INSTALLATION AND OPERATING CONDITIONS OF THE APPLIANCE

• Connect the appliance to the power supply 24 hours after unpacking and setting in the final location.
• Take the product out of the package, remove the scotch tape protecting the door and the equipment. Any remaining adhesive stains may be removed with a mild washing agent.
• Clean the interior surface of the cooler and the elements of the equipment with a washing agent dissolved in lukewarm water, then wipe it dry.
• Place the cooler on an even, flat and stable surface, in dry, aired and shaded room, far from the heat sources such as: oven, hob, central heating radiators, central heating pipes, hot water installation, etc.
• On the exterior surface of the product may be a protective foil, this foils should be removed.
• Make sure the appliance is placed in a horizontal position by screwing in the 2 adjustable front legs (fig. 1)
• Keep free space on the sides and rear of the appliance (see installation drawing)
• When you install your wine cooler inside a furniture cabinet, make sure that the ventilation grille located in the bottom of the appliance is not blocked. Odours may be released when you first start your appliance. It will dissipate when the interior of the appliance cools down
• When you first start your wine cooler, the compressor will run continuously until the desired temperature is reached inside the chamber
• When you unplug your appliance from the power supply, it is recommended to wait 5 minutes before you plug it back in. This will reduce the risk of damage to the compressor.
• On selected models, the correct temperature will be shown on the display only a few hours after the wine cooler has been put into operation
• This appliance should be connected to AC 220-240V 50Hz supply socket. The socket must be fitted properly, and must be supplied with an earthing conduit and a 10A fuse.
• It is a legal requirement that the appliance is properly earthed. The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damage or injury which may result from the failure to fulfil this requirement.
• Do not use adapters, multiple sockets and two wire extension leads. If it is necessary to use the extension lead, it must be equipped with a protection ring and a single socket and must have a VDE/GS safety certificate.
• If an extension lead is used (with a protection ring and safety certificate), its socket must be located at a safe distance, away from the sinks, and must not be in a place where it could be flooded by water or waste water.
• Make sure the appliance can be easily disconnected from the mains, either by pulling the plug out of the mains socket, or by switching the two-pole switch off.

Climate range

The information about the climate range of the appliance is provided on the rated plate. It indicates at which ambient temperature (that is, room temperature, in which the appliance is working) the operation of the appliance is optimal (proper).

ambient temperature ranging between 10°C and 32°C
N| Temperate| This refrigeration appliance is intended for use at an ambient temperature ranging between 16 °C and 32°C
ST| Subtropical| This refrigeration appliance is intended for use at an ambient temperature ranging between 16 °C and 38 °C

PRACTICAL EVERYDAY TIPS

• If the light inside the appliance remains turned on, keep in mind that the temperature inside the appliance will be higher
• Temperature inside the appliance depends on the amount and type of stored wine bottles
• To ensure user safety and high quality of stored wine, do not install the appliance in damp rooms
• Store wine bottles in designated spaces
• Your wine cooler has a limited capacity. Do not place more bottles in your wine cooler than recommended in specification
• Do not open the wine cooler door if it is not necessary
• Do not cover the shelves with aluminium foil or other material. This blocks the air circulation inside the appliance
• To avoid damage to the door seal, make sure that  the door is completely open before pulling out the shelf. The shelves should be in- serted as far as possible, otherwise the shelf may deform and dam- age the door seal.
• Do not extend the loaded shelves beyond the extension limit (about 1/3 of the shelf length)
• This appliance is designed for storing bottles of wine. Do not use it for any other purpose.
• Temperature stability is very important when storing wine.
• Exposing your wine cooler to sunlight, significant temperature fluctuations, high humidity and vibrations may cause the wine to go bad.
• In periods of high humidity, condensed water vapour may appear on the outer surfaces of the glass door. To prevent this, install the appliance in a dry, adequately ventilated room.
• Selected models have an external handle. You need to install it on your own. Do not use electric tools for this purpose (fig. 3*). To do this, pull the door seal slightly to the side and place the screws on the inside of the door. Align the handle with the holes on the outside of the door and tighten the screws with a screwdriver. Reinstall the door seal.
• The maximum capacity of the appliance is given in the product sheet enclosed with the wine cooler. This capacity applies to standard 0.75  litre bottles of Bordeaux.
• Selected models have an Anti-tip kit. Install it according to the en- closed diagram (fig. 6*).
• This refrigeration appliance is intended for use as a built-in appliance.
• To achieve the most effective food preservation for the longest possible time and to avoid wasting any food, position the products as shown in Figure 12. In addition, this figure illustrates the layout of drawers, baskets and shelves, which allows the most efficient use of energy.
• Optimal temperature and storage conditions will extend product shelf life and optimize electricity consumption. Optimal storage temperature range should be stated on the food product packaging.

UNPACKING

During transportation, protective packaging was used to protect the appliance against any damage. After unpacking, please dispose of all elements of packaging in a way that will not cause damage to the environment. All materials used for packaging the appliance are environmentally friendly; they are 100% recyclable and are marked with the appropriate symbol. Important!

Internal Humidity

According to the model wine coolers are equipped with a humidity system to maintain optimal humidity within the wine cooler. Fill the humidity reservoir approximately 3/4 full with water. Place the reservoir on the runners on the top shelf as shown in fig. 2. Ensure it is located correctly to prevent water spillage. Check the water level regularly and refill if required.

Temperature display

The temperature display will show the current internal temperature.

The display flashes:

The function is active when the appliance is connected to the power sup- ply. Push the door slightly toward the appliance, the door will be slightly ajar, then you can open it all the way.

Do not block the door during automatic opening, it may damage the mechanism.

Do not block the pin, it is a small element that opens the door. If the pin is stuck preventing the door from closing, unplug the appliance from the wall power outlet the pin should return to the correct position after about 10 seconds.

The Push To Open feature operates properly after about 3 seconds after the door is closed or opened. If the door does not open immediately after closing it, wait a while.

Door pressure sensitivity adjustment

To change the door pressure sensitivity for Push To Open feature, do the following:

• Open the door
• Turn the screw at the top centre of the door counter-clockwise to in- crease sensitivity and clockwise to decrease sensitivity.
