection
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it
replaced by an authorized service center.
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied. For personal
safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong. Have the wall
outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-
prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-
prong wall outlet. The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that
matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevent overloading house
wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord.
Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length
or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
Extension Cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an
extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a
UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the
electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.
OPERATING THE UNIT
Initial Use
Plug in and switch on the fridge by pressing on the power button for a few seconds.
When you use the fridge for the first time (or restart the fridge after having it shut off for a long time), there will be a
few degrees variance between the temperature you have selected and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is
normal and it is due to the length of the activation time. Once the fridge is running for a few hours everything will
stabilize.
IMPORTANT: If the unit is unplugged, power is lost, or turned off, wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. The
fridge will not start if you attempt to restart before this time delay.
Control Panel Lock
The unit is equipped with an automatic control panel lock function. This function will prevent any unwanted changes to
your temperature or power settings. The lock function will activate automatically 5 seconds after the last time a button
is pushed on the control panel.
To unlock the control panel lock, press and hold both the and buttons for 3 seconds the control panel will beep
and blink once indicating that the control panel is active and the settings can be changed. You must unlock the control
panel every time you want to set the temperature, change the display setting (°F/°C) turn on or off the light and to
power off the fridge.
