Safety Precautions 

 

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the appliance or any 
other appliance.  

 

Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure to unplug the appliance.  

 

Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug with wet hands.  

 

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this 
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. 

 

This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a) which is environ-
mentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase the greenhouse 
effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling 
system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the eyes. 

In the event of leakage: 

-   

 Avoid open flames and anything which creates a spark 

-   

 Disconnect from the mains 

-   

 Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes and contact the Service Department

cient airflow between items. Please note that the temperature range for this wine refrigerator is optimized

 

Do not place hot food or beverages into the appliance.
