IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS5

EN Installing Your Wine Cellar

Unpacking Your Wine Cellar 1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the wine cellar accessories inside and outside. 2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before powering on the wine cellar. Leveling Your Wine Cellar • Your wine cellar has four leveling legs which are located in the front and rear corners of your wine cellar. After properly placing your wine cellar in its nal position, you can level your wine cellar. • Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your wine cellar or by turning them counterclockwise to lower your wine cellar. The wine cellar door will close easier when the leveling legs are extended. Proper Air Circulation • To assure your wine cellar works at the maximum efciency it was designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections. • The following are recommended clearances around the wine cellar: Sides 4" (100mm) Top 4" (100mm) Back 4" (100mm) • Do not over ll your wine cellar for proper wine cooling. Note: If your wine cellar has been tilted for any reason, wait 24 hours before plugging it in. More than 10 cm from the top More than 10 cm

from the right High Low Adjustable foot screw More than

from the rear More than 10 cm from the left6

Electrical Requirement

• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (220-240V, 15 amps outlet) with proper grounding

to power the wine cellar.

• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order to

accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective

grounding for the wine cellar and may result in shock hazard.

• Do not install your wine cellar in any location not properly insulated or heated e.g. garage etc.

Your wine cellar was not laid to operate if the ambient temperature is below 10°C.

• Select a suitable location for the wine cellar on a hard even surface away from direct

sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any oor

unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front and rear bottom

corners of the wine cellar.

• Your wine cellar is designed for free-standing installation only. It is not designed for built-in

Use of Extension Cord

• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that

has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating

of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

Once you have plugged the unit into an electrical outlet, let the unit run for at least 30 minutes

to acclimatize itself before making any adjustments. During this time, depending on the internal

temperature, the red or white wine light will stay on for the upper compartment and red or white wine

light will stay on for the lower compartment. The LED display will show the current internal temperature.7

EN Introduction to Primary Functions of the Appliance

display screen will turn on. After the operation is stopped for 30 seconds, the display screen will be

locked. If the screen is locked, the power key icons are half-on.

Low-Temperature Compensation

This wine cellar has a low-temperature compensation function so as to ensure the stability of the storage

temperature of the wine.

If the ambient temperature is lower than the set temperature, the temperature inside the cellar will fall

accordingly. If the temperature inside the cellar is lower than the shutdown temperature by 2°C(4°F), the cellar

will automatically enable the low-temperature compensation function in order to heat the cellar. If the

temperature inside reaches the set temperature, the low-temperature compensation function will be disabled.

Temperature Power-Off Memory

In case of a power outage, the cellar will automatically save the set temperature. After power recovery,

it will run based on the temperature set before the power outage while other functions will return to the

• To complement the look of your wine collection, a soft light has been built into the wine cellar. Simply

push the "Light" button and the light comes on, push again for off. For maximum energy efciency,

leave light off when not viewing your collection.

• When door is open the light will go on. Upon closing the door, the light will go off.9

EN Do not place too much wine in the cellar so as not to exceed the bearing capacity of the wine shelves. Do not place more than three layers of wine on each shelf. The number of wine bottles should not exceed three layers on each shelf, or the bearing capacity of the wine shelves should not exceed 35kg.Before placing the bottles inside the wine cellar, conrm whether or not the wine shelves are completely stable.In addition, conrm whether or not any bottle protrudes from the shelves in order to prevent bottles hitting the glass door upon closing. Precautions for Use of Wine Cellar

Automatic Defrosting This appliance has an automatic defrosting function.When using the appliance for the rst time, please place a through-hole pin at the drainage hole. During use, ensure that the drainage hole is unblocked so as to force defrosting water to ow smoothly through the drainage hole into the water receiver inside the cellar cabin. If blocked, take the through-hole pin inside drainage hole out, clear away blockages inside and then put the pin back.Regularly clean water receivers at the bottom of the upper and lower compartments; use a dry cloth to absorb water inside the water receivers and wipe down them (clean them every three months as suggested). Air exchange with activated carbon lter The way in which wines continue to mature depends on the ambient conditions. The quality of the air is therefore decisive for preserving the wine. An activated carbon lter has been tted in the lower area of the rear wall of the appliance to ensure that the air through put remains at an optimum quality. CAUTIONWe recommend that you replace the lter once a year. Filters can be obtained from your dealer. Changing the lter: Take the lter by the handle. Turn it to the left and remove. Inserting the lter: Insert with the handle in a vertical position. Turn it to the right and insert. Through-hole pinDrainage hole10

• The shelves are designed for appearance and easy cleaning. Larger bottles or Magnums can

be more easily accommodated at the cross shelves at the bottom of the cellar.

• There are some shelves for easy storage and removal of your wine.

Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear

• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of the refrigerant

circulating through the cooling coils.

According to international standards, if the climate is an SN~ST type, the ambient temperature for use of the wine cellar ranges between 10°C and 38°C. 2. "Noise (acoustic power level)" marked in the technical data refers to a situation in which the semi-anechoic , a resilient rubber cushion as thick as 5 mm to 6 mm is placed inside. It can run for at least 30 minutes after the door is closed. A test will be conducted after stable running (excluding startup and shutdown). Ground noise will be

tested at 1 m from the front, rear, left and right surfaces of the wine cellar respectively.

During use, it is normal that the actual noise is different from the marked noise due to the effects of the

type of wine stored in the wine cellar, ambient noise, door opening and closing, compressor startup and shutdown, etc. 3. The standard implementation sequence of the enterprise for this appliance series is: Q/0212BGC 007-2012
