For your personal safety, this wine cellar must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a 7’ (2.1 m) power supply cord
having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong
grounding type wall receptacle grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. f
the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the customer to exchange the
existing receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances. The third
ground plug SHOULD NOT, under any circumstances, be cut or removed. All UL listed refrigerated products are equipped
with this type of plug.

FINAL PREPARATION
1. Some stainless steel parts may have a plastic protective wrap which must be peeled off. The interior of the wine cellar
should be washed thoroughly with hot, soapy water, rinsed and wiped dry to remove film residue and any installation dust
or debris before being used. Solutions stronger than soap and water are rarely needed.
2. All stainless steel parts should be wiped with hot soapy water. f buildup occurs, do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths,
cleaners, or powders. f it is necessary to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak with hot, wet cloths to
loosen the material, then use a wood or nylon scraper. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape
stainless steel; scratches are almost impossible to remove.
WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow these instructions could result in fire or electrical shock.
