Never remove the rating plate or any warning signs from the device.

Place the device on an even and safe surface which supports the weight of the device and assures stability at full load. Do not place the device in direct sunlight or in the vicinity of heat sources (cooker, radiator, heating devices, etc.). Direct sunlight may cause changes in the acrylic surface and the heat sources have negative impact on energy consumption. The ambient temperatures below 16 °C and above 38 °C may lead to limited functionality of the device. The device is designed for indoor operation only. Never place the device in humid or wet environment. Do not place the device in hot environment or in the vicinity of flammable materials. The device requires sufficient air circulation for correct operation. Assure the minimum side distance of 10 cm of the device. Do not remove or block the holes of the device. The electric socket should be easily accessible so it it possible to quickly disconnect the supply cable when necessary.- 36 -

Installation and assembly of this device in the non-stationary location (e.g. ship) should be realized by the specialized companies/persons only, after assuring the fulfilment of conditions necessary for safe operation of the device. Due to energy savings make sure that the door of the device is closed during its operation. In case of moving the device to another location disconnect the power supply and remove the plug from the socket. Remove all content from the device. Due to safety reasons fix all loose elements inside. Fix the door with use of adhesive tape. The wine cooler should be transported in the vertical position only.

5.1.3 Fixing of handle

Before the first use fix the supplied stainless steel handle to the device door with use of screws. Move the rubber seal on the door internal side left or right to uncover the fixing holes. Fix the handle to the door using supplied set of screws. Then replace the seal in correct position.

5.1.4 Built-in device

The device can be built into a niche of the following dimensions: width 600 mm x height 830 mm x depth at least 610 mm. Leave a free space of at least 10 cm above the device. A cover is screwed in below the door, therefore the door is at the height of 80 mm above the ground.

Connect the power cord to the power outlet and push the device into the niche.- 37 -

The device is equipped with 3 large feet and 1 small adjustable foot. Adjust the foot in such way that the device stands straight and does not sway.

8 bottles may be stored on each wooden shelf. Place the bottles depending on the size and type of bottle. Each wooden shelf is removable to allow storing of bigger bottles, To remove the wooden shelf, first take out the bottles, next carefully lift the shelf and remove it (possibly loosening the screws first).

NOTE! Make sure that the wooden shelves are properly snapped before placing bottles on them. Pay attention to uniform distribution of load inside the device.- 38 -

5.2 Electric connection

DANGER! Electric shock hazard! The device can cause injuries due to improper installation! Before installation and connecting the local power grid specification should be compared with that of the device (see rating plate). Connect the device only in case of compliance! Wait 12 hours before connecting the device to the socket, connect it, and place the wine bottles inside. The power supply circuit with the socket must be protected by the fuse of at least 16A. The device should be connected directly to the wall socket. Due to fire hazard do not use any adapters or extension cords. The electric safety of the device may be assured only when it is connected to correctly realized electric system with the protective wire. It is forbidden to connect the device to the socket without the protective wire. When in doubts, the house electric system should be checked by the qualified technician. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages caused by connecting the device to the missing or interrupted protective wire.- 39 -

The temperature zones of the wine cooler are controlled independently with use of control elements. Pressing ON/OFF button allows for turning on on the upper control panel: device and upper temperature zone; on the lower panel: lower temperature zone. The digital display shows current average temperature for a given temperature zone.

The buttons and are used for adjustment of the following temperature settings: from 5 °C to 20 °C in the upper and lower temperature zone. Recommended storage temperature for white wine: 6 °C - 10 °C, for red wine: 12 °C - 18 °C. If both temperature zones are used, the temperature in the upper zone should be lower than in the lower zone. The lower temperature zone may be deactivated so only the upper zone remains active.

Wait until the device reaches the preset temperature and put the wine bottles inside. Hint: Keep in mind that in case of maximum load of the device chambers it must work longer to reach the preset temperature.

When preset temperature (e.g. 20°C) is reached, in the bottom and on the right side of temperature value “c” character appears.

When preset temperature (e.g. 5°C) is not reached yet, the character “c” is displayed in the top and on the right side of temperature value.

By pressing two buttons and simultaneously for 5 seconds it is possible to switch between °C and °F. With use of buttons and it is possible to adjust temperature every 1°C.

Button is used for turning on and off the internal light; LED lamp is installed under the ceiling of a given chamber.

Temperature in the device depends on environment, number of stored bottles, and preset temperature. Moreover the device is equipped with heating, so in case of lower ambient temperatures it may maintain wine temperature at desired level. When the device is no longer used, turn it off using ON/OFF and disconnect from the power supply (pull the plug!).- 41 -
