SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Check that the voltage of the power supply in your home is the same as the voltage shown on the rating label of this product.
• This device may be only used by children 8 years old or older and persons with limited physical, sensory and mental capabilities and / or lack of experience and knowledge, provided that they have been instructed in use of the device by a responsible person who understands the associated risks.
• Keep ventilation opening, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• It is recommended to check regularly the supply cord for any sign of possible deterioration, and the appliance should not be used if the cable is damaged.
• To avoid injury or death from electrical shock, do not operate the appliance with wet hands, while standing on a wet surface.
• It is not recommended to use this refrigerator with an extension cord or power board. Please ensure that the appliance is plugged directly into the electrical outlet.
• When positioning the appliance, ensure that there is at least a 5~cm clearance at the sides and a 10~cm clearance at the back as this is the main outlet for heat. This will allow for adequate ventilation.
• Do not place hot food or drink into the refrigerator before it cools down to room temperature.
• Close the door immediately after putting in any items so the inside temperature will not rise dramatically.
• Keep appliance away from any heat source or direct sunlight.
• To fix stably, the appliance must be placed on a flat and solid surface. It should not be laid on any soft material.
• Do not place any other appliance on top of the refrigerator, and do not wet it.

• Do not use outdoors or in wet conditions.
• Never pull the cord to disconnect it from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull it from the outlet.
• Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
• This appliance has been incorporated with a grounded plug. Please ensure the wall outlet in your house is well earthed.
• Connect your refrigerator to an independent electrical socket and use a safe ground wire.
• Turn on electricity only 5 minutes later after electricity goes off. Otherwise, the compressor may be damaged.

This appliance contains the coolant isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is unavoidable, and does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes.

Special notes

Children between the ages of 3 and 8 are allowed to fi ll refrigerators with food and remove food.
- When positioning the unit, make sure that the power cord is not pinched or damaged.
- Make sure that there are no multiple sockets or power supplies on the back of the unit.

To avoid contamination of food, please follow the instructions below:

• A prolonged opening of the door can lead to a signifi cant rise in temperature in the compartments of the appliance.

WARNING

When using, servicing and disposing of the unit, pay attention to the left symbol on the rear of the unit or on the compressor. This symbol warns of possible fi res. There are fl ammable substances in the refrigerant lines and in the compressor. Keep the appliance away from sources of fire during use, maintenance and disposal.

Notes on correct use

• This device is intended exclusively for the storage of wine.
• This appliance is not intended for use as a built-in appliance unless explicitly mentioned in the instructions.
• This appliance is not suitable for freezing food.
• The shelves have been installed in advance to allow the most efficiient use of energy.

Note: It is recommended to set the temperature to 12^ . If the temperature is set too high, the wine may spoil; if the temperature is set too low, a lot of electricity is consumed.

Special notes on the shelves

• The shelves were placed in advance in such a way that they allow the most efficient use of energy.
• Only use the shelves provided by the manufacturer.
• Never block the holes in the shelves or use other types of shelves not approved by the manufacturer, which may cause poor cooling or increase energy consumption.
• We recommend that you use the shelves as shown to ensure the most efficient use of energy.

Notes on ambient temperature

Install this unit in a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the unit's nameplate.

SN	Extended temperate	This cooling unit is designed for use at ambient temperatures of 10-32 °C.
N	Temperate	This cooling unit is intended for use at ambient temperatures of 16-32 °C.
ST	Subtropical	This cooling unit is intended for use at ambient temperatures of 16-38 °C.
T	Tropical	This cooling unit is intended for use at ambient temperatures of 16-43 °C.

The ambient temperature influences the internal temperature of the wine refrigerator. For optimal operation of the wine refrigerator, we recommend an ambient temperature of 23^ to 25^ .

INSTALLATION

Before first use

Allow 24 hours before switching on the wine cellar. During this time we recommend that you leave the door open to clear any residual odors.

Note: All models without front venting (air opening) are strictly for free standing only.

Location

The location you have selected for your wine cellar should:

• be unencumbered and well ventilated;
• be well away from any heat source and direct sunlight;
  not be too damp (laundry, pantry, bathroom etc.).
  have a flat floor;
  have a standard and reliable electricity supply
  have a surge protector fitted to the electrical outlet;
• Away from the microwave oven. Certain microwave ovens do not have wave interference shield. When placed within 1 meter vicinity of the wine cabinet, they may affect the operation of the wine cabinet.

Placing in cold or hot temperature conditions may cause cellar's temperatures fluctuating, and it will not reach the ideal one.

Installation

• Unpack and remove all of the protection and adhesive strips from the packaging around and inside the wine cellar.
• The wine cellar must be positioned such that the plug is accessible. Release the power cord. Move your wine cellar to its final location. The wine cellar should be installed in a suitable place where the compressor will not be subject to physical contact.
• Wine cellar must be leveled before loading your wines. Your wine cellar is equipped with 4 adjustable feet to facilitate easy leveling. The cooler recommends that you tighten the back feet to the maximum and adjust the front feet to level the wine cellar.

COMMISSIONING

Before first use

Remove all packing material. Allow the appliance to stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging the power plug into the wall socket. This reduces the possibility of malfunction due to improper handling during transport. Clean the internal surfaces with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.

Before switching on

• Make sure that the machine is installed by a qualified person, following the operating instructions.
• After installing the machine, wait four hours before plugging the power plug into the wall outlet. This will allow the refrigerant to be completely redistributed in the refrigerant circuit.
• Before using the machine for the first time, clean the exterior of the machine and the removable accessories with a mild soap solution and water.
• Clean the inside of the appliance with a solution of sodium bicarbonate and water. After cleaning, dry the inside of the appliance and the accessories properly.
• When you turn on the machine for the first time, a strange smell may appear. This is normal and the smell disappears as soon as the unit starts to cool down.

During first use

Note: When you use the unit for the first time or switch it on again after a long period, there may be a difference of a few degrees between the temperature you set and the temperature displayed on the screen. This is normal. If the unit has been switched on for a few hours, the temperature will adjust.

• The first time you switch on the unit, the compressor of the unit runs continuously until the unit has cooled down.
• The appliance door should be opened as little as possible during the cooling down process.
• If the unit has been switched off or the mains plug has been removed from the socket, you should wait at least 5 minutes before switching it on again or plugging the mains plug back into the socket.

Filling the machine

• The device is ideal for storing wine bottles of the size and shape of 0.75 litres of Bordeaux. It is possible to store larger wine bottles. However, care must be taken to ensure that the appliance door can be closed properly.
  Before closing the door, always make sure that it is not blocked by a wine bottle.
• If you place several wine bottles in the appliance at the same time, it will take longer for the individual wine bottles to cool down.
• The number of bottles that can be placed in the appliance varies depending on the size and shape of the wine bottles.
• The maximum number of wine bottles that can be stored is based on standard 0.75 litre Bordeaux wine bottles.

Storage recommendations

Type of wine Temperature Celsius Temperature Fahrenheit
Red wine 15 – 18 °C 58 – 65	°F
White wine 9 – 14 °C 48 – 57	°F
Sparkling wine / champagne 4 – 8 °C 39 – 47	°F

• The most important thing when storing wine is that the storage temperature remains continuously stable.
• Vibrations, temperature variations, light exposure and humidity are factors that can cause wine to tip over. When stored correctly, not only is the quality of the wine maintained, but its aroma, taste and complexity are also improved during the maturing process.
• Wine that is stored at a higher temperature matures faster. Wines which are stored at more than 18^ C lose their flavour and aroma.
• If wine is stored at too low a temperature, this can lead to the development of residues that are harmful to health. An air humidity of 60% - 70% is ideal to prevent corks from shrinking.
• After a wine bottle has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air. It is therefore recommended to store the rest of the wine upright in the bottle to minimise the surface area that comes into contact with air.
• Once a wine bottle has been opened, white wines can be drunk for another 2 days and red wines for another 3 days if the bottle has been closed. Make sure that the wine bottle has been tightly closed again.
• Special stoppers, which keep wine and champagne fresh, can be purchased in most wine shops.
• As long as white wine is stored correctly, it can be kept for up to 2 years. Full-bodied red wines can be stored for up to 10 years and dessert wines for up to 20 years.

OPERATION

• As soon as the power is connected, the cooling system starts working. The temperature is set to a specific position. When the temperature of the appliance reaches the set point, the temperature control system stops the cooling system so that the temperature in the cabinet gradually increases.
• When the internal temperature rises above the set point, the temperature control system starts working again and the internal temperature is cooled down again.
• After you have set the temperature, the display will return to showing the temperature inside the cabinet, but it may rotate to the point that you have set gradually.

CLEANING AND CARE

Cleaning the Unit

• First switch off the unit and disconnect the power plug from the socket. Remove the entire contents.
• Wash the interior with a damp cloth dipped in lukewarm water with a little detergent.
• Make sure that the rubber seal on the door is clean so that the unit remains powerful.
• The exterior of the wine refrigerator should be cleaned with a mild detergent.
• Dry the inside and outside with a soft cloth.
• Dust and anything else that blocks the exhaust air openings will reduce the cooling capacity of the unit. If necessary, suck off the exhaust air opening.

Shutdown in absentia

• Turn off the unit first. Then disconnect the power plug.
• Remove the entire contents.
• Clean the unit.
• Keep the lid open slightly to prevent condensation, mould or odours.
