I. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your appliance, follow these basic precautions

• Read all instructions before using the Cooler.
  • DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment.
  Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous even if they will "just sit in the garage a few days".
• Before you throw away your old Cooler: Take off the door. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
• Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance.
• Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the Cooler or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions. Replace the fuse with the same type.

III. TEMPERATURE CONTROL

• It is recommended that the wine cooler should be installed in an area where the ambient temperature is between 10-26°C (50-80°F).
• If the ambient temperature is above or below the recommended ranges, the unit's performance may be affected, and extreme cold or hot conditions may cause the interior temperature to fluctuate. This will prevent the optimal range from being reached. In addition, keep in mind that the temperature may fluctuate depending on whether the interior light is on or off, and whether the bottles are located on the upper, middle, or lower racks.
