Safety
For children
Avoid accidents. After unpacking the wine cooler, keep packaging materials out of
reach, especially from children. Do not allow children to handle the wine cooler,
even when it is disconnected.
Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after
the wine cooler is unpacked. Children should never use these items to play.
Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may
become airtight chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation.
Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and destroy
finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
For the user / installer
Disconnect the wine cooler before cleaning or doing maintenance.
Do not leave the wine cooler unused for long periods of time. If this becomes
necessary, clean it, open the doors, and leave them open. We recommend that
the wine cooler be turned on several times during the period it is not in normal
use. Do not install the wine cooler outside.
The following items should not be place on top of the wine cooler: heavy and
unstable objects, and heat-producing devices like regulators.
Wait at least 5 minutes after unplugging the wine cooler before plugging it in again
to protect the compressor from excessive pressure.
Never unplug the wine cooler by pulling on the power cord. Use the plug.
Do not compress, fold or tie up the power cord. Do not change your wine cooler's
plug. If the cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced by a service technician
indicated by the manufacturer or distributor.
Do not store medication, toxic or chemical products in the wine cooler, as they
may contaminate the food.
Flammable aerosols and combustible products (gas for lighters, banana oil,
alcohol, gasoline, propane, etc.) or products that bear a small flame symbol should
not be stored in wine coolers or freezers, nor come close to the wine cooler, as
they may cause explosions.
Never lean on the wine cooler door, as this may cause the hinges to become
misaligned, allowing the cold air to escape and the wine cooler to operate poorly.
Do not sprinkle water on top or along the sides of the wine cooler, as this can
cause a malfunction or electric discharge and may cause the metallic parts of the
wine cooler to rust. To avoid the risk of fire, never place lit candles on top of the
17
wine cooler. In the event of a gas leak, do not unplug or touch the wine cooler
until the gas valve has been closed, and the room has been aired out. If you use
the thermostat immediately afterward, it may give off sparks that could start a
fire.
The wine cooler should be plug in its own outlet. The power cord has a three-
pronged grounded plug for your personal safety. It must be connected to a
grounding type wall receptacle, in accordance with the legislation governing
electric installations in your country, as well as any local regulations. Do not
remove the grounding prong, do not use a two pronged adaptor, and never
make a conection to the schematic. Use the cord supplied with the equipment
(do not change it). If the cord is damaged, it must be immediately replaced by
specialized personnel.
Read all instructions before using the wine or beverage cooler.

hazard or explosion.
