HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

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.
