3. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before you use your wine cellar for the first time, please read this user manual carefully. Store it carefully so that
you can refer to it in future, if necessary.
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 centre 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.
This appliance is not intended for use by people (particularly children) with diminished physical, sensory or mental
capacities, or by people lacking experience or knowledge of such appliances, unless they are supervised by or
have received instruction regarding use of the appliance from a person who is responsible for their safety.
Do not allow children to play with the appliance. Abandoned appliances are always dangerous.
Disconnect the device before performing any servicing or cleaning operation (disconnect the mains plug or trip the
corresponding circuit breaker, depending on the model).
Never clean the appliance with inflammable products.
Do not store or spray any gas or inflammable liquid close to the appliance.
