General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, always follow basic safety precautions
and accident prevention measures when using this appliance, including the following:
Electrical safety
• Voltage: Before connecting and turning on the fridge, ensure the electrical voltage
and circuit frequency correspond to those indicated on the appliance rating label.
• Power connection: This wine fridge must be connected to an exclusive, properly
grounded 220-240 V~ 50Hz electrical outlet. Do not overload the electrical circuit.
•
Plug: The power cord of this wine fridge is equipped with a three-prong plug
for use in standard wall outlets to minimise the possibility of electric shock. Do
not modify the cord and plug provided with the appliance. Improper use of the
grounded plug can result in the risk of electric shock.
• Power cord:
Do not kink or damage the power cord; do not leave it exposed or
dangling. Do not let it touch heated surfaces. Secure the cord at the back of the
appliance so no one steps on or places anything on the cord or against it. Keep the
cord out of reach of children. Never lift or carry the wine fridge by the cord. When
moving the appliance, make sure not to damage the power cord.
• No inverter, adaptor or extension cord:
Do not use an inverter, adaptor or extension
cord. If the cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the
appliance. Use of an extension cord can negatively affect the performance of the unit.
• Damaged cord: Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along
its length or at either end. Any damage to the cord may cause a short circuit, fire
and/or electric shock. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent. Contact the after sales support line for advice.
• Protect from moisture:
To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not
immerse the unit, cord or plug in water or spray any other liquids on the appliance
and parts. Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug with wet hands, while
standing on a wet surface or while standing in water.
•
WARNING!
Never unplug the unit by pulling the cord. Always grip the plug firmly
and pull straight out from the power point.
• Electrical work: If the installation of this appliance requires any electrical work,
make sure it is carried out by a qualified electrician.
