GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For your safety and correct usage, before installing and first using the appliance, read this user manual
carefully, including its hints and warnings. To avoid unnecessary mistakes and accidents, it is important to
make sure that all people using the appliance are thoroughly familiar with its operation and safety features.
Save these instructions and be sure that they remain with the appliance if it is moved or sold, so that anyone
using it throughout its life, will be properly informed on its usage and safety notices.
For the safety of life and property, keep the precautions of these user's instructions as the manufacturer is
not responsible for damages caused by omission.
Generally speaking, your appliance must be maintained by a qualified professional.
This appliance is intended exclusively for domestic use and controlling the temperature of wine, or other
drinks, if you so choose. Under no circumstances is it intended for the storage of food.
Make sure that your electrical installation's voltage corresponds to that on the appliance's nameplate; the
appliance must be connected to an approved, earthed system. Incorrect repairs or connections can cause
safety hazards. Have your electrical installation checked by a professional, if you are in any doubt.
This unit must be correctly connected to an earthed socket for your protection. Do not cut off or remove the
earth wire on the mains cable supplied.
For safety reasons, do not use an electrical extension cable.
If your appliance is damaged (e.g. a major impact) or suffers harm (power surge due to lightning, flood, fire),
it may be dangerous to use. Disconnect the mains plug and have the appliance checked by an approved
professional repairer.
To prevent any danger, do not replace a damaged mains cable yourself. Contact your retailer, an approved
service center or professional repairer.
This appliance must be positioned such that the mains socket is accessible. Do not move the appliance
once it is full: you might distort its body beyond repair. The electrical parts must not be directly accessible.
▪
Keep children away from the appliance.
▪
Do not use this appliance outdoors.
In the event that liquid is accidentally spilled (broken bottle, etc.) on electrical components (motor, etc.),
disconnect the mains plug immediately.
To prevent any risk of fire, electrocution or injury, do not immerse the mains cable, plug or the appliance
itself in water or any other liquid. Do not handle the appliance with wet hands.
Keep the appliance away from any source of heat and out of direct sunlight.
Do not allow the mains cable to hang from a table or be in contact with sharp edges or hot surfaces.
Do not pull on the mains cable - take hold of the plug to disconnect the appliance.
Ensure that the area where your appliance is positioned can support its weight when loaded (a 75 cl bottle
weighs approximately 1.3 kg).
Your cellar must be placed on a flat surface. If you have to position it on a rug or carpet, place a support
underneath.
