As defined in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2016, all information relating to this refrigeration appliance is available on the EPREL Base (European Product Database for energy labeling). This database enables you to consult the information and technical documentation of your refrigeration appliance. You can access the EPREL Database by scanning the QR code on the energy label of your appliance or by going directly to: www.ec.europa.eu and searching the reference of your refrigeration appliance.19 Announced capacity The advertised capacity is measured according to the EN62552 standard. This standard is calculated with 75cl traditional Bordeaux type bottles. Any other type of bottle format as well as the addition of shelves will considerably reduce the storage capacity. The maximum capacity is calculated with a defined number of shelves which vary according to the models.

4. PARTICULAR PRECAUTIONS

This appliance is indicated for operation in rooms with a very specific ambient temperature, this climatic class is indicated on the rating plate. The ambient temperature affects the interior temperature, the humidity of your cellar, and the operation of the compressor. Your device can operate in an ambient temperature between 5°C and 20°C. Outside of these limits, your device cannot guarantee normal operation and may cause breakdowns. For optimal operation and to achieve the desired performance, the device has been designed to operate at an ambient temperature between 20°C and 23°C. An ambient temperature above or below 20-23°C may affect the performance of the appliance in reaching the desired set temperature.

The appliance's thermostat is electronic and allows you to set the temperature between 11 and 18 degrees. For storage, it is recommended that you set your appliance to 17 degrees. This temperature can be adapted according to the type stored. Setting the temperature above 17 degrees will reduce the energy consumption of the appliance. Setting the temperature below 17 degrees will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.

5. Lower temperature adjustment20

• When the surrounding temperature is 25℃ and the electric cooler has no bottle loaded, it will take around 30 minutes to increase the electric cooler’s temperature from 11℃ to 18℃.

• Under the same circumstance, it will take around one hour to decrease the electric cooler’s temperature from 18℃ to 11℃. The appliance assures that temperature is maintained as long as it is in operation and that it is used in normal conditions of use. The temperature inside the appliance and its energy consumption can be influenced by many factors: ambient temperature, exposure to the sun, number of door openings and quantity stored… Slight changes in temperature are perfectly normal.

5. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning your thermoelectric cooler Before cleaning your appliance (something that should be done regularly), disconnect it by removing the plug or by pulling the fuse on the circuit. Before using your appliance for the first time and regularly after that, we recommend that you clean the inside and outside (front, sides and top) with warm water mixed with a gentle cleaning product. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry before reconnecting. Do not use solvents or abrasives. In the event of a pronounced plastic smell, clean the appliance with a mixture of two tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda, mixed in a ¼ litre of lukewarm water. When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there may be a residual odour. In that case, run the appliance empty for a few hours at the coldest possible temperature. The cold will kill any odours. Moving your thermoelectric cooler

• Remove all the bottles.

• Securely tape down all loose items inside your thermoelectric cooler.

• Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.

• Be sure the thermoelectric cooler stays in the upright position during transportation. In case of power failure Most power outages are resolved for a short period of time. A 1 or 2 hours shutdown will not affect the temperatures of your device. To protect your drinks during power outages, consider minimizing the number of door openings. For very long power cuts, take the necessary measures to protect your drinks. In the event of a breakdown Despite the care we take during production, a breakdown can never be totally ruled out. Before contacting your retailer’s after-sales department, please check that:

• The appliance is properly plugged in

• There is not a power cut in progress

• The breakdown is not one of those described in the table at the end of this manual IMPORTANT: if the power cable supplied is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a service center approved by the brand or the retailer. In all events, it must be replaced by qualified personnel in order to avoid any risk of injury. If these checks reveal nothing, then contact your retailer’s After-Sales Department. CAUTION! Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance or repair work.21
