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 fl owing 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.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before installation
Before connecting the wine cooler to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling during transportation. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth (see Maintenance and Cleaning).

Installation

• This wine cooler is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
• Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the wine cooler, which allows the proper air ventilation. Adjust the feet to keep the wine cooler level. Locate the wine cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Ambient temperature below 5°C or above 32°C will hinder the performance of this appliance.
• Depending on the location of the appliance, the direction of the door opens can be changed.
• This unit is not designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation.
• Avoid locating the wine cooler in moist areas.
• Plug the wine cooler into dedicated, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

• The interior of the appliance should be cleaned with a solution of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in lukewarm water. The interior and accessories should be thoroughly dried, after the cleaning process has been completed.
• There can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It will lessen as the appliance starts to cool.

During first use

Important: When you use the wine cooler for the first time or restart the appliance after it has been turned off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED display. This is normal and it is due to the length of activation time. Once the wine cooler has been running for a few hours everything will be back to normal.

When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run continuously until
the wine cooler reaches a cool enough temperature.

• During this period of time, you should try not to open the door frequently or place bottles inside of the appliance.
• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance or reconnecting it to your mains supply.

• As many bottles may differ in size and dimensions, the actual number of bottles you are able to store may vary.
• The maximum storage number is based on standard 0.75 litre Bordeaux style wine bottles.
