• Small size, taking up less space.

CAUTION: Because the refrigerant gases are combustible, professional service people will be required to dispose of the electric cooler once it is out of use.
WARNING: Do not use this product in a place where children can touch it and do not leave children to use it alone. Disposal of waste
To avoid any harm to the environment or human health caused by the uncontrolled disposal of electrical waste, recycle the device responsibly to promote the reuse of material resources. Disposal must be done safely at public collection points provided for this purpose. Older refrigerators may contain CFCs that destroy the ozone layer; contact your nearest waste treatment center for more details on proper disposal procedures.
This appliance contains the coolant isobutene(R600a),a natural gas that 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. 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 the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes. A wine cellar is the most practical space for storing wines. Its role is to balance the temperature and humidity inside so that your wine does not lose its taste and its aromas. Due to these heavy operations, noises can be heard. Most of the time, this is normal noise. Before calling technical service for assistance, please read these few lines. These sounds are completely normal: buzzing, roaring, clicking, cracking … When the cellar has just stopped working, you may hear a buzzing, roaring, clicking or squealing noise. When the operation stabilizes, the sounds subside. For direct cooling, some kind of irregular cracking, hissing, bubbling, crackling can often be heard when the compressor is running for a while or has just stopped. This sound is caused by the relief of stress due to expansion and contraction when temperature changes, and will not be affected by normal application of the product. The compressor consists of an electric motor and a compression device. Due to the heat produced during the compression of the refrigerant, it is possible especially in summer when the ambient temperature is higher that heat is emitted by the cellar. All of these phenomena are normal.
To reduce some noises:
First, make sure your cellar is on a level surface. Location is important, do not lean the cellar against the wall. The bottles must be correctly loaded to avoid parasitic vibrations. The noise may come from the circulation fan, check that nothing is interfering with its operation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before putting your appliance into service

• Remove all inner and outer packaging components.
• This appliance is designed to be free-standing.
• Before connecting your device to a power supply, allow it to stand upright for about 2 hours. This reduces the risk of malfunction of the refrigeration system due to handling during transport.
• Clean the inner surfaces of the unit with a soft cloth and warm water.
• Leave 10cm of free space between the back and sides of the unit to allow for ventilation of the cooling system. Failure to do so will result in poor cooling performance, and dust build-up on the components and dramatically shorten the life of the product. It may also void the warranty.

Below are the guidelines for creating proper ventilation Ventilation basics: While the unit is cooling(removing the heat)from its interior, the removed heat is being dissipated through the condenser coil at the rear of the appliance. This heat must be removed with proper air circulation and exhausted to the outside of the cabinet enclosure. If this is not done, excessive heat will build up inside the cabinet enclosure and prevent the unit from maintaining proper cooling, increase power consumption and overheat the electrical components.

• Place your unit on a floor strong enough to support the weight of the fully filled unit.

• Make sure the unit is level by adjusting the front feet underneath the unit. Make sure that the appliance rests on its feet in a stable manner.

• Install the appliance away from direct sunlight and heat sources (radiator, hot plate, etc.). Direct sunlight can damage the unit’s coating and heat can increase its power consumption. If the ambient temperature is extremely cold or hot, this may prevent the unit from operating properly.

• The unit is not designed to be installed in a basement or cellar.

• This unit is designed exclusively for indoor use.
  Caution: Make sure that the unit is kept away from any substance that may cause combustion.

• Check that the water tank is in place before connecting the unit.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning your appliance

• Unplug your appliance and take out all the bottles.
• Clean the outside of the unit with hot water and a mild detergent.
• Remove the water tank at the bottom of the unit, then wash it.

Moving your appliance

• Remove all bottles and disconnect the appliance.
• Tape all loose parts inside your appliance.
• Turn the feet to adjust their height to the minimum to avoid damage.
• Tighten the door to keep it closed.
• Be sure to keep the appliance upright during transport.

USE YOUR APPLIANCE

Your cooler has an electric temperature control on the front of the unit. You may program of your cooler at any setting you desire. The temperature is adjusted in the range of 11-18°C in the cabinet. If the ambient temperature is higher or lower than the recommended temperatures, this will have a negative impact on its performance. For example, placing the unit in an extremely cold or hot place can cause variations in the internal temperature of the unit.
The internal temperature may vary depending on the location of the bottles, at the top, middle or bottom. Adjustment may be necessary depending on the ambient temperature. The cooler is designed for the maximum storage of 6 standard size (75cl) bottles of wine.

To minimize energy consumption, be sure to respect the filling capacity of your cooler–6 “Bordeaux 75cl” size bottles. When you use the cooler for the first time or restart the cooler after having been shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the display. This is normal and is due to the length of the activation time. Once the wine cooler is running for a few hours everything will be back to normal. If you are concerned that the temperature display of cooler is not correct and wish to check the temperature you will need a special fridge/freezer thermometer. You may also need a hygrometer to check the humidity of your cooler. These are available from most supermarkets and hardware shops. Place the thermometer and hygrometer on the middle shelf of the electric cooler, where it can be read easily. Leave overnight, compare the temperature of the thermometer and the display in the wine cooler. The humidity in the cooler should be between 50%-80% RH depending on the type of wine.

NOTE:

• When the power is connected, cooling system starts to work. The temperature is set on a certain position, which means that if the temperature of the appliance reach the point set, the Self-control Temperature System stops cooling system so the temperature in the cabinet rises gradually.
• When the inside temperature rises above the set point, Cooling Self-control Temperature starts to work again, the cooler enter into cooling circles.
• After you setting the temperature, the display will return to show the temperature in the cooler, but it could turn to the point that you have set gradually.
